In women, a sexual problem is understood as weak or no interest in intimate contact, failure to achieve arousal and orgasm. Not a few women describe painful coitus as such. Almost every woman has at some point in her life suffered from a certain sexual problem, but it usually goes away. In other cases, however, left unresolved, it can reflect on the self-esteem of the woman, her partner, on the intimate relationship and even other spheres of life such as friendships, at work, relations with parents, etc. For different people, sexuality has its dimensions, some are more – active and cannot go a day without sex, for others it is normal to indulge in caresses once a week. Some find it more difficult to adjust to sex, for others it is an essential necessity, some get excited just at the thought of intercourse, others… The attitude towards sex, and hence the libido, depend on the stages of life in which we are.

A woman’s body requires a little more time for irritation signals to reach the brain and vice versa, to supply blood to the organs, unlock secretions, etc. If there are any emotional inhibitions, even problems at work, it will be difficult for a woman to “switch” to a wave of sex. The same applies if he experiences any purely physical ailments, even more so, pain.
