What is Frigidity in Women?

Frigidity in women, or Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD), refers to a low sex drive and weakened sexual responsiveness in females. The lack of libido in women is more or less similar to erectile dysfunction in males.

It is manifested with avoidance of sex for a considerable duration or non-responsiveness towards sexual advances of a normal and cooperative sexual partner. In normal sexual process the sex organ is engorged with blood causing vaginal lubrication, clitoris enlargement and widening of the vaginal opening. In the physiological context, FSAD refers to failure of the genitals to be adequately filled with blood to produce desired lubrication or vaginal relaxation vital for intercourse.

Frigidity in women owes its roots to various psychological and physiological factors. Certain ailments like hypertension or diabetes could lead to FSAD. Often hormonal changes with age are found instrumental in creating frigidity.

Various experiences on conscious and subconscious levels create negative associations with sex. Women at times harbour uncertainties about their sexual performance coupled with a fear of rejection. A feeling of guilt in sexual enjoyment due to poor sex education may also be present. Sexual traumas like rape can create aversion, fear or anxiety associated with intimacy. In married couples, marital conflicts or hostility towards the husband could also suppress the desire for sexual intimacy.

FSAD cases need to be handled delicately and a full history can only be obtained after several sittings. In seemingly incurable cases, thorough psychological counselling is advised.
