Frigidity the Female Sexual
Dysfunction
Frigidity is broadly used
to refer to a low libido (sex drive) in women. This term frigidity is
often used incorrectly to describe a woman who is emotionally cold or
does not respond to her partner’s sexual advances. Frigidity or sexual
dysfunction in women may involve a reduction in sex drive, a strong
dislike of sexual activity, difficulty becoming aroused, inability to
achieve orgasm, or pain with sexual activity or intercourse.
Traditionally, frigidity or sexual dysfunction in women was thought to
be largely due to psychological problems. Recent research is beginning
to uncover many physical causes for sexual problems in women. While many
sexual problems have an underlying psychological component, possible
physical causes must be ruled out in the initial examination.
