Despite desire (also known as libido or sex drive) being the most common sexual health concern for women, most women aren’t really taught about it growing up.

Key Points: 
  • Despite desire (also known as libido or sex drive) being the most common sexual health concern for women, most women aren’t really taught about it growing up.
  • Discrepancies in sexual desire and satisfaction are often reported as key reasons for relationship difficulties.
  • This article is part of Women’s Health Matters, a series about the health and wellbeing of women and girls around the world.

Desire is constantly changing

    • Desire is also a multifaceted response, which can either follow or occur at the same time as pleasure or arousal.
    • Sexual desire can also be affected by many environmental factors, which helps explain why it may wane during periods of stress or in longer term relationships.
    • Even factors such as gender roles and norms are thought to cause low sexual desire for women in heterosexual relationships.

Certain life transitions can have a major effect

    • Pregnancy, the post-partum period, perimenopause and menopause are all significant transitional periods in women’s lives that can also have a major impact on sexual desire.
    • For example, body changes that may happen during these transitional periods can affect body image and self-esteem, which in turn affects desire.
    • Importantly, these life transitions also affect other areas of our lives – and may lead to stress, fatigue, changes in relationship roles and less time for intimacy.

Desire can be cultivated

    • Recent psychosocial approaches to addressing low sexual desire emphasise the importance of balancing intimacy and eroticism, which is a focus on sensuality and pleasure over arousal and orgasm.
    • Research indicates that, while intimacy is essential in healthy partnered sexuality, eroticism helps increase desire by promoting mystery and sexual excitement.
    • Sexual desire is not a problem to be solved – but a skill to be learned and cultivated throughout life.
