Common causes of sexual dysfunction:
  • Smoking
  • Hormonal problems, e.g. menopause
  • High blood pressure
  • Depression
  • Stress, including the birth of a child
  • Body image and self esteem problems
  • Relationship problems
  • Vaginal and urinary tract infections
  • Endometriosis and fibroid
  • Pelvic surgery, e.g., hysterectomy

    How to maintain sexual desire - the Berman way:
  • Let go of the pressure to perform. Focus on the feelings of sensuality instead
  • Don't be ashamed to fantasise
  • Vigorous aerobic exercise improves sensation, lubrication, arousal and orgasmic intensity
  • Go for aromatherapy. Many oils can enhance relaxation and sensuality
  • Don't fake it. Talk to your partner instead. Faking devalues your own sexuality and your partner's
  • Masturbate as often as you need to. Get to know what you like, so that you can pass it on to your partner
  • Daily Kegel exercises can lead to intense orgasms. Clench and release the pelvic floor muscles repeatedly (as if stopping urine in midstream)
  • Try different sex toys such as vibrators

    'Why does the field of women's sexual health lag 30 years behind that of men? Why haven't women received the same attention? To understand the present we have to consider the past,,,' The Bermans on the history of female sexuality - read on.
