A woman’s ability to experience pleasurable sex can be a much more complicated issue than it is for a man. Not to say that men don’t have their own sexual issues, but studies show that the route a woman must travel to reach sexual satisfaction–if not actual orgasm–involves many more factors, from hormones to brain waves to emotions. Even temperature can play a factor. For instance, did you know that research found that women were more likely to achieve orgasm if their feet were warm? It’s true!
Decreased Sexual Sensation: A Primary Cause
One of the main reasons that women are not as sexually satisfied as they could be is that they have poor pelvic floor muscle tone, which leads to less sensation during sex. For women, strong pelvic muscle tone can play an important role in increasing sexual satisfaction. Toned pelvic muscles mean more circulation, more nerve endings, more “stretch” during penetration, and overall better sex!
5 Questions to Ask Yourself
If you think you may be missing out on better sex because of decreased sexual sensation, ask yourself these 5 questions:
1. Do you have difficulty reaching orgasm during sex?
2. Have you experienced less sexual satisfaction or sensation in your sexual organs after menopause?
3. Do you feel little or no sensation in your sexual organs during sex (including masturbation)?
4. Do you have little or no interest in sex because you do not feel pleasurable sensations during sex?
5. Do you have less sensation than you used to in your sexual organs?
If you answered “Yes” to 2 or more of these questions, chances are that you experience decreased sexual sensation. That may not make you a happy camper, but the good news is that your condition is not permanent. More importantly, you can take steps to improve your condition and your sexual experience.
