Did you know that a man’s erectile dysfunction can cause his wife or girlfriend to experience female sexual dysfunction? Women need to feel loved, emotionally stable and secure in order to fully enjoy sexual relations and something that is upsetting them can cause a lack of desire.

Women also say that they need to feel beautiful and sexy to in order to be turned on and get an orgasm. Sometimes when a man is unable to perform well sexually due to erectile dysfunction the woman perceives this as a sign that she is not physically attractive to him. This in turn is likely to lower her libido and her chances of getting an orgasm. Over time this psychological problem can get worse if it is not dealt with and spoken about.
It is essential for women to understand that men do not get erectile dysfunction because they find a woman unattractive. The truth is that if a man wants to he is able to have sex with almost any woman and thus men who are unable to get an erection either have a problem with their penile artery or a psychological problem.
Women like to have at least fifteen minutes of foreplay before penetrative sex is initiated and women also say that the longer the foreplay period the better the sex for them.
Women have just as much of a issue talking about sexual dysfunction as men do and as a result many women have just learned to live with either no sex or unenjoyable sex out of a sense of duty.
Female sexual dysfunction is a serious condition for women and can cause severe psychological distress to them and their partners. The first thing that must be done if you are suffering from this condition is talk to your sexual partner about how you feel. There are also medical treatments like the drug Intrinsa which can be prescribed by a doctor.
