Health Disorders

Such frigidity — this is sexual coldness caused by any disturbances in the body. The most common causes of this condition are:

• An endocrine disorder that reduces the production of sex hormones.

• Anomalies in the structure of the genital organs, in which sexual intercourse causes pain to a woman or is basically impossible.

• Diseases of the central nervous system, in which the innervation of erogenous zones is impaired.

• Injuries or diseases of the brain, as a result of which sexual regulation is disturbed.

Organic frigidity can be congenital or acquired, and it is not an independent disorder, but a symptom that manifests the underlying disease.

• Lack of psychological intimacy with partner

• Traumatic Memories

   — often after an episode of infidelity of a spouse when sex is perceived as a reminder of his infidelity with another woman.
