Depression:
For some women
depression might be the reason for the lack of desire for physical intimacy.
Depression can affect many areas in your life, especially physical intimacy.
Personal Example:
Brittany suffers from depression. This
affects her and her husband’s sexual life. There are a lot of times where she
is too down to get in the mood. She reverts to avoiding physical intimacy.
What research has found:
Think of the brain as
a highly sensitive sex organ. Sexual desire starts in the brain and works its
way down. That's because of special brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters.
These chemicals increase communication between brain cells and trigger more
blood flow to the sex organs. The problem is, with depression and other mood
disorders, these brain chemicals are imbalanced.
What you can do:
Here is a tip: Even if
you don’t feel like full-on sex, do make the effort to have a cuddle. If you
are worried that cuddling will project you into full sex when you don’t want
it, just tell your partner that you’re not feeling like having sex, but that
you would really like to cuddle up. If you do this, you may both feel a lot
better. Touch and closeness can keep a relationship intact. Another suggestion
might be to talk to your doctor so that you can get things on balance.
