Here is the third post on lack of desire for physical
intimacy focusing on busyness, stress, and anxiety:
Busyness, stress, and anxiety:
Some women
might simply feel that they have too much to do. With all the pressures and
stresses on their mind they might feel like they don’t have enough time to
relax and be physically intimate. Or less they might not be able to handle the
emotional pressure of being physically intimate while also addressing all the
stressor's in their life.
Personal
Example:
Macey
has a very busy lifestyle. She is going to school and taking nineteen credits.
She is always working part time, and is pregnant with their first child. She
gets stressed when household responsibilities aren’t done, and wishes she had
more time to spend cleaning, and cooking for her husband. She reverts to
avoiding physical intimacy because she simply feels like she doesn’t have time.
What
research has found:
According to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation,
about one in every four married or cohabitating Americans claim they're so
sleep-deprived that they're often too tired to have sex. Many women are
satisfied with their relationships and enjoy physical intimacy once it is under
way but are just too tired, stressed, or busy to feel sexual desire.
What you can do:
There are a couple of ways to help you get back on track. It
is important to get a regular sleep schedule. Try sticking to a regular
bedtime, and devote the last hour or so of your waking time to your spouse.
Even if you do nothing more than cuddle, you're setting a schedule that allows
time for more when you're ready. Eventually, your mood will follow. Another tip
is to make your arousal pattern work with your schedule and that of your spouse
so you can enjoy physical intimacy. That might mean being intimate during the
morning, or even during lunch time. You have to find what works best for you
and your spouse.
