Sexual aversion is currently one of the more difficult sexual functional diseases to treat. So what is sexual aversion and why do women develop it?
What is sexual aversion
Sexual aversion refers to a persistent state of disgust towards sexual activity or consciousness. It manifests as fear and anxiety towards sex, and generates boredom. Patients are psychologically averse to normal sexual behavior, accompanied by abnormal physiological and sexual responses; Both men and women can suffer from the disease, with women being the majority. The disease is often situational and may occur at specific times, places, and environments. This pathological aversion reaction manifests as sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or palpitations throughout the body; Some people may have a sense of disgust, but there is no obvious response as mentioned above. Generally speaking, sexual aversion often manifests as frigidity and rejection of heterosexual contact. During sexual intercourse, not only is there no orgasm, but there is no response or feeling cold, fear, or disgust, and different ways of resistance are adopted.
Sexual aversion is often associated with developmental issues during adolescence, such as poor physical condition or lack of self-confidence. Another reason is that there is a history of sexual trauma in childhood or adolescence, which forms the experience of "trauma learning", linking sex with being abused or in pain, leading to the emergence of sexual aversion. Due to this physical and mental trauma, it creates a prejudice that leads to resistance towards normal sexual activity.
The reasons why girls develop sexual aversion
1. The woman only regards sexual activity as her wife's obligation, rather than a physiological and psychological need like eating; If combined with a lack of sexual knowledge, resulting in insufficient sexual skills, monotonous methods, and even obstacles to orgasm, sexual activity will be devoid of fun.
2. Some abnormalities in body shape during adolescence are afraid of being known and can lead to a sense of inferiority.
3. After falling in love or marriage fails, they think they have been deceived, and even form a retaliatory mentality towards men.
4. Worry about the possible pain caused by pregnancy, curettage, sexually transmitted diseases, etc., in order to avoid sexual contact.
5. Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse makes them afraid of sexual activity.
How to treat sexual aversion
Firstly, scientific sex education should be provided to patients with sexual aversion. Promote the significance and benefits of sex to them, freeing patients from distorted sexual attitudes and consciousness.
Secondly, appropriate use of behavioral therapy should be made. Some patients with sexual aversion are often accompanied by a lack of sexual appeal, which leads to a vicious cycle of sexual aversion. Behavioral therapy can often be effective in this regard.
Finally, it is important to help patients uncover the psychological root causes of sexual aversion. In this regard, the method of free association can be used to explore the suppressed subconscious and also play a therapeutic role.
