If You Are a Woman and Your Sex Drive is Stuck in Low Gear, There May Be Physical Reasons

By Christina | June 4, 2009

As a forty plus year old woman of three children I have been through the highs and lows, waxes and wanes of sexual desire.  There are times when there is nothing I would rather do than romp between the sheets and than there are others when a root canal sounds oh so much more appealing!

Here are some physical body reasons for what may be happening in your body:

  1. Painful intercourse or lack of orgasms may be one reason sex is low on your list of things to do; especially if American Idol is on
  2. There are many non sexual diseases that can interfre with the libido - arthritis, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary disease - is it me or does it seem there are a lot of diseases that kill drive?
  3. Medications - Anti-depressants, blood pressure medication, chemotherapy medicine and more also block the desire for sex.
  4. Alcohol - It seemed like a good idea to drink a pint of vodka before your spouse came home but suddenly that sexy buzz has turned into slurred vision and a blackout!
  5. Fatigue - Yes, sometimes you are just too darned tired! Rest up and try again!
