Sexual Difficulties for the female
It is important to consult with a doctor or other medical advisor when experiencing sexual problems of a physical nature. Each symptom carries a numerical indicator between '1' and '5' (where '1' is lowest) of the likelihood of the cause being a physical problem.

- Lack of sexual desire: This is the most common difficulty for females, in which there is no great interest in sexual activity (3)
- Anorgasmia: Another common problem, the inability to achieve orgasm either during intercourse or masturbation (3)
- Intercourse Anorgasmia: Orgasm can be easily achieved via masturbation but not through sexual intercourse (1)
- Vaginismus: An involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles, making penetration either impossible or extremely painful (1)
- Penetration Anxiety: This will often result in Vaginismus, in which fear is usually very noticeable (2)
- Vaginal Dryness: In mature women (35+) this is often due to a physical condition; in younger women, though, it is possible that it is purely a psychological problem (4)
- Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome: More commonly known as Nymphomania this is a distressing condition where there is a continuous 'state of readiness' with an inability to achieve release via orgasm, even when orgasm can be achieved. (1)
- Post-coital nausea: The onset of nausea almost immediately after intercourse (1)
- Hyper-orgasmia: Orgasm can occur frequently, often repeatedly, with little or no physical stimulation (1)
- Dyspareunia: Genital pain during sexual intercourse (4)
- Sexual Aversion Disorder: A pathological aversion to any form of sexual activity; in severe cases, great anger can be triggered if there are attempts to force the issue (1)
The above is not an exhaustive list of sexual disorders; this is essentially a self-help site covering only those situations which are most frequently encountered. It is important to note that, irrespective of the 'physical problem indicator', almost any of the above difficulties for the female be of physical origin.
