Why You Don't Have To Put Up With Female Sexual Dysfunction

It doesn't take a panel of sex experts and doctors to tell you that women often have a harder time than men getting the most out of sex.

For reasons which are a complex mix of social, cultural and just plain biology, female dysfunction is far from unusual, in fact, sadly, it takes until a woman is 34 for her to reach her sexual peak, whereas a guy reaches his when he is half her age, at 17! The end result is that up to 46% of women experience some degree of sexual dysfunction at some point in their lives.

Fortunately, us ladies don't have to put with female sexual dysfunction - armed with an attentive lover, patience and a little help, we too can expect to reach the heady climaxes we instinctively know are there, but just find it oh so difficult to reach.

Types Of Female Dysfunction

Female dysfunction comes in several forms;

Lack of Desire,
When a woman has little no interest in sex at all.
Arousal Problems
When a woman has initial interest, but can't get worked up into a state where she is enjoying sex.
Non-orgasmic
A woman may be able to be aroused, but will not "tip over" into an orgasmic state.
Dyspareunia or Vaginismus
When a woman experiences pain during sex.

While it is important to check that there are no underlying physical problems causing dyspareunia or vaginismus, it is often the case that instances of female dysfunction, whatever the type are the result of a mixture of bad experiences, stress, tiredness and an impatient partner. This may be aggravated by a sluggish hormonal system producing lower than normal levels of testosterone, the hormone chiefly responsible for our sex drive.

Options For Treating Female Dysfunction

10 years ago, the best advice being offered us was to get a therapist, talk our partner into giving us a little more time, or failing that, to go out and buy a vibrator. It wasn't exactly bad advice, but it still didn't address the problem of not having a very big sex drive in the first place.

Fortunately, the world has moved on - men have gotten their own "sex drug" in the form of Viagra and its derivatives, and the race has been on the provide an equivalent for women with low libido. Proctor & Gamble are poised to release their female testosterone patch, but the FDA has slowed things down while it examines its possible long-term side effects.

The FDA do well to be cautious on our behalf. Even though as women, we make make small quantities of testosterone, naturally in our own bodies, it is essentially a "male" hormone, producing male secondary sexual characteristics. I spent enough time around drug-taking female body-builders during the '90s to witness the often very scary effects of taken just minute quantities of extra testosterone - yes; increased sex drive, but also beard-like facial hair, hair loss, swollen clitoris, aggressiveness and vocal chord thickening (the last of which was irreversible, producing a male voice tone). If we're going to use synthetic testosterone, the drug companies need to get it absolutely right first.

So What Do Women Have To Help End Female Dysfunction Right Now?

In addition to the plethora of sexual aids and guides that exist there are also a range of non-prescription herbal preparations, supplements and creams designed specifically to enhance female sex drive and/or sensitivity. These are of varying effectiveness, with the best being the result of modern applications of traditional Chinese herbal medicine or homeopathy, while others amount to little more than over-priced lubricating creams.

While even the most effective product currently available for women isn't as "sure-fire" as Viagra is for men, they still offer an enormous degree of improvement for those women who thought they'd never be able to enjoy the intimacy and sensations of a full sex life again. And just as important, there are no niggling side effects to worry about.

We've included details of the best natural female sex enhancers below, including both oral and topical enhancers.

Oral Female Libido Enhancers

Oral libidio enhancers are tablets or capsules taken on a daily basis regardless of sexual activity. They are designed to eliminate sexual problems and female dysfunction by regulating the problems which cause them. This includes the regulation of testosterone production. Such tablets don't actually contain testosterone, but they will encourage your body to make its own, as well as encouraging you to relax more whilst lovemaking. It may take several weeks before you start seeing the benefits of these medications, and for this reason you want to consider using a topical enhancers, which will help improve sensation while you are waiting for your oral preparation to "kick in".

While it is possible to find several of Provestra's ingredients on the market separately, we haven't been able to find a product which brings all of these together for an all-round assault (physical and psychological) on the problem of sexual dysfunction.

Topical Female Libido Enhancers

Topical enhancers are creams or lotions which are applied around your clitoris and labia before or during love-making in order to increase sensation. They usually have a warming and/or vaso-dilatory effect - that is to say, they encourage blood flow into the area, which in turn makes you feel, and continue to feel turned on. While they are fast-acting, they do not address the root cause of your problems in the same way as oral libido enhancers can.
