1. Nutrition: Nutrition is the material foundation of sexual activity. Malnutrition can cause amenorrhea in women. The research results indicate that the lack of important trace elements such as protein and zinc can lead to decreased sexual function. Adequate and complete nutrition, especially eating foods containing high-quality protein, multiple vitamins, and zinc, can maintain normal levels of sexual function. However, it should also be noted that overnutrition will lead to obesity, while severe obesity is prone to hypoesthesia.
2. Emotions: When a person is in a bad mood, their sexual sensitivity is easily temporarily reduced, especially in severe states such as extreme sadness, terror, indignation, sadness, depression, and despair. Sexual sensitivity can be significantly affected and even completely lost. As the negative emotions subside, the sensation will also recover, but generally speaking, the recovery time is slower than the disappearance of the negative emotions.
3. Addiction to smoking and alcohol: Women who drink excessively are prone to sexual dysfunction, reduced secretion, causing pain and lack of comfort, leading to a decrease in sexual sensitivity. But the effects of smoking and alcohol on sexual function are reversible, and most people's sexual function can gradually return to normal levels after quitting smoking and alcohol.
4. Medications: Long term or excessive use of certain medications can lead to decreased sexual function and even cause female sexual apathy. There are many types of drugs that affect sexual function. Among them, the main and common ones are: reserpine, Rauwolfu, propranolol, chlorpromazine, ibuprofen, and some anticancer drugs. After receiving radiation therapy for a long period of time, it can also lead to a decrease in sexual desire.
5. Living conditions: Living in a disorganized, poorly ventilated, and overcrowded environment can not only cause poor mood, but also lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain due to insufficient fresh air indoors, affecting sexual function and reducing sexual appeal. Especially when several generations live in the same room or sleep in the same bed with their children, it can cause invisible pressure and easily lead to decreased sexual sensitivity. When living conditions improve, this decline will quickly return to normal.
6. Age: This is an important factor affecting sexual sensitivity. Women's sexual appeal only reaches its peak at the age of 30-40 and gradually decreases after menopause. A considerable number of young women do not have strong demands for sexual life itself, and even lack initiative. This is not surprising, as their sexual appeal needs to be awakened by their husbands.
7. Seasons and Temperatures: In the winter and spring seasons with low temperatures, most people have strong sexual desire, especially in spring, which is known as the courtship season. However, in the sweaty summer, sexual appeal often temporarily weakens. Some women's sexual sensitivity is closely related to their menstrual cycle, often increasing a few days before the onset of menstruation, while others become stronger around a week after the onset of menstruation.
8. Inducing factors and sexual history: Sexuality is actually a conditioned reflex, and in addition to internal reasons, external stimuli are also important.
9. Emotion: The relationship between marital emotions and sexual sensations is very close and quite subtle. This is not surprising, because unlike other animals, the generation of sexual desire is not simply a biological instinct, but is often triggered by love.
Therefore, there are obstacles in the relationship between couples, especially when it reaches the level of rupture, leading to mutual aversion and a decrease in sexual desire. Moreover, some couples may appear calm and never argue, but they may not trust each other and harbor mutual suspicion. This seemingly detached couple can also experience a decrease in their sense of sexiness due to their bad mood. So, the harmony of sexual life between couples stems from the emotional harmony between them.
10. Health status: The impact of health status on sexual arousal is both important and complex, as only physically and mentally healthy individuals can maintain normal sexual arousal for a long time. However, there are indeed some patients with severe illnesses who maintain strong sexual sensitivity just like healthy individuals. So, for this issue, different situations should be distinguished and analyzed specifically.
Our sexual function is easily weakened when we are extremely tired or in a chronic fatigue state for a long time. At the same time, prolonged mental stress or various psychological disorders, even when in a psychologically unhealthy state, can also affect sexual function. We should overcome the above factors, so that sexual function will recover quickly.
