What Factors Are Associated with Sexual Desire?
When it comes to the topic of sexual desire, many women feel embarrassed to discuss it. However, sexual desire is a normal physiological reaction that occurs in every individual. The intensity of sexual desire can vary among women at different ages, with middle-aged women often experiencing a higher level of sexual desire compared to younger women. In the following article, we will summarize several factors that can affect sexual desire.
We have studied the individual differences in the structure and physiology of all animal and plant species. Therefore, we believe that some individual differences in human sexual behavior may also originate from the physiological capabilities produced by biological structures related to sexual response, which vary greatly between individuals. For example, some women can reach orgasm quickly within seconds of receiving stimulation. Some women have the ability to repeatedly reach orgasm in a short period of time. However, most other women, even after training, analyzing childhood experiences, or undergoing any other type of psychological treatment, may not be able to acquire such abilities. Similarly, we have reason to believe that at least some women with slower sexual responses may not be able to physiologically achieve the rapid response capabilities of other women, despite trying various methods. Unfortunately, our understanding of the anatomical and physiological bases of sexual response is still limited, and we are unable to fully explain the exact sources of these individual differences.
Although the incidence and frequency of marital intercourse and female orgasm peak in the early stages of marriage and decline continuously after long-term marriage, the percentage of women who reach orgasm during sexual intercourse is actually the lowest when they are youngest. As women age, this percentage continues to increase. Of course, our research scope only covers women under 60 years old, so we are unable to analyze older women.
Women with different levels of education have basically the same cumulative incidence and frequency of marital intercourse. However, we have also found that if we examine the number of women who have reached orgasm within a five-year period, there are significantly more women with higher education levels who have achieved this compared to those with lower education levels. The differences between women with different education levels are even greater when considering the percentage of orgasms achieved during sexual intercourse. In any given year from the first to the fifteenth year of marriage, a significant number of women with less education are unable to reach orgasm during marital intercourse, while the proportion of women with higher education who are unable to do so is much lower.
