Relationship Issues
Lastly, the effects of being in a relationship, as well as lingering influences from past relationships, can play a role in hypoactive sexual drive in women. Furthermore, for most women, intimacy is linked to sexual desire, and most women want to feel safe and secure before having sex.
Any of the following scenarios will have an impact on a woman’s sexual desire:
• There is a lack of connection to one’s sexual partner
• There are unresolved conflicts or frequent arguments
• There is poor communication about one’s sexual needs, wants, and preferences
• There is a lack of trust or security
Consider the quality of the relationships you have with sexual partners. Past issues that stemmed from relationships, along with any present tension, could be causing your lack of desire. Communication is key in any relationship, so if you feel that this could be the cause, why not try talking to your partner? If you cannot do that, perhaps you should consider whether the relationship is healthy or not.
