After talking about the introduction to some of the common sex problems in women in chapter 1 and about diagnosis of female sexual problems in chapter 2, in chapter 3 Dr. Sarita Naik talks about Sexual Desire and Arousal in Women.
Discussions about ‘libido’ are mostly frowned upon. Talking about ‘libido’ or the ‘desire for sex’ is considered a taboo tagging it as ‘improper or unacceptable.’ Most societies still consider it an implied responsibility to define and instruct certain behaviors as ‘accepted and/or unaccepted’ for a woman. There is a significant difference in how libido is perceived in men and women. Libido in women is often dismissed as ‘non-existent’ or ‘unimportant’, and hence quite often women are hesitant to express their sexual desires or lack of sexual desires fearing the societal notions.
In this video Dr. Naik emphasizes that ‘the first step in a fulfilling sexual relationship is to acknowledge the sexual desire’. She talks about acknowledging the sexual desire, fluctuating hormone levels during menstrual cycle and their influence on female libido.
