Science has long paid a great deal of attention to the dire predicament of men losing their sex drive or their capacity to perform sexually. However, with taboos increasingly becoming irrelevant, greater focus is finally being invested in understanding women's sexual health. What has come to light in the past few decades are two things: First, low libido is more common in women than their male counterparts. And second, the reason for this is because the female libido is far more complicated than the male libido. Unlike in males, waning libidos in females are more difficult to diagnose. This is because of their ambiguous signals and because female sex drive is influenced by both physical and emotional factors.

The official name assigned to distressingly low libidos is Hypoactive Sexual Desire (HSD), and it invites much debate regarding females. Partially, this is because, unlike men, female sexual responses are not necessarily projected in physical forms. Whereas lack of arousal or sexual dysfunctions in men interfere with sexual performance (such impotence or premature ejaculation), females with low libidos are still capable of doing "it", even if physical signs of arousal, such as erect nipples or increased blood flow to the genitalia, lessen. But a dampened libido is rarely assumed by women to signify permanence. After all, attempting to quantify what constitutes a low sex drive is impossible as even a healthy drive fluctuates by the influence of external and internal factors.

Physiologically speaking, there are many processes that women’s bodies endure that males don't. This explains, at least partially, the differences between their overall sex drives, as well as why women's libidos are more likely to fluctuate more greatly than their more randy counterparts. Hormonal changes are one example. During menopause, estrogen levels drop affecting both the health of vaginal tissue as well as overall interest in sex due to a coinciding drop in testosterone. Also, pregnancy and post-childbirth are accompanied by hormonal changes. Compound that with the exhaustion and situational changes of those times, and sexual libido often suffers.

Similar to men, there are physical causes that can influence the sex drive in women. Illness or medical diseases impact libidos, particularly cancers that contribute to infertility which affects the psyche and physical desires of women. Anything that affects the physical health of females, such as poor eating habits, lack of sleep, obesity, anorexia, and lack of physical exercise share a correlation with decreased sexual drive. As is the case for low libido in men, medication, alcohol, and drugs all manipulate the proper functions of the body and hamper the sexual appetites.

But the problems do not have to be physical to be real. Many psychologists accuse the psychosexual of having the greatest influence on the libido of women. Among the psychological influences on low libido include depression, stress, relationship issues, and low self-esteem over body image. Psychosexual theory asserts that the female libido can be profoundly impacted by the past, such as a history of sexual abuse during childhood. Worse yet, the psychological can begin to influence the biological as anxieties towards sex are believed to be a key cause to vaginismus which causes the vagina to become tense by the involuntary contraction of surrounding muscles during intercourse.

The low libido in women is often understated because it is viewed as fluctuating and inconsistent, unlike males. To a degree, that is true. But it is rarely dealt with properly. More often, it is not discussed at all. Exactly like males though, the key remedy is a balance between the physical and the mental. For women, the emotional health is as essential to sexual health as physical health.

I'm going to a sex toy party at the end of the month at a girlfriend's house and have already been questioned if I'm going to get something and why do I need anything if I have the real thing...I am not replacing anyone with a battery operated toy! Why do men feel threatened by vibrators and dildos? Nothing to fear guys, if you're doing your thang and you're open about your desires, needs and wants you're good. You my friend have a healthy sex life. So what if she has a vibrator to keep her company when you're not around to scratch that itch? Don't you guys realise that the more sexual we are, the more YOU benefit from it??? Maybe somedays we don't want the foreplay and the kissing and groping that comes before the main course. Is it bad if we just want to go into straight unadulterated f***ing? Seems to me that guys feel threatened that the Bunny might make them look bad. Don't worry fellas, chances are when shes using her pocket rocket shes actually thinking of you and will be revved to f**k your brains out rock your world. So should naughty goods be more helpful then harmful to a relationship? I would think so. That naughty, sensuality that a woman might feel may open her up to explore herself other sexual sides that she didn't even know existed. An excellent example was written by yet another favourite blogger max-logic where she talks about anal sex being the new thing the cool girls are doing. *jots down anal beads on shopping list and lots and lots of KY* Maybe I should do my research before going to this party.

Ok this is a reocurring problem in my relationship, it doesn't help that I'm alot more into online networking then he is. I think I may have used His name once (or twice?) in my blog so far because I know he doesn't really like to be put out there...BUT! he also doesnt like to be kept in the attic! So He, Him, Us...blah blah blah...are all refering to me and...well...HIM! Why are men threatened by online friends?? Same reason women are!!! Insecurities. Yup, thats it. there is that fear that you will find yourself in some whirlwind cyber romance, that you will find someone more interesting perhaps. Some guys just dont like their shit exposed for others to read, they feel uncomfortable with people knowing stuff about them that they aren't even aware of. I believe that once you reach a certain point of maturity in your relationship you're cool with it and you feel secure enough that even though the skinny bitch/washboard stomach guy is on your significant other's networks that you have NOTHING to be worried about! I dont consider myself a 'Blogger' by any means, I write here to vent or to just have a 10 minute escape from whatever bullshit I'm doing, but I really liked this video of a few husbands that have mommy bloggers as wives. Mom bloggers just put EVERYTHING out there! They blog about family life and its not always pretty! Here is the video and I will try and get written and notarised permission to post up a picture of Him *side eye*.

Ok I had to come back and edit this part here to remove the video  because I couldnt get the auto play to stop. So instead of posting the video I will provide you with the link. If you are a blogger and you and your husband/partner/bf/ him whatever you want to call him, have had problems because of it take a peek.

Day #5:

I want a house. MY own house where I can raise my family. I have never been too big on the whole house with white picket fence dreams but I think I'm gettin to that point in my life that I do want that. I want a place where my kids can grow, somewhere where we can bring our grandkids to once my girls are older. I feel like I should already be in a place of my own so this is on the ASAP list.
