The most common sexual dysfunction among women; is sexual aversion. However, the rate of applying to a sexual therapist with complaints of sexual reluctance is low. The reason is the myths about sexuality. In our culture, while sexuality is peculiar to men, men have the right to want sex, to enjoy it and to reach satisfaction; sexuality is a field of duty for women. Many women perceive this as a natural state and live in this way. However, the natural thing is that sexuality is a means of "pleasure" and "satisfaction" for women, and that women also need it. It is common in conservative societies and cultures where sexuality is prohibited. As a natural result of sexual prohibitions and pressures, feelings of guilt and guilt about sexuality, suppression of sexual instincts gradually lead to the alienation of the individual from sexuality and even from his own body. The reason for this is that men apply with the complaint of loss of erection, whereas most often, loss of erection is due to a decrease in sexual interest and desire. Another reason for the lack of applicants is the sexual myth that “men are always ready for sexuality under all conditions” and this myth prevents men from seeking help.
There is no value or number that determines the level of sexual desire. The important thing is that the frequency of the couple's desire for sex is close.
