JANE: Why is Female Sexual Dysfunction so common if female orgasm is supposed to be the norm? JANE (cont): One of the diagnostic criteria for FSD (female sexual dysfunction) is feeling distressed. But what causes the distress? Is it the condition itself, or is it what you think is expected of you and in turn, what you start expecting of yourself? (Andrea Burri) Jamuna : The distress associated with female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is complex and often stems from a combination of internal and external factors. Jamuna (cont): As Andrea Burri suggests, women may feel distressed not solely because of the symptoms (such as lack of desire, arousal issues, or pain) but because of the perceived failure to meet what partners, society, or even they themselves believe is normal or desirable. Jamuna (cont): This selfimposed pressure can amplify feelings of inadequacy and frustration, making FSD a deeply psychological and socially influenced one. JANE: I have found orgasm only occurs alone. It is impossible with a lover due to a lack of arousal. The erotic turnons all apply to the penetrating male. This is why, even for men, it is only the penetrating male who pays for sex. Male sex drive makes regular intercourse vital to men. JANE (cont): But recent consent laws make it clear that the receiver does not enjoy the same erotic pleasure that a man does. Women talk of emotional factors and feeling obligated. This does not equate to the sex drive that men experience. An interesting & fun way to learn about sexuality for all
