The origin of the word frigidity begins with the Latin frigidus, which means "cold". This disease is considered a very serious problem. According to various studies, some degrees of frigidity can be observed in 40% of the beautiful half of humanity.
The manifestations of frigidity may be different. Some women experience discomfort during sexual intercourse, so they avoid it. And some women may experience more or less pleasant sensations, but there are no orgasmic impulses. Frigidity can also be either constant or periodic.
There are manifestations of frigidity, when a woman likes flirting with men, she wants to like, and at the same time she is absolutely indifferent to sexual contacts.
Married women, suffering from sexual coldness, most often experience moral satisfaction from intimacy with the spouse, and the fact that they can deliver a beloved pleasure. However, physical manifestations of sexual intimacy (hugs, caresses, kisses) leave them almost indifferent. These women are more or less lacking erotic dreams, and they do not have the need for masturbation.
Determine the diagnosis of frigidity can only be a qualified specialist-sexologist. First of all, for this purpose a woman needs to undergo a special examination. The initial stage will be to identify the cause of the problem. It is necessary to consult everything else for such specialists as a gynecologist, endocrinologist, etc. This makes it possible to exclude the causes associated with physiology.

Probable causes of frigidity
The most frequent cases of sexual coldness (frigidity) appear as a result of a complex of causes that are divided into mental, somatic and microsocial.
Quite often this disease can accompany psychopathy, depression and endogenous psychosis. Frigidity is affected by women who are prone to excessive suspiciousness, indecision, shyness and who fix their attention on negative emotions.
Common causes of frigidity are mental trauma, which can be obtained as a result of attempted rape, or painful defloration. In addition, a woman may be afraid of publicity, or the possibility of unwanted pregnancy.
If a woman does not experience orgasm, she can pay too much attention to this, which can also be the cause of frigidity. However, orgasm often does not occur due to the blocking of nerve impulses. Such an impulse in the case of excitation should go to the right part of the brain, which is the reason for the contraction of muscles - orgasm.
Because of constant experiences and fears, some cases are characterized by a "closure", which helps to break this momentum.
Physiological causes can occur in cases of neurohumoral disorders. It can be dysfunction of the ovaries, androgen deficiency, or damage to the deep structures of the brain. A fairly common cause of frigidity are gynecological and venereal diseases.
Postinfectious asthenia, beriberi, or severe physical and mental fatigue can also affect the temporary weakening or lack of sexual desire and, as a result, frigidity. Also, the cause can be in various segmental lesions of the nervous system.
Fix a number of cases in which frigidity appears due to abnormalities in the development of genital organs, and gynecological diseases associated with inflammatory processes.
One of the most common causes of woman's frigidity is sexual illiteracy, as well as laziness or inexperience of a partner. There are often cases when men do not know how to excite a woman so that she is ready for intercourse. Either they have no desire to do it properly.
Education is an important factor. To ensure that the girl has correctly formed sexuality, in the first three years of her life you need to give her maximum attention and affection. In addition, education can be too strict. Such pupils grow squeezed and shy.
