Even though sex is an important part of healthy relationships, many women tend to avoid it. The point is that there are a lot of factors that can affect your desire to have sex. If you want to improve your sex life, you should know what exactly suppresses your libido. In this article, we have gathered eight reasons why a woman may not want to have sex.

1. You are stressed

Stress has become a routine part of life for many people. However, you should understand that prolonged exposure to stress can significantly affect your health, well-being, and sex drive. Indeed, it can be quite difficult to be in the mood if you have a lot of problems that should be solved as soon as possible. In this case, you need to cope with stress to bring sex back to your bedroom.

2. You are too tired

Modern women often load themselves with work, kids, household chores, and other tasks. If you have to do a lot of things day by day, it is not surprising that you may be too tired for sex. Try to share tasks with your partner and don't forget to make time for rest. 

3. You have lost an emotional connection with your partner

Unfortunately, love doesn't always last forever. But many people got used to their partners and continue to live together as roommates. If you don't want to spend your life like this, you can break up with your partner or try to improve the emotional connection with him or her. A romantic dinner or a weekend trip together can be a great opportunity to fall in love with your partner again.

4. You have recently become parents

Many women who have recently delivered a child don't have a desire to have sex. In many cases, they become extremely involved in parenting and simply don't pay attention to their partners. Indeed, if you don't want to have sex, no one should force you. But having a child doesn't mean that your partner doesn't need your attention anymore.

5. You experience pain during sex

Sexual dysfunction because of pain and discomfort during sex is a quite common issue for many women. But the problem is that many of them don't rush to a doctor and simply refuse to have sex. You should understand that pain during sex can be caused by various health issues like uterine fibroids, endometriosis, STDs, etc. Timely and professional treatment can help improve your sex life.

6. You have low self-esteem

People with low self-esteem often have sex-related problems. The point is that low self-esteem can make you think that you are not attractive or don't deserve to have sex. Many women who have gained or lost weight, have recently delivered a child, or have some health issues that affect their appearance don't accept the look of their bodies. You can exercise, meditate, practice yoga, and try other options to improve your self-esteem and learn how to love yourself.

7. You don't trust your partner

A lack of trust between partners can become a real problem. Indeed, if you don't trust your partner, suspect cheating, and don't want to share anything with him or her, it can be quite difficult to maintain a normal relationship and sex life. In this case, it is essential to have a sincere conversation with your partner to discuss all the issues that bother you.

8. You have had a negative sexual experience

Sexual assault and a negative experience can leave a serious footprint on your emotional attitude towards sex. But you should understand that avoiding sex is not an option. If your partner is loving, caring, and understanding, he or she may help you improve your sex life. Additionally, you can visit a psychologist to discuss your problems and find the solution.
