Equality in relationships is associated with greater relationship satisfaction, which in turn predicts higher sexual desire among women, according to a new study. The findings, published in The Journal of Sex Research, shed new light on the relational contexts that influence female sexual desire.

“Exploring the issue of female sexual desire is fascinating given its complexity and how neglected this area has been,” said Simone Buzwell, a senior lecturer at Swinburne University of Technology and corresponding author of the new study.

“I decided to explore the issue of low female sexual desire specifically as it is commonly reported in clinical settings and is strongly resistant to treatment. While a lack of desire is not an issue for all women, a lack of sexual desire does cause significant distress for a substantial number and their intimate partners. However, given the deficit of research in this area, the factors that contribute to low female sexual desire are not understood and how these factors impact women’s well-being has rarely been examined.”

The results highlight “that the low female sexual desire is likely to be a problem that both people in the relationship can solve together,” Buzwell told PsyPost. “It is not the ‘fault’ of one individual, and it would be useful to consider factors beyond the sexual realm that may be contributing to the problem.”

​

This leads to an important question, does sexual desire wanes due to women losing libido or the fact that men allow themselves to let go?

Perhaps a combination of both?

Also if this is the case, then perhaps men have an incentive to maintain such desire and thus keep the relationship fire burning in some capacity.
