The concept of frigidity, which applies to women, is fortunately more and more into disuse. Because clearly has pejorative connotations. But still used.
In some textbooks it says that now is referred to as' Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder or TDS, and is considered a sexual dysfunction, but this is not entirely accurate.
It says there are similarities with disorders such as dyspareunia-painful intercourse-anorgasmia, inability to obtain orgasm, or anaphrodisia-absence of sexual desire-which adds to the confusion over the meaning of the concept of frigidity. But in fact what happens is that the concept of frigidity that is going unused. The way that came to apply, means the absence of any capacity, arousal or sensation of pleasure in sex, often even to try masturbation. This disorder exists, but only very rare but can affect equally to women and men. Now associated more with the lack of pleasure, but it is clear that we must stop using it not to grow more this confusion.
From all this 'semantic movement' reveal a conclusion. There are many concepts applied to alleged sexual disorders in women, and perhaps too many. Let's stay far with this 'too many', because it is a track that leads to vision sexist, patriarchal and dominant over women that has been exercised for decades by the 'collective' men, including of course health professionals, Science and medicine.
Fortunately science is advancing more or less objective criteria, and we now know that many of these conditions applied to women are not as well defined as intended, and that psychology, education and culture have influenced the enough weight to have to reposition them.
Nor should we have studied logic to understand that without prior desire, however unconscious or fantasy, it is doubtful that there is sexual pleasure. So the existence of the alleged anaphrodisia disorders, anorgasmia, dyspareunia and even blurred frigidity is too conditioned to the presence or absence of desire, and need therefore, as I said, be overridden or recombined in a more sober and objective .
Pending this redefinition, I think it is dangerous to use numbers or statistics in studies of such disorders, or enter distinguish whether they are primary or secondary, or if they are organic or behavior, because all they will do is prolong the belief exist as such, which, also in my opinion, is questionable today.
Sexual desire, then, or whether their presence or decrease, could be the real key factor to explain and simplify the alleged excessive sexual disorders in women. Especially considering something very different nature of the male female psychosexual, as is a need to erotic stimuli, sensory, environmental, and emotional mood more than men, which can often suffice with a simple physical stimulation focused on the genitals. This increased 'complexity' of female sexuality has been seen before by men as a problem, and has fallen into the temptation of pathologizing.
The conventional wisdom a few years ago that created a phrase to illustrate this paradigm shift, "women are not frigid, but inexperienced men." Well, to be more objective, I would add "and women with sex education, physical and sensory inadequate." And also many women have their share of responsibility, to consciously choose to follow the patriarchal model and adopting male psychosexual roles liabilities in exchange for material security is likely, or the promise of such security-for themselves and their children. In a more concrete level, eg, is common following behavior: since the female sex drive needs a wider variety of stimuli in man, it is easy in the course of cohabitation or marriage decline, and because this many women choose to endure, with little desire or arousal, the requirement or need for sex from male partners, reaching want or encourage him to finish to complete intercourse soon as possible.
If a man also be pressured to excite or accused of alleged problems such as frigidity, this can inhibit even there the low sexual desire that is left to him. This example is unfortunately still very common, does not speak well of the intelligence and sensitivity mean men, but neither of average intelligence and self-esteem of women. Unfortunately too, speaks of the survival of the stupid need to fight for power in the couple, something that keeps us humans evolutionarily still too close to some of our 'relatives' primates.
