Bodily symptom of stress: frigidity and loss of sex desire BODILY SYMPTOM OF STRESS: FRIGIDITY AND LOSS OF SEX DESIRE
Frigidity
«I just can't make it. I try and try, but I can't. It used to come so easily. Our sex together used to be one of the happiest parts of our life. Natural. I've lost something. Something within me, and I've lost it. Try and try. Sweat and sweat. Then try to pretend it has come. Hopeless. Restless. Can't sleep. Sometimes cry. »
Stress increases our level of anxiety. Anxiety prepares us to act. In preparing us to act, our anxiety inhibits those functions of our body which are not required for the immediate situation demanding that we fight or run away. It can be seen that this reaction would be biologically to our advantage in some acute crisis. Then when the stress of the crisis is passed, anxiety subsides, and normal bodily function returns. If, however, the stress continues, and anxiety becomes chronic, our bodily functions may remain disordered.
Of course an underlying fear of pregnancy or loss of love for one's partner may add to the effect of stress. In cases that are not complicated by these factors, the frigidity often responds quite dramatically to the relief of the stress by relaxing meditation. In it there is not only the reduction of the inhibiting effect of the underlying anxiety, but the patient is also helped by the letting go which is experienced in relaxing meditation. A letting go, not only of the muscles, but also of the mind, and in fact a letting go of one's whole being. This kind of experience helps free the nervous connections for the letting go of orgasm.
Loss of sex desire
«Used to look forward to sex. It was a great part of our lives together. Now just don't seem to care. Not opposed to it. Just disinterested. Couldn't care less. A kind of thing you do. That's about all there is to it. Loss of desire. »
It is not uncommon for both men and women to talk like this. When we come under chronic stress, the underlying anxiety inhibits the free flow of our emotions. The person under chronic stress is not easily aroused to happiness, joy or laughter. In the same way both men and women are not so easily aroused in sexual desire.
