Not necessarily, although having an open and honest conversation in the bedroom with your partner may help. FSAD can occur for a variety of reasons, including psychological, hormonal, anatomical, and medication-related causes.
Vibrators can help enhance sexual pleasure and can stimulate orgasm. In a recent research study, researchers found that vibrators can also be good for your health, as they can improve pelvic floor muscle strength, improve incontinence, and facilitate treatment of vulvodynia. Vibrators can be used in combination with other resources, like Erotica stories in the Rosy app, and medications, to enhance sexual pleasure and desire.
The Female Sexual Function Index, or the FSFI, is a self-report survey that is used to assess sexual function. Results from the FSFI will help your provider measure your sexual health.
