Ths.BS Pham Minh Ngoc – Deputy Director of Center for Sex Medicine (Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility) said that in the past, most Asian women often expressed their sexual desire in a similar way. If you are gentle and discreet, today many women are more active in “love”.
However, there are some cases where women are too active in “sex” sometimes not because of physiology but due to pathology, needing timely intervention.
Minh Huong (30 years old, in Hai Phong) has a 4-year-old daughter, recently suddenly has a very high sex drive. She shared, a night can have sex 2-3 times and still have a hot body. Even on weekends, she sends her children to her grandmother so that the couple can be free, the peak day even “acts” up to 5 times.
With such frequency, Huong’s husband is overloaded, and every weekend he uses the excuse to go on a business trip or to meet friends and partners to “avoid” his wife. However, the evening might not be avoided, so he had to bite his teeth to “pay the cards”.
Depending on the case of increased libido, doctors can advise whether treatment is needed or not. (Illustration)
Grasping her husband’s psychology, Huong frankly shared and expressed that she did not understand why she was changed like that. When her husband advised her to go to the doctor, Huong agreed to go to Hanoi for a checkup. The results showed that this mother-of-one has high levels of the hormone testosterone, which is also the cause of her abnormal increase in libido.
Unlike the above case, a 22-year-old female student in Hanoi was once hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital because of her high sexual desire.
According to doctors from the Institute of Mental Health (Bach Mai Hospital), this female student changes her lover like a shirt, even loving 2-3 people at a time just to satisfy her sexual needs.
She can have sex dozens of times a day. At first, the boyfriends tried to “pay back” but following a while they were all afraid and “ran away from their possessions and ran for people.” When the family knew regarding it and consulted a doctor, the female student was taken to the hospital for examination. was then diagnosed with a form of mental disorder that required long-term treatment.
The fact that women take the initiative in “love affairs” has many influencing factors, which may be just normal physiological, but sometimes due to pathology. (Illustration)
Doctor Pham Minh Ngoc said that women’s initiative in sex and increased sexual desire depends on many factors such as age, hormone levels, regional factors, or sometimes sex. some medical condition.
Usually, the phenomenon of women suddenly increasing their libido and being active in sex is mainly related to the following 3 factors:
– Women with status and income often take the initiative in “love”: Women with high status, financial and economic (rich) can also take the initiative in relationships. Then the male partner can accept to give up the initiative to the sisters, this is also a good thing for them (man) to focus on feeling and enjoying in each “love”.
– Some countries and regions have a higher percentage of women than men (for example, in Latvia, the number of women exceeds the number of men by 160,000). At that time, the strategy of finding a mate was reversed. Women are the ones who actively seek and take the initiative in sex to get a good genetic source and find the right guy.
– Some women with high testosterone levels, with manifestations such as hirsutism, increased libido, may be more active in “love”…
As can be seen, it is completely normal for women to take the initiative in love, not always an abnormal expression.
As for how much sex is reasonable, Dr. Ngoc said, there is no specific research at this time because this depends on many factors. Some studies show that the average frequency of sex for a couple under 35 years old is regarding 2-3 times/week. With age, the frequency of intercourse can be less and less, and by 40-50 years old, it will be reduced to 1-2 times / month. This is normal with the physiological level of the sexes and ensures harmony.
“Some people ask for sex more than a dozen times (or even a few dozen times) a day and still are not satisfied, others have too high a sexual need, always thinking regarding “sex” leading to psychological stress. Loss of concentration in work and daily life.
These cases may have sexual desire disorder. This is a form of mental disorder, so it needs to be examined and treated early,” said Dr. Ngoc.
