Patient's question:
I've been with my girlfriend for four years now, and during this time we've been living together. However, she has always lacked interest in sex and has never initiated any intimacy. I think it might be due to asexuality. What are the causes of asexuality?Doctor's answer:
Sexual apathy refers to a lack of sexual desire, meaning no interest in sexual activity, which is essentially a decrease in libido. It can be caused by psychological factors, illnesses, or excessive fatigue, among other reasons. Of course, it's also possible that your girlfriend is a conservative type who disapproves of premarital sexual activity. Female sexual apathy is often related to multiple pathological factors, such as changes in hormone levels, inflammation, or other issues like fatigue and staying up late.
