Have you noticed an uptick in your lady's nervous habits? Do you find that she's flying off the handle about the little things? Can't seem to spark up the same interest she used to have in your favorite hobbies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, it might be time to reflect on the last time you shared the intimacy, connection, and confidence boost that comes from getting hot and heavy between the sheets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you and your partner are on different wavelengths, knowing the signs of a sexually starved woman is a valuable skill for helping your partner overcome a recent dry spell.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Sexual Starvation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sexual starvation is the difference between one's desired and achieved level of sexual activity. Known by other names like sexual frustration and sexual deprivation, it can happen to married and single women. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It could result from being unable to reach an orgasm, staying for a long time without sex, and losing libido due to trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, the standard narrative was that women struggled to keep up with men's all-encompassing libido. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, most women have a story about a sexually aggressive alpha male on Tinder who sends us pictures that his mama would be ashamed of, but very few men can say they've gotten the same from a random lady. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, women get sexually starved, but it often manifests itself through external emotional responses. They may develop self-doubt and become hypersensitive, depressed, and anxious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11 Signs Of A Sexually Starved Woman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are 11 signs of a sexually starved woman you should be on the look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. She Talks About Sex All The Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the modern world is more open about sexual matters, finding a woman constantly talking about sex is a telltale sign that she's sexually starved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She may have found a potential catch and doesn't want to keep them guessing, so she goes straight to the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If she's a bit shy, she might send mixed signals or remind you about sexual experiences you had together. When all conversational roads lead right back to lovin', touchin', and squeezin', is a strong cue, she wants sex and wants it now! Don't waste time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. She Feels Unattractive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is she constantly feeling like her confidence at work and at home could use a boost? Head to the bedroom. Good sex goes a long way in making a woman feel confident and attractive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A study conducted on South African women<\/a> found that seven out of 10 women felt doubtful and less attractive due to lack of sex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When coupled with the societal pressure to be sexually active, it's easy to feel unattractive if she has a non-existent sex life. Having sex unburdens her from such anxiety and enhances her self-esteem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There's also the argument that sex is a psychological need<\/a>. Women often focus on meeting physiological needs like sleep, food, and water and forget psychological ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These needs have to do with safety, esteem, love\/connection, and autonomy, and sex is one way of meeting them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. She Is Self-Indulging In New And Odd Habits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Has she taken up strange habits she would never be caught indulging in the past? It could be fiddling with hair, nail-biting, or gnawing teeth. She was conscious of such actions, but she's now doing them without caring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You've also noted she's over-indulging old vices she had stopped. She could be over-eating, smoking, or drinking excessively to fill the sex void or relieve stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex goes a long way in relieving stress<\/a>, and if there's no outlet, it's possible to indulge in habits you'd normally not do. The anxiety and agitation build up, making the mind look for other ways of relieving it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. She Is Always Sad Or Moody<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

She's probably wallowing in sadness or feeling empty for no apparent reason. She's also quiet and moody, and when asked if there's anything wrong, she can't give a conclusive answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You've also noticed she doesn't smile as much or laugh at your jokes. She's probably using monosyllables when responding to questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She might also lack interest in doing fun things, e.g., shopping or watching her favorite shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"picture<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the moodiness and sadness have lingered for weeks, check the last time you had sex. Lack of emotional connection or intimacy for an extended period causes women to be melancholic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex helps the body release dopamine<\/a>, the feel-good hormone, uplifting her mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. She Is Constantly Tired<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Is she feeling constantly tired, even though she seems to be resting for hours on end? She might be sexually starved. This kind of fatigue hardly goes away even after lying down all day. The body gets even more tired after resting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She might also feel tension on the shoulders or lower back, causing her to feel more tired. Such stress affects her comfort, quality of life, and how she carries herself around other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. She Struggles Falling Asleep<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It's already past bedtime, and she has been tossing and turning for hours without sleep. She's tried everything from counting sheep to meditation but still struggling to get some much-needed shut-eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her body probably craves sex. Sexual starvation can make a woman lose sleep and be lost in unnecessary thoughts. And if she's already feeling anxious, depressed, angry, or sad, it only increases the hurdle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A study conducted by Michele Lastella from Appleton<\/a> Institute in Central Queensland University found that 60% of people who reached orgasm before bed enjoyed better sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sex helps her fall asleep faster and improves her quality of sleep. The body releases hormones such as dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and vasopressin during sex to help the body relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dopamine is the feel-good hormone, while oxytocin helps reduce stress. Although these hormones don't make her feel sleepy, feeling more relaxed and happier makes it easy to fall asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vasopressin levels increase during sex and after reaching a climax. The hormone plays a critical role in reducing stress which could help her feel drowsy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reaching an orgasm also causes the body to release prolactin, enabling you to fall asleep faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. She Is Depressed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As much as she doesn't want to admit it, sex could be the antidote if she's constantly feeling depressed. It won't cure a depressed mind entirely, but it sure uplifts her mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical intimacy and touch improve a woman's emotional health alleviating any feelings of depression and stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That's because the body releases feel-good hormones during sex which temporarily reduce mental health challenges like depression. They include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
