Feelings of loneliness
Emotional emptiness
A desire for physical closeness
An increased longing for affection
It must be emphasized that not every woman has these experiences. Some consciously enjoy their independence and experience a period without a partner as positive and liberating.
Reactions are therefore always individual and depend on personal needs, experiences, and life circumstances.
Stress, Tension, and Psychological Well-being
Another important aspect concerns mental health. During intimate moments, various neurotransmitters are released that can promote well-being.
These include, in particular:
Oxytocin
Endorphins
Dopamine
These substances are often associated with relaxation, connection, and positive feelings.
When intimacy is lacking for an extended period, some women report:
Increased nervousness
A greater sense of stress
Inner tension
Poorer sleep quality
Emotional restlessness
Furthermore, psychological stress can also cause physical symptoms. These include, for example:
Anxiety & Stress
