Changes in libido after prolonged abstinence
A topic that concerns many women is the development of their libido during a prolonged period without sexual activity.
For some women, sexual desire remains unchanged. Others, however, notice that their desire diminishes over time. This can have various reasons:
Getting used to a life without sex
hormonal changes
stress
emotional strain
lack of romantic connection
When an intimate relationship develops again later, the return to sexuality can initially feel unfamiliar. Some women need more time to adjust emotionally and physically to the new situation.
