Let’s the discuss the obstacles men and women face when in the bedroom. Sometimes it may be mentally, physically, or hormonal.
Mentally
There is constantly a mind/body connection happening 24/7. Your brain is what sends a signal to your body to move. Your body (sensations) sends a signal to the cognitive, memorable part of your brain and the brain sends a signal back of whether it likes it or not. This may be an obstacle when it comes to sexual pleasure or desire because the brain remembers traumatic experiences. If you experience a sensation that your brain remembers to be unsatisfying, then it will not be pleasurable. Mental obstacles also occur just by simply being in a cluttered head space. Your mind could, literally, be playing mind games and not be in the right space for human interaction.
Physically
Physical obstacles are pretty self explanatory…if you are physically hurt or not feeling well, then of course that may effect your mood and capabilities.
Hormonal
This section is for the women. There are 3 primary sex hormones: estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Two of them are found in women during the ovulatory cycle. There are 2 phases during an ovulatory cycle: Follicular and Literal. During the Follicular Phase, estrogen is at its highest peak. This causes women to move more, be more active, and eat less. During the Literal Phase, progesterone is at its highest peak. This hormone causes women to be more sleepy and tired. Birth control may, also, be an obstacle as it has a different effect on different women, but it is known to minimize sexual desire/pleasure as well.
