This is also called female arousal disorder, it is characterized by minimal vaginal lubrication or no lubrication at all during sexual excitation along with the absence of feeling of excitation. In one study many women complained of lack of sexual arousal so that they get very little lubrication & vagina does not relax so that sexual intercourse is painful. In population, many women complain of difficulty in getting excited. Many such women complain of the absence of orgasm & sex may even be painful. It can be from the beginning of sexual life or may start later in life. In some arousal may be absent with one partner whereas it is normal with other partners.
