Decreased sexual response.
Decreased sexual response is also referred to as decreased libido, low sex drive or hypoactive sexual desire disorder. 
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder may be caused by decreased estrogens levels in females or low testosterone synthesis in both men and women. Although decreased sexual response affects both genders, it is far more common in women and therefore, it is considered a typical female sexual disorder.
A woman, who experiences decreased libido, has very limited fantasies or does not have any desire for sexual activity. Typically, she presents a very low response, before and during a sexual intercourse.
The causes of decreased sexual response can be a complex of physical and psychological factors. The latest may be difficult to be identified and addressed properly. Diabetic neuropathy can cause decreased vaginal lubrication which, in turn, results in decreased libido. In fact, nearly thirty five percent of women with diabetes experience decrease or total absence of sexual response.
Fatigue, urinary incontinence, menopause, stress, insomnia, alcohol abuse, anxiety and depression are other causes for decreased sexual response. Certain medications, such as antipsychotics, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, opiates, tricyclic antidepressants, psychoactives, antihypertensives, contraceptives and tranquillizers, may reduce sexual desire.
Psychological causes of decreased sexual response.
Marital problems, lack of communication within the couple, regarding their sexual life and reduced confidence on behalf of the woman about her appearance and sex appeal are the most common psychological causes of decreased sexual response. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder may be the psychological aftermath of certain gynecological operations, such as hysterectomy or mastectomy. In such cases, the patient does not feel desirable anymore, since she has lost typical feminine sexual symbols.
Sexual abuse incidents, rape, domestic violence or religious and cultural backgrounds that consider a sexual intercourse socially unacceptable, if it does not take place for reproductive purposes, can be underlying causative factors for decreased libido in women.
