Handling Emotional Issues

Sexual relationships and actions do not solely concern pleasurable and intimate feelings and experiences. Choosing to become sexually active is a pivotal decision in a relationship and can also lead to emotional issues. Women’s hardships in life can also make an impact on sexual relations and health. Dr. Laura Berman suggests that women dealing with issues including depression, anxiety, chronic stress, addiction and eating disorders should visit a therapist to improve their problems and overall health. Struggles such as the ones listed above can negatively impact your way of thinking, causing you to act abnormally and possibly engage in risky sexual actions. Little or no trust between partners can also result in emotional sexual problems.
