In summary, “a woman's reasons for instigating or agreeing to sex include the desire to express love, receive and share physical pleasure, feel closer emotionally, please her partner, and increase her own well-being.”
[ABDO, Carmita; FLEURY, Heloisa]
“A new proposal for the female sexual response cycle has been
presented by Basson (2001), emphasizing the value of intimacy as a
female motivation for sex. This time, it is understood that many
women initiate the sexual act without sufficient enthusiasm and interest: in
In fact, they want physical closeness and affection, before the sensation
erotica envelops them.
Based on this argument, Basson et al. (2004) propose a model
circulate to the woman's sexual response cycle, in which the absence of
Spontaneous sexual desire (at the beginning of the cycle) does not mean dysfunction
sexuality, which excludes many women from the dysfunctional category. This
The model can be didactically divided into five phases:
1. Beginning of sexual activity, for reasons not necessarily sexual,
with or without awareness of desire.
2. Subjective excitement with respective physical response, triggered
by the receptivity to the erotic stimulus, in adequate context.
3. Sensation of subjective arousal, triggering awareness of desire.
4. Gradual increase in excitement and desire, with or without relief
orgasmic.
5. Physical and emotional satisfaction, resulting in receptivity to
future acts.”

“This receptivity to erotic stimuli would be influenced by three
factors: real motivation to respond to stimuli and willingness to increase
intimacy, physical and emotional satisfaction with the sexual act (results
gratifying) and aspects favorable to receptivity, such as
appropriateness, privacy, trust and security (Baram and Basson, 2008).
Some aspects that could decrease desire and excitability are:
distractions, fatigue, chronic illnesses (Alexander et al, 2006),
previous negative sexual experiences, shame, guilt, lack of
security (emotional, physical or sexual), fear of pregnancy
unwanted, fear of being infertile, fear of contracting a disease
sexually transmitted disease (Baram and Basson, 2008; Basson, 2004).”
