Do you ever find yourself in the middle of sex, wondering whether you locked the back door and if you have something ironed to wear to work tomorrow? Or maybe you suddenly remember the garbage cans that need to be put out for tomorrow's pickup? It's an unusual woman who hasn't experienced unwelcome thoughts during sex that disrupt the flow and spoil the mood.
If you're one of the millions of women who experience chronic anxiety, that experience may be the norm rather than an occasional occurence. Racing and intrusive thoughts are a major block to sexual enjoyment. Women's sexual pleasure is largely dependent on the ability to focus on sexual sensations, relax, and let go. Anxious thoughts keep that from happening.
It's important to seek treatment for anxiety problems that interfere with your ability to function and enjoy life. Anxiety disorders respond well to cognitive behavioral therapy. I'll post tomorrow on tips for managing the worrying thoughts and the wandering mind that have the power to shut down your arousal response.
