The Blame Game: Coping with Low Sexual Desire
by Leonard DeRogatis, Ph.D.
Among both pre- and postmenopausal women, the most prevalent sexual problem is chronic low sexual desire, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
Women with this condition lose the desire to have sex with their partners, and often stop experiencing sexual fantasies or thoughts. Typically, such a woman is also unresponsive to her partner's advances. This condition should be distinguished from simple lack of interest in having sex with one's partner that stems from problems with the relationship.
Low sexual desire can be caused by many factors, including low hormone (testosterone) levels, stress arising from the conditions of work or family life, clinical depression, or the use of antidepressant drugs.
One common emotional response consists predominantly of feelings of guilt. It may also include the belief on a woman's part that she is letting her partner down, and frustration and confusion about why the two of them no longer want to have sex.
Women who experience this pattern believe they are responsible for the problem. They blame themselves for failing to keep their side of the bargain with their sexual partner. These women dread sex instead of looking forward to it and, on the rare occasions when they do have sex, are extremely relieved when it is over. Although women with HSDD may typically also have some difficulty with arousal and orgasm, this is not always the case.
These women don't realize that they're experiencing a legitimate medical condition that often is treatable with therapeutic intervention. They go on, often for years, castigating themselves and missing out on their natural capacity for intimacy. 本人已认领该文编译，48小时后若未提交译文，请其他战友自由认领 The Blame Game: Coping with Low Sexual Desire
责备游戏：应对性欲低下

Among both pre- and postmenopausal women, the most prevalent sexual problem is chronic low sexual desire, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
在月经前和绝经后的女性中，最常见的性问题是习惯性性欲低下或功能性性欲低下。

女性经常在停止性幻想的情况下会失去和她们性伴侣发生性关系的欲望。典型的是她对于性伴侣的进攻也反应迟钝。这种情况应该和与生俱来的性欲低下相区别。
Low sexual desire can be caused by many factors, including low hormone (testosterone) levels, stress arising from the conditions of work or family life, clinical depression, or the use of antidepressant drugs.
产生性欲低下的因素很多，包括低荷尔蒙水平，工作或生活的压力，精神抑郁，或使用抗抑郁药。

一种很普遍的情绪反应就是感到一种犯罪。这种情绪让她产生一种在向她的伴侣出卖身体的挫败感和混淆感，从而让他俩彼此失去继续性交下去的欲望。

有过这种经历的女性认为她们对于这个问题是有责任的，她们责备自己未能给配偶做好自己的本分。她们对于性只有畏惧而不是期待，只是在很少的情况下有性欲，当结束的时候感觉是一种解脱。因为女性会产生HSDD，要激起她的性高潮也是很困难的，但这种情况不常见。
These women don't realize that they're experiencing a legitimate medical condition that often is treatable with therapeutic intervention. They go on, often for years, castigating themselves and missing out on their natural capacity for intimacy.
这些女性没有认识到她们这种情况是可以通过正当的医疗来治疗的。长此以往，许多年以后，她们自己受到惩罚，错过了她们本来的幸福。
