JAKARTA - Body image or body image can actually affect a person's sexual life. This applies to both women and men, but affects women more.

For a woman, the way she views the body can have a major impact on sexual desire and its ability to be aroused. Meanwhile, men's body image can also have an effect, but it doesn't interfere with their sexual function.

Quoted from Healthshots, on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, a negarative body image will hinder sexual pleasure and responsiveness in women. They tend not to be confident in their own bodies, so they cannot achieve the range they should be.

Having negative thoughts about their own bodies can lead to low self-esteem and in turn lead to low sex drive, said psychiatrist Dr. Ashish Bansal.

There are two types of body image problems that usually affect women sexually, as follows.

1. How do women see themselves

If a person feels his body is not attractive, it can lead to lower sexual self-esteem, so they are reluctant to be sexually invited. This will affect several areas of sexual cycle, such as passion, passion, and orgasm.

The lower a woman looks at her body, the more anxious she will be when seen or touched by her partner. This makes a personal sex life and together with a partner will be disrupted.

2. How women think about their partner's views

Not only for yourself, women can also think that their partner thinks he is not attractive. This thought can disrupt women's sexual desires, including their ability to be aroused.

The partner's thinking of not liking her body is usually experienced by women when entering the menopause period. At this time, women experience a series of changes in their bodies, so they often think that their partners don't like them anymore.

Therefore, the view of the body's own image is sought to always be positive. To achieve this, you must believe in your partner, stop thinking negatively, practice awareness (mindfulnes), calm yourself down before having sex, to focus on your partner when having sex.
