RE: #Daily Health Talk: HOW TO IMPROVE LIBIDO NATURALLY! by Dr. George
Yes, I agree.
You did not say anything about body image, instead wrote:
“woman also needs her flat tummy,”
Who specifically needs her to have a flat tummy?
It is anatomically normal for women to have a curve to abdomen, as it has to to with the shape of the wider hips.
I invite you to consider the possibility that when we make that statement instead of “not being happy with their body image” it perpetuates a culture of body-image problems that those women experience.
The problem of low libido in women is linked with self-esteem around how men will view her body shape.
As physicians who hold influence it’s important to be clear .... a woman with low libido and low self-esteem may interpret that section in your post and immediately started dieting in a way that may be inappropriate (also a factor in my experience, but linked to the low self-esteem) or spiralled downwards into further low self-esteem.
Thank you for this statement I agree, as a woman it took me years to be happy with my body because it had curves and matured early so I was always trying to hide it to not draw attention to it. Teaching women and girls to know and love their bodies and why they are built the way they are will go along way to increasing their feelings of self worth and thus increasing their libido.
