This is also called female arousal disorder, it is characterized by minimal vaginal lubrication or no lubrication et all during sexual excitation along with absence of feeling of excitation. In one study many women complained of lack of sexual arousal so that they get very little lubrication & vagina does not relaxes so that sexual intercourse is painful. In population many women complain of difficulty in getting excited. Many of such women complain of absence of orgasm & sex may be even be painful. It can be from beginning of sexual life or may start later in life. In some arousal may be absent with one partner whereas it is normal with other partner.

Disorders of sex centre: In the brain there is a particular center in the hippocampus part of fore brain, which regulates the desire of sex. Sex center has some well-defined portion, which control different component of normal sexuality These are as follows as one part of sex center controls sexual desire other parts controls excitation i.e. lubrication in response to sexual excitation, time taken in orgasm & enjoyment of sexual act including enjoyment of orgasm. So any disorder of sex center due to various causes can lead to less excitation in response to sexual stimuli. This occurs due to arousal & excitation-controlling portions of sex center does not work properly so that inspite of \not having any physical or mental disorders the patient does not gets sexually excited. Beside absent excitation patient may be sexually otherwise be fit or may be suffering with some other sexual disorder.
The causes of sex centre dysfunction can be divided into two groups: (1) immediate cause, and (2) remote causes. Such a classification is helpful in the treatment of absent excitation. If the absent excitation & arousal is due to immediate causes, a removal of these factors results in adequate excitation & lubrication & enjoyment by women. If it is due to remote causes, then detailed sex therapy may be necessary for a more lasting cure.
