What is an Oral, Anal and Phallic Fixation all about?

In general, a fixation is an obsessive drive that may or may not be acted on involving an object, concept, or person. Initially introduced by Sigmund Freud, a fixation is a persistent focus of the id’s pleasure-seeking energies at an early stage of psychosexual development. Oral, anal, and phallic fixations occur when an issue or conflict in a psychosexual stage remains unresolved, leaving the individual focused on this stage and unable to move onto the next.

The whole process of sexual reproduction is odd - not just because of the sheer power of its instinctive drive but also because it is something of a puzzle as to why it exists at all. Many animal species are what is sometimes referred to as 'intersex' - that is, they are both sexes at the same time - and there are around 4000 species which are all female and reproduce without any form of sexual activity.

What could be happening if female sex drive starts to fade

Within a stable or steady relationship, the female all too frequently discovers that her sex drive starts to wane after a relatively short while. A cynic might say that this is because she has finally snared her male; in reality, the truth is more likely to be that her male simply makes less effort to create arousal and enjoyment for her. This is not necessarily selfishness - although it doubtless is the case much of the time - for it is rare indeed for a male to be taught exactly how important this is.
