The arousal phase of the sexual response cycle is characterized by physiological changes such as vaginal lubrication and clitoral engorgement in females. If a female does not experience these changes, she may be exhibiting symptoms of female sexual interest/arousal disorder. Sexual aversion disorder is characterized by a strong aversion or fear of sexual activity. Female orgasmic disorder is characterized by difficulty reaching orgasm despite adequate sexual stimulation, and generalized sexual desire disorder is characterized by a lack of sexual desire in general. None of these disorders specifically involve a lack of physiological arousal in response to sexual stimuli.
