The answer

The issue of desire between spouses is relative; a man's desire may be stronger than a woman's, and vice versa. These are allotments and provisions from Allah. What helps stimulate a woman's desire is supplicating to Allah Almighty and adhering to the etiquettes of Islam, including what Ibn Qudamah mentioned concerning Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not have intercourse with her unless she has experienced a desire similar to yours, so that you do not finish before her." I (Umar) said: "Is that within my control?" He said: "Yes, you kiss her, caress her, and fondle her, and when you see that she has experienced what you have experienced, then you have intercourse with her." There is no harm in seeking help from specialized female doctors if that is necessary.
