However, women's hormones are such a mystery, it seems likely there are multiple contributing factors to diminishing sex drive prior to menopause. Male sex drive is so easy: low testosterone = low sex drive, period. Women hardly have any testosterone to begin with, and if the answer to low sex drive was simply to replenish whatever hormone she is lacking, then treatment would be easy.
Anyway, here's an article that proposes another theory about sex drive in women: [url=http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2002838,00.html]Study: Why Older Women Have Higher Sex Drive - TIME[/url]

Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
