30 Something Baby Doc

From the time I committed myself solely to the health care of women, nothing has amazed me more than the complexity of the female sex drive and sexual response. The male libido is fairly simplistic. Show a male a naked woman = male gets horny (If male can't get hard we have a pill to help him)

The female libido is influenced by multiple factors coming into harmony all at once. (Kinda like aligning all the planets). In my patients , these factors include female hormones, emotional state, relationship dynamics, self image, physical health, mental health, childbearing status and history of abuse

One of my patients was concerned the other day because she lost her libido after having her first child 18 months earlier. Her husband was starting to go to "titty" bars and she was concerned she was going to lose him. She said she could not stand the thought of initiating sex with her husband(She became digusted when he wanted sex) but she also stated that cuddling with him was no problem. I asked about the status of there relationship and she stated everything was great. He is a good husband, always helped equally with their child, wasn't abusive and treated her very well. I asked her several other questions to determine if there were some psychological or social cause for her lack of interest in sex, but nothing was apparent. She desperately wanted something to increase her libido.

I offered her Estratest (an oral testosterone preparation) since Testosterone is the hormone that makes us men horny 24/7. But I still feel that there may be some problems with the relationship that the patient isn't divulging. I also think here husband should stop going to the "titty" bars and become more attentive to his wife.
