Low Sexual Desire
Hypoactive Sexual Desire
Sexual Desire in Women
Sexual desire in females is both more complex and more fragile than it is in males, less tied to biology, more linked to psychology. It is generally more variable and related to how they feel about themselves, what is going on in their lives, to say nothing of a partner's lovemaking style.
But experts agree that in general, sexual desire is lower among females than among males, so a drop in female desire for any reason may be more problematic in relationships.
