Women Get Sexually Frustrated Too

It seems some women with low testosterone stop desiring sex with their partners. If your wife or girlfriend seems to be sexually frustrated and/or has a low sex drive, this may be the reason. This problem occurs mostly in older women than in younger women. And doctors do not like to prescribe testosterone to younger women of child bearing age.


Testosterone shown to help sexually frustrated women

Testosterone, the male hormone, has been called “the hormone of desire.” In males the “Big T” builds muscle for boys and ultimately turns boys into sexually well-functioning men. Women also produce testosterone during puberty, but only about one-tenth as much as males. Later in life they produce less, and this is why some authorities believe women lose interest in sex.

How do women know if they have less testosterone and therefore less “tiger in the tank”? There’s a good chance testosterone is lacking if they complain of little sexual desire, lack of energy, loss of height, decreased enjoyment in life, are sad or grumpy, fall asleep after meals and produce inadequate work performance. If the answer is yes to four of these conditions, there may not be enough big T.

Women may lack this hormone for several reasons. In North America 700,000 hysterectomies are done every year. The ovaries that produce estrogen and testosterone are removed in 50% of these cases between the age of 40-44 years and in 80% between 45 to 54 years of age. This sudden removal of hormones can trigger female sexual dysfunction (FSD).

Studies done at McGill University in Montreal showed that women whose ovaries had been removed proved to be more interested in sexual intercourse after treatment with a combination of estrogen and testosterone. So why is this combination, or testosterone alone, not prescribed more often to replace the tiger in the tank?

The problem is not simple. Some doctors are skeptical about the use of testosterone for women. They argue that not enough study has been done to demonstrate its effectiveness and long-term safety, and until research is complete testosterone should be used cautiously, or not at all. For instance, it’s been shown that testosterone can have negative effects on cholesterol levels, primarily decreasing HDL, the good cholesterol.

Other critics point out that FSD can be the result of many medical and psychological conditions such as an unhappy marriage, or financial troubles.... continue

  1. Try inserting your penis all the way into your partner’s vagina and thrust so your penis only goes in and out of her vagina an inch or so. This will help you last longer during intercourse.
