Why Don't I Want to Have Sex?

 Why Don't I Want to Have Sex?

If you never want sex, it's time to do something about it.

You may have heard about "pink Viagra." That's what some call the drug intended to boost women's sex drive, Flibanserin, which was approved by the FDA on August 18 after being rejected twice before. Although the nickname is a misnomer — Flibanserin affects neurotransmitters, not blood flow to the genitals like Viagra does — it has people talking about female sexual desire. And while it's no fun to divulge over brunch that you never feel like doing it, it's a real issue. Nearly 11 percent of women 18 to 44 suffer from a distressing sexual problem. Distressing being the key word.

"No one knows what 'normal libido' is," says certified sex therapist Nan Wise, Ph.D. "It's a problem if the woman says it is." Other experts echo her opinion. What experts are split on is if meds are the answer. Flibanserin purports to treat female sexual dysfunction, meaning a reduced amount or lack of interest in sexual activity, fantasies, pleasure, or arousal (even in response to partner initiation) lasting more than six months that's not due to something else. Whether or not the drug is okayed, if this sounds familiar, ask your doc if one of these "something elses" is the source of your libido's crash.
