Sexual Health
by Florence Cardinal on February 26, 2007

During his presentation at the annual meeting of the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health in Orlando, Fla., Irwin Goldstein, M.D., Ph.D., a former professor of urology and gynecology at Boston University, encouraged physicians to use testosterone therapy to treat patients with low sex drive. In fact, in a recent study of 45 pre-menopausal women with low sex drive, researchers found women who received transdermal testosterone therapy were more likely to engage in sexual activity and enjoyed it more than women who did not receive the therapy. Women who received testosterone treatments also reported having more sexual fantasies and orgasms than their counterparts in the control group.
What, exactly, is testosterone? Wikepedia describes it this way:
It is the principal male sex hormone and an anabolic steroid. In both males and females, it plays key roles in health and well-being. Examples include enhanced libido, energy, immune function, and protection against osteoporosis. On average, the adult male body produces about twenty to thirty times the amount of testosterone that an adult female's body does.

Apparently, women (according to experts) have not adapted to casual sex. Interesting, eh?
