Women's Libido Can Be An Issue Too

We stumbled across an article in psychology today recently, titled "5 Shocking Stats About Men and Sex." Besides containing some all-around solid information about topics like how often a man thinks about sex and the unreliability of penis-size surveys, the article also contained an interesting nugget about the nature of the female libido. Said the article:
"...As it turns out, the instant a woman enters a secure relationship, her sex drive begins to plummet. Four years in, a German study found, fewer than half of women wanted regular sex. And after 20 years, only 20 percent did. Among men, libido held steady no matter how long they'd been in the relationship. Researchers provide an evolutionary explanation—women's sex drive is initially high to facilitate pair bonding."
The takeaway? While it's incredibly important for men to seek help for decreased libido generally and erectile dysfunction specifically, the woman also has a part to play in the equation -- especially in a committed relationship -- and might consider seeking help as well.
