| | Inhibited sexual desire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Low sexual desire, however, may be a barometer of the emotional health of the relationship. | | | When both partners have low sexual desire, the issue of sexual interest level will not be problematic in the relationship. | | | Some couples will also need to focus on how they may sexually approach their partner in more interesting and desirable ways, and in how to more gently and tactfully decline a sexual invitation. |

| | Mothering: Adolescent girls and sexual desire |
| | Girls' sexual desire is an interruption of the condoned version of what happens in girls' bodies. | | | Michelle Fine makes this point in an article entitled "The Missing Discourse of Desire." In it she addresses the fact that sex education courses seldom talk about female desire, though male desire is usually presumed and discussed as something that girls have to learn to resist or accommodate, depending on the circumstances. | | | To be fair, our reluctance to discuss sexual desire with young people comes, in part, from our own discomfort with the topic and partially from the way that the whole concept gets confused with issues of safety. |

| | Women with Low Sexual Desire |
| | When evaluating treatments for sexual problems, experts say it's important to recognize that there is an especially large placebo effect, which is based upon the user's expectations of the treatment. | | | Because expectations play such a large role in sexual desire, over-the-counter products may claim that they're effective, but it's likely just a placebo effect. | | | Partner performance problems, lack of emotional satisfaction with the relationship, the birth of a child, and becoming a caregiver for a loved one can decrease sexual desire. |

| | Women Beyond 50: A New Reality of Sexual Desire |
| | By examining what is really happening to sexual desire in women of a certain age, we can begin to break out of this spiral of negative expectation. | | | We learned that valuing the aging process means talking about the changes in our sexual desire not just with our doctors, but also with our partners, our friends, even with our daughters and sons. | | | By challenging the youth-focused definitions of sexuality that are so predominant in our society, we can see changes in desire not as a problem to be fixed, but rather as an aspect of maturity to be appreciated. |
