Local doctors are testing medication to treat a condition called hypo-active sexual desire disorder that causes young women to lose interest in sex.
It's the most common type of female sexual dysfunction that's usually linked to the hormonal changes women go through after menopause.
However, it's estimated that 20 percent of women who have not gone through menopause have a low sex drive or lose interest in sex.


It's not clear what causes HSDD in young women, but the new drug being tested by doctors does not involve hormones.
"This is a drug that works in the brain and changes ones thoughts from non-interest in sex, to normal interest in sex," said Dr. James Simon.
The drug is called Flibanserin.
Initially it was tested as an anti-depressant.
It didn't really work. But doctors discovered that severely depressed patients, particularly women, showed an increase in their sexual desire when taking the medication.
Flibanserin is now being studied as a possible treatment for HSDD in women between the ages of 18 and 45.

Women take pills twice a day.
"This requires, we think, about a month's worth of taking it, for it to kick in and it is most likely to work while a woman is taking it," said Simon. "We don't know if it will have a persistent effect, once she discontinues."
Doctors said they haven't seen any serious side effects with the medication, but that's one of the things they are looking for in the study.
Even if the drug proves effective it could be at least two years before it's widely available.

british women

According to a new survey, British women in their 40s and 50s are more likely to have a low sex drive than their European counterparts. What’s more, far from being concerned at the lack of passion in their lives, more than a third of British women said an active sex life was simply no longer important to them. Here, married writers Diana and Ross Appleyard give a very female, and very male, perspective on why this may be so. Diana, and Ross, both 45, have two children, Beth, 18, and Charlotte, 13, and live in Argyll.

Who to contact for sex therapy- in the UK

I personally think talking about the problem helps. I went online tO search for places where people can go for sex therapy. I found this list for UK residents.

Who to contact for sex therapy
Written by Christine Webber, psychotherapist and Dr David Delvin, GP and psychosexual specialist
In the 21st century, more and more people are seeking help with their sex lives. Whether sex and relationship problems are on the increase, or whether numbers have grown because of people's willingness to seek help, is unclear. What is clear is that if you have any concerns regarding any area of your sexuality, in there are plenty of ways in which you can get assistance. However, our research suggests that you may often have to try pretty hard to get that help – particularly in areas of the country where therapists are rather ‘thin on the ground'.Furthermore, current NHS policies mean that there is very little money available for treatment of sex problems. So in most parts of the UK, you will probably have to pay for therapy or counselling. We've put together a quick checklist of the best professionals and organisations to approach.

Your GP
For most problems, a good starting point is to visit your GP. Speak to your doctor about any problems you have. It might be a good idea to book a 'double' appointment, if this is permitted in your practice. Most GPs allow a maximum of 10 minutes per patient these days, but to start talking about sexual problems can take much longer. Your GP may be able to offer some help to you. (For instance, in recent years virtually all GPs have started prescribing ‘erection drugs', such as Cialis, Levitra and Viagra - though the Government places severe restrictions on who can receive them.) If your family doctor can't help you, then he or she should discuss the viability of you getting free treatment on the NHS. However, in large areas of the UK, no such free treatment is available. Nevertheless, your GP may know of private therapists in your region.

Family planning clinics
Family planning (FP) clinics are staffed by doctors (most of them female) trained in psychosexual matters. These days, a lot of the nurses also have some psychosexual training.Most of the staff are very easy to get on with, very relaxed and - it's nice to know - have seen it all before! They are particularly good with problems like vaginismus, low libido, poor technique, difficulty reaching orgasm, premature ejaculation, retarded ejaculation, and inability to conceive. Unfortunately, in the last five years or so FP clinics have become more and more overloaded with patients, and their resources have become increasingly strained. So in some areas, couples have to wait for a year or more before they can have therapy sessions with a trained doctor or nurse. On the ‘plus’ side, FP clinics make no charge for giving help.

Hospitals
In some areas of the country - London and Sheffield are relatively well off in this respect - there are psychosexual units at large hospitals. There is invariably a waiting list, but people eventually get seen and helped. When you do get an appointment, it may be for some time in the future. Please try to summon up the courage to attend your appointment!. Unfortunately, many people 'chicken out' at the last moment. This kind of behaviour is not helpful to you - and is unfair to other people on the waiting list, and indeed is one of the main factors in waiting lists being as long as they are. The treatment is free, but you will need to be referred by your GP.

Genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics
GUM clinics – which treat sexually transmitted infections - are also very helpful on all sorts of sexual issues; they have good knowledge and lots of common sense, though the doctors are not generally very highly trained in psychosexual issues. There are concerns about the way that ‘waiting times’ for GUM clinics are growing – but it should be possible for you to see a doctor within two weeks and get some helpful general advice. However, psychotherapy and marriage guidance are definitely not provided.All consultations are free.

NHS gynaecologists and urologists
If a sex problem is essentially physical (eg a too wide vagina after childbirth or a bent penis) then the NHS should be able to help. Female physical problems are generally referred to a gynaecologist and male ones to a urologist.Some gynaecologists and urologists now provide psychosexual counselling services, and many urologists are prescribing erection-inducing drugs.Treatment is free and your GP should be able to advise you about who to go to and (most essential) write you a referral letter.

Relate

Relate is not just a relationship counselling agency. A number of Relate counsellors do have specific psychosexual training, mainly in the school of Masters and Johnson.So when you ring up, make clear that it is sex therapy (rather than marriage guidance) you are looking for.At the present time, Relate sex counsellors are very highly rated for doing an excellent job in treating premature ejaculation, lack of sex drive, inability to climax, and various ‘technical’ bedroom problems. But they are not doctors, and therefore cannot examine you, or prescribe medication. Relate's fees are relatively modest and are means-based.

Couple Counselling Scotland

Couple Counselling Scotland does similar good work to Relate, but north of the border. The number of your nearest clinic will be in your local phone book.The Institute of Psychosexual MedicineInstitute of Psychosexual Medicine is a organisation of family planning doctors who have had special training in sex problems – particularly vaginismus, poor libido, and difficulty in climaxing.Some work in FP clinics (see above). Others treat clients privately. Some of the latter will see a patient without a GP's referral, but not all will do this.

The British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy

The British Association for Sexual and Relationship Therapy (BASRT) consists mostly of non-medical personnel plus some doctors, all of whom have had extensive training.The best way to find out about a therapist in your area is to email info@basrt.org.uk.Therapists charge fees, which vary greatly in different parts of the country; consultations in Harley Street and similar areas are likely to be expensive. Before booking yourself in, always enquire what the costs will be.

There are lots of herbal medications and vitamin preparations that are alleged to boost your sex drive. And many shops will be delighted to sell them to you! But – and this is very important – there are absolutely no scientific trials that prove that any of these things work (except, of course, by the power of suggestion). At the moment, 'medical ' drugs like Cialis, Levitra, Viagra and the male hormone testosterone haven't really been proved to help women in your situation either – though some testosterone products are likely to be marketed quite soon.There are one or two devices and creams that are alleged to help when applied to the clitoris. But really what you need to do is to go to an experienced doctor who can help you find out WHY you are lacking in desire. In the UK, the easiest place to find such a doctor is often at your local Family Planning Clinic.

A spray that helps increase women's enjoyment of sex has undergone successful trials.
The spray, developed by Australian company Acrux, contains the male sex hormone testosterone.

It was initially designed with post-menopausal women in mind, but has also been shown to work for young women with a low libido.

Acrux plans to carry out larger trials, and does not expect the spray to come to market for several years.
The spray could make an enormous difference to the quality of many women's lives
Professor Susan DavisThe spray was tested over four months in three doses on 261 women with a low sex drive and low testosterone levels.

Researchers found a statistically significant rise in the number of satisfying experiences at the end of the fourth month for women taking the second highest dose of the spray.

The only apparent side effect was a small increase in body hair among some of the participants. This prompted two women taking the highest dose of the spray to drop out of the study.

real problems


My girlfriend have problems with our sex life these days.She hasdepression depression and it seems to really affect our love life. We have gone two years without sex, as she cannot get turned on enough. We don’t even carry out masturbation on each other anymore as she cannot get turned on and is afraid of it failing if we try. This means that we can’t even try to fix the problem because we don’t talk about it any more. I have been looking into drugs that she can use to try and arouse her more but I think it’s a better idea getting herbal drugs as it would be safer. Are there any drugs that would help?


Answer


At the present moment (2006), there are still no drugs available for treating this type of problem. However, the big pharmaceutical companies are working on ‘libido enhancing’ agents which they may well bring out ion the next year or two. Alas, we know of no evidence that herbal preparations will work. However, by all means try some herbal remedies as they should be pretty safe.However, by all means try herbal remedies as they should be pretty safe. But I think that what your girlfriend needs is a complete assessment by an expert - at a Family Planning Clinic, at Relate or (as you are both quite young) at the Brook Advisory Service for Young People. Why not ring their helpline to find out how to make an appointment? The number is: 08000 185023. It may well be that your girlfriend's depression – or the drugs used to treat it – are a major part of the problem. Not many people realise that antidepressant pills can interfere with one’s sex life.Good luck.

Iodine Level




Don't make the mistake of thinking that more is better. Ingesting more iodine than your body needs can result in diarrhea, intestinal cramping, accelerated heartbeat, insomnia, irritability and headaches. A deficiency is no better -- lowered metabolism (weight gain, cold hands and feet), lowered immunity, poor quality sleep, low to non-existent sex drive, PMS, poor digestion, constipation, falling and/or greying hair, brittle nails, iron and vitamin A deficiencies. Pay attention to your body -- and your baby's -- to find the optimum level for the both of you while you are breastfeeding.

Answer

Christine adds: Yes, I'm sure that if you can find an easy-going, frank woman doctor to talk to at a Family Planning clinic, she'll be able to help you a lot. Can I also suggest that you take a look at an article we wrote called 'Sexual desire and your hormones'?

Nonexistance of sex drive

Intersting question and answer that caught my attention:

Question
I’m a normal healthy woman, but I have never really had a sex drive. I love my partner but I find it difficult to have sex with him I have also experienced this with another partner. I am very lacking in confidence, and would rather run away at the thought of sex. For some reason it scares me. I don’t know why, as I have never been sexually abused, although I have been physically abused. I would love to know how could I improve my sex drive and my confidence, and be able to enjoy myself – instead of curling up into a little ball and dreading it. I do fancy my partner and I do love him very much.

Answer
David writes: I note that you are only 21. Quite a few women of your age feel pretty much as you do. The first thing for you to do is to get some free, commonsense counselling from a woman doctor at a Family Planning Clinic – where they are used to dealing with this problem daily. If you need more specialised advice, they'll tell you. I wish you the very best of luck Christine adds: I agree that a Family Planning Clinic would be the best place to start. The women doctors there are usually very easy-going, and relaxed - and expert. I also think you need to be kind to yourself. You say you have no reason to be as you are because you 'have never been sexually abused'. But you go on to say that you have been physically abused. I guess this was by a man - though perhaps it's wrong of me to assume that - but if it was, then this could have quite an impact on any closeness with men, as it may be that – deep down – you expect to be harshly treated. Anyway, please see the Family Planning doctor and do tell her about the physical abuse.Can I also suggest that you could help yourself a great deal by building up your self-esteem? To that end, there is a self-esteem test on this site that I recommend you try . If your score is on the low side - which I suspect it will be - you'll find there's quite a lot of advice given which should help you. The most important thing here, I feel, is that you feel strongly motivated to improve things. This is really good. So now you've emailed us, please take the next step towards a happier life by making an appointment at your local Family Planning Clinic. Good luck.
Yours sincerely
Dr David Delvin, GP and Christine Webber, sex and relationships expert
