Low libido- an epidemic


When 50ish supermodel Christina Ferrare went on Oprah last year and made public her personal struggles with low sexual libido, neither she nor her talk show host could have been prepared for the tremendous response her disclosure provoked. Experts now estimate that approximately 40 million women suffer from low libido. Diminished desire, difficulty in arousal, and inability to achieve orgasm are hallmarks of the condition. Left untreated, it can destroy marriages and lives. An estimated 43-56% of all women experience this problem over their lifetimes. Once thought to occur mostly in women who had gone through menopause, it now seems to happen primarily to women in their 20s, 30s and 40s.
