Sexual dysfunction affects both men and women and can potentially ruin relationships but now a new hormone may be able to help.
Dr. Stephanie Ash, a gynecologist at Bay Regional Medical Center in Bay City, Mich., says that lack of labido is wreaking havoc on women and that nationally 43 percent of women suffer from a low sex drive.
"Many women are distraught about it,"said Ash,"... and actually I would say at least 50 percent are reduced to tears in discussing it."
However a drug on the market is working to change all that, it is nicknamed the "Barbie pill" and it is a synthetic hormone that drug companies are rushing to develop. It not only promises better sex but it also promises a knockout body with a year-round tan.
Drugs like Viagra for men, work on stimulating blood flow to overcome impotence but for women it generally does not work. Symptoms of sexual dysfunction in women are more psychological than physically driven. The problem can be triggered by anything such as: heart disease, depression, thyroid disorders or family concerns.
Ash says that sexual dysfunction may be an interpersonal or relationship issue and may not require any medication at all but that it may prevent couples from working on the problem in the relationship itself.

lack of labido is wreaking havoc on women There is a tendency towards loss of credibility when the "journalist" can't even spell "libido."

I prefer a woman without a tan.

Could this be more vague? Maybe it has an effect on the brain, too.
