While this is true, it doesn't make the problem go away.
If you and your spouse are going back and forth about this why not check your serum hormone levels next time you go in for a physical. If your GP thinks the levels are strange or low he/she can refer you to an endocrinologist. The ednocrinologist will know for sure if there is a real problem and if there is he or she will get you started on some hormone replacement, no big deal
It's not this "strange nefarious plot" that many here on FR seem to think it is. It's not for everyone, but it can help many people, so why not check, especially if you're over the age of 40.
