I'm Not in the Mood

More about the book

Testosterone, known as the "hormone of desire," plays a crucial role in stimulating sexual interest, sensitivity, and orgasmic ability in both men and women. In women, testosterone levels decline by about 50% from their twenties to their fifties, often leading to a noticeable decrease in sexual desire and enjoyment. Dr. Reichman explores the potential of small doses of testosterone to rejuvenate sexual desire and pleasure in women. Key questions and topics addressed include the production of male hormones in women, the fate of these hormones, and various factors affecting libido such as behavior, life changes, and medical issues. The book also examines the impact of medications on sexual desire and evaluates the effectiveness of treatments like creams, pills, lozenges, patches, and shots. Additionally, it provides guidance on when to seek help from mental health professionals, how to discuss libido concerns with healthcare providers, and strategies for achieving one's biological sexual potential. Through this exploration, readers gain insights into the complexities of female sexual health and the role of testosterone in enhancing sexual well-being.
