Comments on: Women’s sexual desire more likely linked to self-image, not hormones http://familyrelationships.org.uk/womens-sexual-desire-more-likely-linked-to-self-image-not-hormones News and resources for the modern family Tue, 27 Jul 2010 07:42:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Andy http://familyrelationships.org.uk/womens-sexual-desire-more-likely-linked-to-self-image-not-hormones/comment-page-1#comment-21 Andy Wed, 16 Nov 2005 13:33:04 +0000 http://familyrelationships.org.uk/2005/11/16/womens-sexual-desire-more-likely-linked-to-self-image-not-hormones#comment-21 Hi Mahesh, Yes I agree with you. The article looked at women presumably because that's what they wanted to study on this occasion. Perhaps it's another stereotype that women can have a lower self-image than men, but sure, it affects both sexes. I suppose here they were looking at what effect the menopause has - something men don't really have to deal with (not in the same way, at least!) The media has a big deal to do with our image. I don't think there's ever been anything wrong with sex for pleasure - I believe that it was intended as much for that as for reproduction. However, it has been distorted to a great extent.

Its also same with men too. One thing is there. Nowadays with media and also because of conditioning over centuries the real role of sex has changed....from that of reproduction to pleasure. Added to that, now log on to web and you see thousands of pornography sites and hyped articles about penis and boobs that it leaves a normal person suffer from inferiority complex. Every person ask the same question and all doctors give the same mundane answer...yet the inferiority complex continues. I have just put forth my thought. Why women? Its also same with men too.
