A common complaint men have about women is their lack of interest in having sex.

A common complaint women have about men is their interest in having sex.

Men want and need frequent sex with their mate; but women are often just not in the mood.

According to the American Medical Association nearly half the adult female population suffers from Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Or as their partners may call it "Frequent Sexual Denial".

This problem is not just found in the US. In the UK the clinics there also report large numbers of women who complain of low libido.

Why is this apparent lack of sex drive so common in women and quite rare in men?

Doctors believe some of the physical causes to be related to the use of certain prescription drugs, alcohol, diabetes, hormonal abnormalities and anemia.

Psychological/Emotional causes such as depression, stress, anxiety are also suspected.

Interestingly in the US anti-depressants are now the most widely prescribed drug.

So are modern western women suddenly stressed out, overworked females suffering from anemia and hormonal imbalances and a diet deficient in prescription anti-depressants?

Women throughout history have been stressed out, overworked, challenged by anemia and hormonal fluctuations. They have faced tremendous emotional ordeals: losing fathers, sons and lovers in wars; Losing children in child birth; Child birth itself.

So it must be a lack of prescription anti-depressants right? Big pharmacy would like you to think so. They are busy pushing pills for whatever ails you. So far they have had little success in finding a pill to turn women on sexually.

What about getting rid of the things that turn off a woman's sexual desire: I call them the "Female Libido Killers".

Back to the question: Why is this apparent lack of sex drive so common in women and quite rare in men?

Quite simply a woman's biological system is more sensitive than man's. I don't mean in a touchy feely way. A female's body and brain chemistry is more complex than a male's and therefore more sensitive to her environment and nutrition. It has to do with her ability to have children.

Are women killing their own libidos? They probably are with out realizing it. Our modern lifestyle has her eating many foods that are toxic to her body and ruining her sex drive. Today's modern woman may be killing her libido and not know it. Here are some common Female Libido Killers:

Female Libido Killers

• Caffeine (coffee, teas and soda) that boost during the day may mean going bust at night.

• Refined and Processed Foods

• Fast Foods (not just the drive thru types, this includes frozen dinners and the like)

• Sweets (candy, cookies, cakes, etc.)

• Anything containing Soybeans (oil, meal, floor, tofu, etc)

• Birth Control Pills (research indicates this may be the #1 libido killer)
