Creating conditions so you can create drugs to treat said conditions: Does Female Sexual Dysfunction actually exist? This doctor doesn’t think so:
byWhen there is a biologically driven male/female mismatch in sexual drive, which partner has the mental disorder? Is it the relatively undersexed woman or is it the relatively oversexed man?Should we diagnose her with FSD and prescribe a testosterone patch–or should we diagnose him with hypersexuality disorder and prescribe a course of estrogen? Of course, both suggestions are equally ridiculous– neither partner has a mental disorder. The mismatch is just an inevitable, biological fact of life–one that currently has no proper treatment and no real justification for diagnosis. There is certainly no logic to singling out the woman in the pair as the one who is mentally disordered or sexually abnormal.
