    Dr. Mailik, thank you for making this video. My post menopausal wife has been suffering with HSDD at least 3 years. She soldiered on until she couldn’t stand any form of intimacy and told me that she was done with sex. It was clear that she no longer desired me after over 40 years of marriage. I felt heartbroken and rejected because our communication and relationship were solid. I blamed myself. I considered stopping cancer treatment because there was little else worth fighting for. She told me that she felt like a failure and that I deserved a better wife. Then I came across your video and asked my wife to watch it. We realized that her gynecologist had given her terrible advice; and that loss of libido and painful intercourse was not inevitable during and after menopause. She now has an appointment with the Director of a center for women’s sexual health at the same local center of excellence where I receive cancer treatment. We’re both hopeful that with the right care we’ll have a good outcome. Wish us luck!❤

    I was amazed how my wife's libido returned after a year on a low carb ketogenic diet, and then decreased again when she started consuming more carbs again (enough to keep her out of ketosis most of the time). We know diet affects hormones and also the micro biome, which also has direct links with hormones including those concentrated mostly in the brain like dopamine and serotonin for instance.

      This is a generalized statement from me, and I am not a doctor. Carbs are needed for making serotonin. Increasing serotonin reduces sexual desire. SSRIs can drastically decrease sexual desire due to them raising serotonin levels. Just my .02 worth.

Biologically, we aren't designed to be banging it out all the time. We are more prone to infections and issues, sex carries higher consequences for us. I get a yeast infection almost every time my partner goes down on me. Sort of takes the fun out of it. Stress affects us way more and sex is not the de-stressor for women that men think it is. Perhaps it's not the women. Perhaps it's just the men constantly wanting to have sex with everything that moves.

    My wife has had several symptoms of HSDD and have experienced a majority of the causes you've listed. We've been going through a stressful period in the marriage for months now.
    However, my wife suddenly noticed a change in her libido yesterday after several months of not feeling aroused the way she used to. In fact, this change comes about a month after she had stopped taking oral contraception. I'm not sure if the two are related but, it's a welcome change that we hope to capitalise on.

    • @GnosisDharma

      There is a link oral contraception do lower lobido in woman. Ironically woman take them in order to have it more but since it prevents ovulation the time when woman want it the most it really is not the best sollution I would say and very unhealthy too. It's amasing that it been at least said that they made the pill for woman because men would not experiment with their hormonal levels. It's sad but do men really want the woman to loose their desire and they want it. There are thankfully more studies now for better contraceptives, but for how long will it take to reach the market? To long I would say!

      I have been through all the male stages from wife stopping all sex, anger, resentment, depression, becoming distant. Without physical intimacy in a relationship there is no bonding and oxytocin flowing around, so the happiness disappears and the male reward for being a loyal caring husband is taken away. Dr Malik is one of the best people to see things from both sides, male and female and maybe help save a few marriages.

      I know a man that tolerated this lack of sex for a long time then decided to have a sex only gf on the side. He told her (the side chick) upfront he’ll never leave his wife and kids so it’s strictly FWB and nothing more. Was this right? I guess not but he was tired of begging for intimacy and didn’t want his family life interrupted over it. If the roles were reversed being the wife was sexual and the husband wasn’t I guarantee the husband would do anything he can to keep her satisfied and happy with sex toys or whatever. Women just give up and don’t understand the needs of men then act all surprised and upset when they cheat. If my penis stopped working I’d use toys, fingers, and tongue just to keep her satisfied. I certainly wouldn’t just shut intimacy down and hope she doesn’t stray.... women too often are the bigger player in these problems

      Maybe to you. I am sorry but if the person does not want to it doesn’t mean automatically there is something wrong with oneself. There are different forms of sexuality such as Demi sexuality or even asexuality, where the person just naturally does not engage want to engage or maybe only with themselves. In a society that is overly sexualized stigmas come about easily, such as the one you present. And no, one does not have to do something ‘about’ it, as there is nothing wrong with having a different sexual orientation then the group, that promotes itself to be the norm. There is no norm to that as it entirely depends on the person. What is important is the be with a partner who is comparable.

    Excellent video! As a personal trainer and exercise physiologist I have worked with thousands of men and women over the last 27 years. One thing to check for based on my experience is estrogen dominance due to all the xenoestrogens we are exposed to on a daily basis - among other things like added hormones in the foods we eat or any other endocrine disrupting chemicals! In short, if you have low libido it might be a good idea to do a full hormone panel (urine, blood, and saliva) and don't be surprised if you are estrogen dominant with very low testosterone considering you are otherwise healthy and this goes for men and women. Most everyone I have consulted with have no libido, depression, stress, anxiety, etc. and when I put them on HRT/TRT it is night and day. Women and men get their sex life back and they are literally different people when it comes to having patience again, happy, joyful, loving, and all the positive emotions associated with life!

    Hi Dr Rena. Unfortunately for me as a male, there's very much a double edged sword with my wife and I. Mismatch of desire and a total absence of libido for her because of menopause. Needless to say I have constant desire and she has zero. We were intimate one night in July for the first time in three or four years. That was only because I kept pressing the issue. Not the best way to go about it. May sound crazy but I literally didn't know any better, so I simply chalked it up to what's been going on with her, and that nothing could be done about it. Now, we're finally communicating and she's going to see an OBGYN in the near future. She's in a middle or later stage and hasn't had her cycle for just over a year. She doesn't want to do estrogen replacement (at least not yet) because of the cancer concerns surrounding that. Any suggestions in the meantime?

I know that your videos are targeted toward allosexual (people who do experience sexual attraction) people, but it would be really nice if you mentioned asexuality in passing. Our experiences are still quite pathologized, despite the changes in the DSM-5. A lot of people see us as broken or deficient in some way.

      i understand your concern, but a big part of asexuality is not seeing your lack of libido as a problem. if somebody wants to change that, as i'm sure most people watching this video do, we're most likely not asexual. i think asexuality and lack of libido in itself are two very different things

What if I went for over a year without taking her out for dinner? It would catastophic and a source of fighting and resentment -- and we'd ultimately go back to our regular schedule of eating out. Now apply that to a husband who has been sexually abandoned. What is he to do? From where I stand, not too much other than open up another TV dinner.

    I wonder if one can really call it an "issue" when the female libido is reduced in most women shortly after a pregnancy.
    Isn't that natures way of making sure that the attention goes to the baby in the first months and that procreation doesn't continue right after birth? Also giving the body some time off to recuperate from all the changes it underwent during pregnancy. So that nature tries to make sure that the next pregnancy is not starting within a years distance between the last.

What sucks about it most of all is because I cant explain it, it causes him to feel like something may be wrong with him but its not. So its either I suck it up and try (which can be painful sometimes) or he has to rub one out (using his ruff calluses hands).

    My wife and I have been married for 45 years and had 3 daughters. But, we have had NO SEX for last 25 years. I have tried everything. She will not see a therapist, or take any medication. Please advise.

      Go pay a high class hooker and have a major fuckfest over a weekend. After 45 years of marriage with no sex for years, you deserve it.
