Abstract
Libido—or sexual desire—can be affected by several factors.

Decreased levels of androgens in late reproductive years contribute to the decline in sexual interest/desire in older women. Several investigators agree that androgens influence libido and behavior but not activity or response—such as lubrication and orgasm.
