Chapter
The Disaster of
Diminished Desire
In the February 10, 1999,issue of'theJournalof'theAmericanMedical
Association {JAMA), perhaps the most respected medicaljournal in
the world, an astonishing report on the sexual health ofAmericans
appeared. The report concluded, among other things, that "sexual
dysfunction is an important public health concern."What is in part
so astonishing is that never before in medical literature has so bold
aperspective been offered.The countryis in a sexualfunk, andwhat
are we to do about it?
TYitJAMAstudypresented some startling findings. Fullyforty-
three percent of American women and thirty-one percent of
American men suffer from sexual dysfunction. Again, close to half
of the women and a little over a third of the men surveyed have
problems with sexual desire as well as other "psychophysiological"
factors. Now you may be thinking to yourself, they probably sur-
veyed a small group ofpeople who were well up in years and there-
fore had gradually lost their desire over time. And perhaps they
never even liked sex. Not so. The survey group consisted of 1,749
women and 1,410 men aged 18 to 59 who were actively engaged in
a sexual relationship. These weren't people who hadn't had sex in
—
years in fact, only those who reported at least one partner in the
prior twelve-month period were interviewed. Those who were sex-
ually inactive were excluded. Individuals who lived in group quarters
such as barracks, college dormitories, and prisons, as well as those
who don't speak Englishwell,were also excluded.The people in this
—
surveywere average Americans just like you.
TheLibidoBreakthrough
The authors of the study noted, the "experience ofsexual dys-
function is more likely among women and men with poor physical
and emotional health and overall well-being." Poor health and
. . .
lifestyle impair sexual health.
You may wonder why this is so important, what is the big deal?
The answer is threefold. First,ifyou have apartner,chances are,your
lack ofsexual desire is upsetting.Whether or not it is a topic ofcon-
versation between the two ofyou (or perhaps between your partner
and a friend), it most likely leaves your mate in a state ofconfusion,
anger,embarrassment,orfeelinginadequate. Second,whenyou don't
have a fulfilling sexlifewithyourpartner,you are missing out on one
— —
oflife's greatest pleasures. And third a plain, simple reason sex is
good for your health. (More on this in Chapter 2.)
Given the compelling data oftheJAMA study, what options do
we have to improve our sexual health? By now you've heard of
Viagra, and you're also aware ofsome ofits serious side effects. But
the American public, thirsty for information, wants solutions. Help
We
has arrived. have prepared an in-depth, up-to-date reviewofthe
— —
state ofsexual health inAmerica and mostimportant what to do
about it. The Libido Breakthrough examines the causes ofdecreased
sexual desire in men and women and provides a simple four-step
plan for recapturing sexual desire. It is the first book that takes a
comprehensive look at the research and gives you a step-by-step
plan to improve the sexual health ofyou and your mate.
Read on, and here's to your sexual health!
