The brain of women with reduced libido reacts differently compared to that of ladies whose sexual desire is normal, scientists explain. Research conducted by experts at Wayne State University shows that the brains of women with reduced libido show different reactions than usual. According to the authors, this is evidence that hypoactive sexual desire disorder is a physiological problem and not simply a reluctance resulting from umrah, low self-esteem or loss of interest in a partner, writes The Telegraph. The study included 26 women of childbearing age, 19 of whom were diagnosed with hypoactive sexual desire disorder. During the experiment, the volunteers watch video material for half an hour, in which erotic and completely neutral scenes alternate. At the same time, the scientists recorded the brain activity of the women by means of MRI. Scientists have found that when women with different levels of libido think about sex, different brain areas are activated. In women with normal sexual desire, the upper part of the frontal lobe is activated, while in those with hypoactive sexual desire disorder, the area in the lower part of the same brain lobe is most active.
