How Women Can Boost Their Sexual Desire

A unhappy couple lying apart in bedNot in the mood for sex? You’re not alone – women are having less boom in the bedroom than movies and magazines would have us believe. Drug companies have long tried to make a drug that can fire up a woman’s libido. So far, the FDA hasn’t approved any drug for that purpose. Still, there are effective treatments, and they don’t all come in a bottle.

The first step is to find out what’s going on.
