Listening to the Michael Baisden show

They said that "studies show...women in commited relationships...libido is lowered"

Believe that?
Why / Why not?

Here's one study.

Real love really has nothing to do with sex.

They are saying that soon as you get in a committed situation, all of sudden your desire for sex gets lowered.

maybe they are hinting...saying that women change after that ring is on?

These days it seems like people are doing whatever they can to heat things up but on the radio...there were a few callers admitting that they fall into this category.

i think that it depends on the individual relationship and the demands placed within it.

if you are newly married and have a newborn and have to work 40-50 hours a week and you have to take care of the house and your hubby still hangs out at night and plays the play station: yeah, you're libido is gonna be affected. but if you're in a true partnership, it shouldn't be an issue.
