And yet, too many folks choke on the fact of innate gender differences in libido. Feminists equate a lower sex drive with inferiority. Feminism equates a vigorous libido with a healthy, even dominant ego. (Joan Sewell)

Far from being a disorder, low libido is just the natural state of affairs for many women. (Bella Ellwood-Clayton)

So, I'm an AFAB non-binary person, and a lesbian. Is my opinion sufficiently valid for you?
From a sociological standpoint, I'd say that you really need to go back and take a closer look at your personal biases and assumptions about how sex and sexuality work both mentally and physically and the importance of cultural norms in shaping people's self-conceptions and physicality. You could do worse than take a crash course in Queer Theory.
You might also consider that women are frequently under-represented in research (both the doing and the participating) due to socio-economic, political, and cultural issues that may make them less available than men and frequently makes research by and about them less able to receive funding.
Interestingly, these are often similar reasons why women may end up with unsatisfactory sex lives.
You appear to think that women don't talk freely about sex or want good sex, or even any sex. I would respectfully suggest that you've not been interacting with a broad enough cross-section of women.
Alternatively, you've started from the perspective that women should have low-libidos and should not enjoy sex and are going to refuse to believe any evidence to the contrary. Somehow, I get the feeling that you'd also try and shame any woman who admitted to frequent orgasms, a strong libido, and a satisfying sex life because it would be too challenging to your position.
As for your complete lack of understanding of lesbians and our sexual practices... I don't even know where to start!

I have said many times in various places that lack of sufficient knowledge and consciousness and physical and mental illness are the root causes of most of the human unrest and problems.
One of the major reasons is the excessive sexual excitement of people. Uncontrollable intense libido is actually a symptom of illness. Abnormal sexual excitement is behind many disturbances, many incidents, criminal acts and complex problems of human society.
Just as the absolute necessity of mental development for true human development has been neglected, so too are people at a loss for remedies for this unbearable and overwhelming sexual urge which is caused by illness. In front of parents and society, the children and the new generation are going astray and downward towards destruction, yet nobody seems to do anything.
People are so disillusioned and their minds are so engrossed in superstition that even if you point your finger at them, they will not return.

Answer
If someone's sexual excitement becomes dangerous for that person and others in the society, then it must be called an illness. There can be many reasons behind this illness, such as the presence of toxins that irritate various body systems. These toxins can be self-acquired and/or inherited. Irregular lifestyle, abuse of the body and mental causes can also lead to the release of toxins from special endocrine glands in the body. These toxins can cause excessive sexual arousal.

PCOS is often only considered a problem in case the woman wants to get pregnant. In my field (sexuology) I often meet women that have libido-problems that might or might not be related to this syndrome. I know scientific evidence for this connection is at best ambiguous, but I wonder if there are collegues (endocinologists, gyneacologists,...) that have any helpfull insights, possible treatments,.... for these women.

Answer
PCOS can be associated with a reduction in libido in many women. This symptom is often discounted as the excess androgens are thought to increase libido. In reality, many women with PCOS suffer higher rates of depression. Women with depression often have a reduction in libido or orgasm issues. In addition, the depression is commonly treated with SSRIs which are known to cause sexual dysfunction, specifically, low libido, reduced ability to orgasm, and prolonged period of time to reach orgasm. While SSRIs impact dopamine, some other depression treatments may be associated with dopamine levels which can treat depression with a reduction in sexual side effects. PCOS is also associated with obesity which can result in fatigue, stress, and a reduction in a woman's psychological perceived sexuality. Insulin resistance is also associated with weight gain and leads to obesity. This can reduce one's interest in sexual activity. Managing insulin resistance and controlling blood sugar levels and weight may be strategies to combat low libido. Regular exercise and stress reduction exercises may also be helpful tools for some women.

I'm working with boars, specifically with animal behavior during training to collect semen.We analyze testosterone levels (blood) of these animals in order to relate the hormone levels and libido of males.
I wonder if there is a minimum level of testosterone for the manifestation of libido in boars.
Thank you.
Relevant answer
Answer
You may wish to measure estradiol-17B (E2) as well as testosterone. Several studies show that E2 may be involved in libido in boars, so the ratio may be important. Also, libido may be a 'learned' response, so the hormone concentrations during sexual development may be important for priming the learned response.
