Abstract
Many clinicians presently recognize that low sexual desire (LSD) is an extremely complex problem to evaluate and treat. Several hypotheses have been developed to explain the characteristics of subjects presenting LSD. In the present research a comparison was done between subjects with and without LSD. The results indicate that subjects with LSD have problems with marital adjustment and present a moderate level of anxiety and a low level of depression.Keywords
