I'm not sure that's true; it's possible for a woman to desperately want a baby, but still have a low libido and have little interest in sex just for fun.

- mensetmanusman 2y agoLow libido is evolutionarily informed to also signal that now is not the right time to procreate. In this light, it’s not surprising that hormonal birth control, which tells the body it can’t have a baby now, very often reduces libido.
- GordonS 2y agoEven without female birth control pills, it can be the case.
- Detrytus 2y agoYes, but usually one baby is enough to satisfy that drive, which is not enough to keep the population from shrinking. And recently some women decide to have 0 babies, and settle for a dog or cat instead. I've heard them using terms like "dog-child" or "cat-child", or "cross-species family" :)
- mensetmanusman 2y agoNot usually, sometimes. The amount of ‘usually’ depends on the amount of hormone alteration happening, naturally or unnaturally.
- willcipriano 2y agoOften a higher libido will be presented until the ink is dry on the marriage certificate and the first child is born and then suddenly drop off. Many such cases.
- foobarbecue 2y agoNot just possible; I think it's common. Also looking at what women endure for IVF it's clear to me that the need to have a child to nurture is often extremely powerful.
