Sex drive is dependent on androgen levels only in the presence of estrogen, but without estrogen, free testosterone levels actually decreases sexual desire (instead of increases sex drive), as demonstrated for those women who have hypoactive sexual desire disorder. https://twitter.com/aproko_doctor/status/1151890872281247746">https://twitter.com/aproko_do...
