decreased sexual satisfaction in women is not clearly associated with cardiovascular disease

We know that erectile dysfunction is a manifestation of cardiovascular disease and can predict events such as heart attacks and stroke. Well, researchers decided to take a peek at post menopausal women and the correlation of heart disease and sexual dissatisfaction.

“Our study of sexually active postmenopausal women found dissatisfaction with sexual activity was not predictive of incident cardiovascular disease which may be due to physiological differences in sexual functioning between men and women, or to difficulty measuring sexual dysfunction in women,” added McCall-Hosenfeld.

This is a good thing I suppose. At least the women will feel safe in knowing that their displeasure with sex will not lead to a heart attack. But they will also have to get to the root of their issue, which is sometimes very frustrating.
