3. Female sexual arousal disorder is characterized by the complete lack of interest in sexual activity. Psychological as well as biological factors contribute to the etiology of this disorder. Low serum testosterone is a biological etiological factor for the development of this disorder. Estrogen levels are not linked to this disorder. Decreased, not increased, serum dopamine may be an etiological factor. Testosterone is an androgen hormone and a decrease, not increase, in androgen levels may contribute to the development of this disorder.
