A)Although some declines in desire and arousal are normal with age, a total or near-total lack of interest in sex is not typical and is likely indicative of a larger problem. A diagnosis of female sexual interest/arousal disorder may be appropriate when a woman experiences decreased or absent sexual thoughts, interest in sexual activity, mental or physical feelings of arousal, and/or pleasurable sensation during sexual activity at least 75% of the time for a period of 6 months or more.
