Can extra estrogen increase sex drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: It depends on whether you have an abnormally low estrogen. This could affect interest in sex indirectly (making sex difficult because of vaginal dryness for example). However generally estrogen is not strongly related to sex drive. In both men and women it appears that the hormone most linked to sex drive is testosterone. In women, of course, the levels of this hormone are much lower.
