I do wonder what drives the indifference, or what is lacking when it comes to generating interest in the medical community. I'm quite sure some doctors are onto this but I, too, have had no luck engaging either my excellent GP or oncologist in a conversation about my shrivelled bits. Their attitude seems to be 'Let's worry about that later.' As far as I'm concerned it is later, verging on too late.
Are the drug companies being dismissive-- ''That doesn't happen often and it's a small price to pay. Our studies (no self interest there) show..."
Or perhaps the idea of (in my case) fat old women wanting to have sex is really disturbing. Fat old men are, of course, entitled to what ever pleasures appeal to them and should be agrieved when denied. We should just stop being disgusting.
Sigh, I know that would be a ridiculously sexist thing to suggest. But that's how it feels.
