Here is almost the full paper of the study (I did not review this):

This continues from our conversation in the Objectification thread. I think an entirely separate thread is a good idea.
I think it is important to note that, at least from my perspective, women in Western society CAN remain interested in sex just as much as the beginning of the relationship if they are in a healthy relationship, maintain a decent and healthy lifestyle, and have decent mental health.
I personally feel that part of the problem with why women lose their libido is the men don't seem to try as much in the relationship.
Lemme give you a specific example:
I hear and read, all the time, from dudes that say something similar to the following: "Don't marry her, dude! Do you want the BJs to stop? Once you marry her, she won't give you BJs!" Well...on further inspection of the relationship, they also stop with the random surprise gifts (could be anything...not just a physical object but a surprise romantic picnic and so forth...gift is very ambiguous in this use, here). Research also says they give far fewer compliments. Basically, it looks like they don't try very much in the relationship, anymore. And they wonder why their female companions are not motivated to give them BJs? A relationship works much better when both parties are actively reciprocating love and affection for each other: not one side unilaterally demanding from the other (as I often see my male friends and acquaintances in Oklahoma doing...but Oklahoman males seem to be...a bit behind and archaic in their view of women).
Anyway, while I find that study's results to be interesting, I think the study's results at least partially reflect societal issues and not just evolution-stuff.
What are you thoughts on this study?
What are your thoughts on the conclusions they state in the article regarding the study?
What are you thoughts on my commentary (am I wrong in my perspectives, does my position need to be matured a bit, am I spot-on, etc.) regarding this study?
I'm very interested, especially, in the thoughts from our female posters. Maybe you have some anecdotes or experiences that confirm or contradict the study?
