Abstract
This article discusses the scientific debate surrounding the appropriateness of pharmacological interventions aimed at increasing female desire. The analysis of this debate shows how preferences for a given definition of desire, different ways of operationalizing it, as well as diagnosing and treating low levels of it are clearly motivated by a particular worldview. It also shows how selectively interpreted empirical data are used to produce ‘knowledge about desire’ that supports a specific value system or serves particular ends.
