GD1,
First, you make the comment that men EXPECT their women to turn them down. Actually, I never expected my wife to become LD. I never really expected to be rejected as often as I have. Since my wife has lost her desire, THAT IS A PERSONAL REJECTION OF ME. Men are SUPPOSED to be able to please a woman, that is really the whole point of making love. A wifes rejection of her man is JUST as serious as the other way around. I would consider either situation to be REALLY bad.

I believe to that before these couple were given their treatments, that BOTH women said they would leave.

As for normal expectations, the worst one of these is women who just assume that womens sex drives diminish. From reading these boards, it has become clear to me that while a good share of women do lose their sex drives, there are many HD women on here that would LOVE to have sex 3 times a week, even later in life. What I would like to know is why do half the women have desires that plumet out of sight, while the other haf keep theirs. Course the same is true on the male side, but it just does not happen with same frequency.
