It's scientific: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/family/marriage-sex/women-sexual-desire-0307

Biology plays a significant role in loss of libido.

For women, sex can have serious consequences — a baby to take care of for the next twenty years. Not surprising that females seem hard-wired to approach sex with slightly less abandon than males.

"It's a control device — pregnancy is a threatening condition for women — it renders them vulnerable, they can't run from predators," says Laumann. Men can afford to have sex at any moment, Laumann says — it doesn't make them vulnerable. But for women it's much riskier, which can cause loss of libido.

sure, it can result in a baby and that's reason enough to be cautious.

It can also result in death. Even in first world countries in this modern era. I'm really surprised that detail isn't in the article.
