Saying low testosterone wil cause lowered libido is not the same as saying low libido means low testosterone.

All they are saying is that just because libido is low, does not necessarily mean your testosterone is low. There are many factors that influence libido, and it would not surprise me if in the general population the more significant fatcors did not include testosterone levels.

I'd say stress would be up there as a main factor. Other social factors too.
