I could see it as possibly related. Unfortunately, the sample size is much too small.
True, it does vary from person to person. However, there are various themes that tend to happen. For girls, we usually have reduction in sex drive post-estrogen. Interestingly enough, there seems to be an extremely common theme there: sex drive drops to zero, then it bounces back up but when it goes back up, it's a more comfortable 'up' vs what it was before.
And, yeah, guys generally get a stronger sex drive with testosterone. I've heard some very 'interesting' stories that revolve around that (Lee is a little scared of what it will do to him; me, it's one of the things I'm kinda looking forward to).
But in the end, it is a generalization and I can't expect it to apply to every last person. Room does always need to be made for individual deviations.
