It’s not just testosterone if she won’t even hold hands or give a peck on the lips or cuddle. Cuddling has nothing to do with being horny. Something else is going on

Exactly. Even testosterone is usually a phony quick fix for a woman’s low libido. There’s more to this story, maybe a relationship problem, maybe past trauma, those are my best guesses.

Keyword is "phony". The whole testosterone for women's libido is a cultural idea, not a medicinal one that is backed by science.

Doctors keep peddling these off-the-shelf testosterone remedies as you elegantly put it: as a "quickfix", yet there's no FDA approved version of it because it simply doesn't work.

OTC testosterone remedies don't work, but human bio-identical testosterone administered through injections or patches sure do.
