P&G: Study shows female patch works

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Cincinnati Enquirer

Procter & Gamble Co. today unveiled a new study that it said shows its Intrinsa female testosterone patch effectively increases sexual activity and desire in post-menopausal women. The study covered 562 women, who showed a 74 percent increase in the frequency of satisfying sexual activity, P&G said.

P&G's Mason-based pharmaceutical unit is developing Intrinsa, which is in the final level of clinical trials. P&G has not yet applied to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market the patch.

P&G and the lead investigator Dr. James Simon of George Washington University presented the study to the American College of Ostetricians and Gynecologists this week. Analysts have called Intrinsa one of the most exciting new products P&G has under development.

Shares in P&G closed at $106.79, up $1.04.

Why was this product developed? Women aren't going to use it anyway.

Does it cure headaches?

Women aren't going to use it anyway.

We need it in a tasteless, odorless powder form.

See post #5. A lot of men will buy it for wives and girl friends.

What they failed to mention...is the fact...that the one guy they used for the test subjects....is dead.

Ok, now a joke: What food can you give a woman just once and make her not want to have sex ever again?

Answer: Wedding cake

Ok, don't yell at me, its a joke. Well, kinda, sort of.

"...who showed a 74 percent increase in the frequency of satisfying sexual activity."

How is this measured? Any by whom? I suggest a focus group organized by the Intrinsa product manager and staff.

"Procter & Gamble: Study Shows Female Sex Desire Patch Works"

So it’s news that female sex desire is a “patchwork”?

At the end of the Rush Limbaugh show today he was poking fun at the commercials that promote male enhancement. Whoever the lady was on the show said something about the one commercial that warns about erections that last longer than 4 hours needing medical attention.

She thought that was highlighted in the commercial NOT because of the real warning, but as one more really hard-sell pitch at men. She was probably right.
