A drug dubbed the ‘female Viagra’ is set to be approved by a US watchdog this week – paving the way for its arrival in the UK.

Industry experts claim flibanserin could be given the green light within days, making it the first officially sanctioned drug for low female sex drive on the market.

Unlike its male equivalent, the drug combats a flagging libido not by targeting the genitals but the pleasure centre of a woman’s brain, with women who took the pill every day in trials having sex more frequently and enjoying it more.

Females already have access to this.

It’s called money.

So?

The Pill can’t be taken safely, by 35% of women.

Depo-Pravera has risks beyond that for another 35% of women, and the FDA still approved that!

Can flibanserin overcome the greatest detriment to a woman’s enjoyment of sex—wedding cake.?

Get fit and get real is advice that floats all boats.

I must be a pessimist because I just KNOW all the wrong people are going to take this. Think the beyatches from “the View” x 1,000,000. A country full of horny Roseanne’s Rosie’s and Whoopis lying in wait like the National Geographic crocodiles during the wildebeest migration.

Wedding cake should be outlawed. That’s the food that destroys a woman’s sexual appetite.

Hubby’s BP pills kill his libido deader than a do-do bird. And No ED pill can fix that. Just frustrates him. Now he’s down with a new shoulder ball surgery.

I once mixed up my Viagra with Niagara and I couldn't stop peeing for days.
