Female Libido Booster Gets Federal Approval
Daily Caller ^ | 6-5-15 | Casey Harper

America will never be the same.

The Food and Drug Administration voted Thursday to recommend approval for a drug that would increase a woman’s sex drive, The New York Times reports.

The drug, Flibanserin, is a pink pill meant to be taken daily. It had been denied two times by the FDA, but the third time was the charm. The drug makers have been directed to work to lower the drug’s side effects, which can include sleepiness, low blood pressure, nausea, fainting and dizziness.

After the second refusal from the FDA, a group of advocates rallied around the little pink pill. They founded a group called “Even The Score” and began gathering signatures on a petition.

The pill had been rejected in 2010 and 2013. The women who participated in the trial found they had only one more “sexually satisfying event” per month as women on the placebo.

Evidently this drug has some side effects and efficacy was tenuous.
I’ve found money is the most potent aphrodisiac to the females I’ve studied.

drug’s side effects, which can include sleepiness, low blood pressure, nausea, fainting and dizziness.

The women who participated in the trial found they had only one more “sexually satisfying event” per month as (sic) women on the placebo.

Surely the main concern is how many "sexually satisfying events" the male participants had, while the women enjoyed sleepiness, low blood pressure, nausea, fainting, and dizziness.

I wonder where the funding came from.

This pill brought to you by the Clinton Foundation...

Like Old Bubba doesn’t have a conflict of interest in seeing a female horny pill come to market in time for his wife to get them back to government housing...

What a lot of guys don’t get (because women don’t tell them) is that the whole day is foreplay for the woman. Work the honey-do list, treat her with respect, help her with stuff (especially the stuff she hates) and she will be jumping all over you by the end of the day.

That last line is only a slight exaggeration.

When did it become apparent that women needed a "horny pill"? - I can just see some old, flabby group of 70 something males sitting in a conference room saying " Fella's, who else ain't getting any action from your 30 something trophy wives? - lets make em horny . . "

Women nowadays have never been hotter for sex - they want to be just like the media portrayals of them

Jeff Foxworthy has an excellent skit about side-effects of prescription drugs.

"There are so many drugs out there. They advertise this prescription stuff, and I swear, nine times out of ten, the side-effects are fifty times worse than what the thing cures.

It's like, "Try new Fluorofluor. For itchy, watery eyes, it's Fluorofluor.

Side effects may include: nausea, vomiting, water weight gain, lower back pain, receding hairline, eczema, seporiasoriasis, itching, chafing clothing, liver spots, blood clots, ringworm, excessive body odor, uneven tire wear, pyorrhea, gonorrhea, diarrhea, halitosis, scoliosis, loss of bladder control, hammertoe, the shanks, low sperm count, warped floors, cluttered drawers, hunchback, heart attack, low resale value on your home... feline leukemia, athlete's foot, head lice, clubfoot, MS, MD, VD, fleas, anxiety, sleeplessness, drowsiness, poor gas mileage, tooth decay, parvo, warts, unibrow, lazy eye, fruit flies, chest pains, clogged drains, hemorrhoids, dry heaving and sexual dysfunction."

I'm watching it, going, "You know what? I'll just have itchy, watery eyes..."

Other than an unlimited credit card or $1 million in cash, how can limitless orgasms be a bad thing? That is the reason for a female libido booster isn't it?

It's like starting a cranky diesel engine. By the time you get the glow plugs hot enough, there's not enough juice left in the battery to turn the starter.
