Female viagra 'to get the green light'... but drug is still plagued with safety risks
Daily Mail ^ | 8/16/15 | Louise Eccles

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.

My ex would have needed an IV drip. Even if Sam Elliot were kissing her neck.

The same with my wife...(sigh)

this may lead to an epidemic of world-wide nymphomania (a product of the brain’s pleasure center)

If there is a risk of the pills effects lasting for over 4 hours some dudes are going to die!

Viagra lowers blood pressure so the BP meds might be superfluous, anyway.

He avoids Hollywood and all it entails.

Those TV paparazzi caught him walking through a parking lot and started bugging him about what he was doing in Hollywood, that day.

The interviewer asked “Were you getting a mani-pedi?”

Sam replied, in *that voice*...”WTF is a ‘mani-pedi?’” and then stomped off.

Love that guy.

If I weren’t so lazy, I’d Google it.

Seems it was a pill created for something else, entirely and they discovered that...uh...”side effect” accidentally.

Which is pretty freaky, if you picture it.

I recall reading that, yes. I don’t need to picture turgid tallywhackers, though. I prefer clams.

Complaints from the night nurses or what?

Its not even remotely akin to Viagra

And I have my doubts as to its effectiveness

Pop a pill and middle aged and menopausal women revert to 20 something pregnancy lust instinct level horniness?

My brother had one like that....hed wake up at 4am and she’d be sitting over him staring at him sleeping.....man....I get goose bumps.....but of course she was hot as a pistol

I have my doubts

Quaaludes might work but if you look around America.....well....it’s pretty damn sad

You can tell the ones who give shite after mid 30s really quick and they are a pronounced minority

Men just endure or they cheat if the wife loses interest

I have a feeling this quandary is not new

No matter how much we talk and dope we conjure up when it comes to sex unless a woman wants a baby in her bad.....she is just not on average want sex as much as the man at any age really

I’ve known a few exceptions and I’m sure plenty freeper gals will tell me they are..lol

I don’t know one guy over 50 with a wife in his age group complaining she wants too much sex and I doubt one pill will fix it

Lol

I mean really am I the only man here who has been educated in learning how complicated the female urge has to be

It can require planetary alignment and another time they go Debbie Does Dallas for no apparent reason

Fickle fickle creatures I will never really understand

They have a hard time maintaining contentment......especially during the change.....it’s a beast

I have my doubts on this pill

Viagra for men simple enhances nitrous oxide uptake in the spongey tissue along penis length resulting in more blood flow and more dramatic local valve closing resulting in better and longer erection

Viagra will direct more blood to the lady parts vulva etc but they doesn’t do squat with horniness

But it could help sensitivity and orgasms

But again as grown ups know.....female orgasms are complicated and vary

From mildly elusive to many many......

The mind is a much much bigger player in this whole drama with girls

Speaking of drama....lol....u ever plan the big night...go to a lot of trouble everything perfect and you can say just one innocent thing that irritates a woman and it’s done......the best you can hope for is obligatory cold assed loving but likely your night is over before it started

Ain’t no pill gonna fix all that.....

Even the great ones are a challenge....

But in life’s cruel tricks......wouldn’t you know it.....crazy assed women who might stab you in your sleep

Are usually no problem in bed.....they are like thoroughbreds begging to be let on the track

But they are nutty with that look so n their eyes like horses get as you exit their peripheral vision

/rant
