Ladies, Do You Want Viagra for Females

***Warning, this My Health Monday post is more explicit than a typical day on PFL***

Would you be surprised if I told you that a common question amongst 30 – 40 year old women for me has to do with decreased libido?

I actually generated this post after reading a post about the FDA’s recent rejection of a Dopamine pill that increases female sexual libido. I found the discussion on the post less than intelligent so I decided to draft a conversation topic for the PFL community.

flibanserin

Flibanserin is the subject of discussion because it’s the latest rejection in the LONG journey toward a “female viagra”.

Studies show that 10- 20% of women struggle with HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder which basically means a woman who is otherwise healthy has a lacking libido, or a lack of sexual desire).

It was basically rejected because the benefits did not outweigh the risk and side effects. You can read more about that here.

Why They Will Continue to Struggle

Women are intimate with the mind more so than straight physical.

I hear women all the time trying to speak in the manner of man “A f*xk is just a f*ck”, YES I’ve been told that, but do I believe them….ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Women who try to operate as men, will end up psychologically challenged for lack of a better term.

That is why men can pop a pill (Viagra) that increases blood flow to the penis and all is well.

Drug companies are struggling to find the female equivalent because we are intimate with our BRAIN!!! You can’t go messing with chemicals in the brain without affecting something else in the way we operate and think.

OPTIONS

Testosterone – Many women have tried this but the deep voices and hair growth are less than desirable.

Reading - This advice is not from a pharmaceutical perspective, but actually from conversations that were generated after pharmaceutical questions were discussed. I have actually been told first hand that books like 50 Shades of Grey have helped women increase their libido.

I have another option for you too. Stay tuned for Wednesday!

I know there may be crickets in the comments today, but if you are brave enough, let me hear from you!
