Viagra for women?

[virgo]

It could happen. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,319419,00.html)


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va — A drug that could do for women what Viagra has done for men is being tested at the University of Virginia. The drug is a testosterone-laden ointment called LibiGel and it's intended to boost the libido of women who have lost interest in sex. It will be prescribed at UVa in coming months to women who are suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

The condition is believed to affect one-third of American women.
"It is the most common sexual problem that women have," said Dr. Anita Clayton, a psychiatrist with the UVa Health System and author of the 2007 book "Satisfaction: Women, Sex and the Quest for Intimacy."

UVa joins 99 other medical institutions participating in testing the drug's efficacy and safety.

"UVA" ?? Once upon a time that grand old university was renowned for its blue blood student body, and now ? It has lent its name to an experimental drug that claims to do what the "right" man cannot, eh ?

tsk-tsk

How and where is it applied? Can it be applied all over since it I assume is to be absorbed through the skin? I see some backrubs coming out of this...
Of course there is a cream already laden with testosterone but it has two problems at present...

Disclaimer! What is contained in the below section is not the sewing thread. NSFW verbage...(1) The woman generally do not want the "cream" applied in that manner:smt103
and
(2) When the man gets through applying the cream he generally is no longer interested...:-D

Sounds like Cleopatra's Secret cream.................. Comes in 6 flavors.

please don't tell my husband about this...

I think it's great. Doctors always minimize the importance of female sex drive.

Think birth control pills are great? Sure, they are! BUT...for many women, they Kill...and I mean KILL any desire for time in the bedroom. That is not a good side effect! It's denied by some doctors, but it's true...

It's times like this that you realize who's looking out for you. I have a friend in Butterball.:-D I need to attend a refresher course on this thing call having sex. Maybe it'll help me remember which arm it's under.Otherwise I'll be looking for sex in all the wrong places. :kekeke:

If I can keep up with mine, you'd think others could keep up with theirs. Which reminds me, I ordered the last known book by Hugh Hefner "50 Years of Playboy Cartoons." Sucker weighs 6lbs. It's a coffee table size book and it's funny. But the artwork in that book is fantastic. Never be another Gahan Wilson or Vargas. $50 book I paid $14.95 for. Discontinued.

[CircusRide]

Similar drugs are already out there. I've got a friend who was dating a girl that used it. He's says it created some strange side effects but it worked.

Flavors? Bummer. Now they're screwing up a good thing.

[58ford]

I've never run in to a woman with this problem.
Of course I have heard that some women after experiencing a "fordgasm" have trouble settling for average men.

[Pop]

Where did I leave my "waders" it's getting deep in here!!!!

V Non-sewing thread below VAs far as I know I only come in one flavor.... Maybe if I drank a lot of chocolate milk? What do you think?

Whatever happened to Niagra? They used to sell that as a female equivalent to Viagra.

I've also heard that giving a woman Viagra, or the like, gets them pretty hot & bothered. I can't say from experience, though. But I can tell you what Cialis does for me. :-D I think it's great. Doctors always minimize the importance of female sex drive.

Bad side effect, yes. But it certainly does help prevent pregnancy.

[Luvia]

Bad side effect, yes. But it certainly does help prevent pregnancy.

Well sure it does...my point is that if a side effect to a MALE birth control caused erectile dysfunction...I doubt very seriously doctors would prescribe it. People surely wouldn't take it.

That example may be extreme, but I've heard women say their husbands won't use condoms because "it doesn't feel good". Umm.
I've heard plenty of men complain about condoms too.

How is that fair?

That was my point...our sex drive is minimized. Sure we can still *have* it...so it's seen as a non-issue, but that's not how I want to live, man.

I'm sorry. Sex drive and enjoyment are important!!!

[fuzzis]

If we still had rep around, that would have certainly been a rep-worthy post. :clap::clap:

[Dixie Tree Slayer]

Absolutely!!! And then place her on a pedestal!!! Nothing like enjoy the aspects of life!!!

Niagra ?? NO kiddin' ?? Pfff-tt, and to think, I've been using the stuff to spray-starch my cotton shirts and jeans . . . .

I was being goofy, Luvia. Making light of a relatively serious set of circumstances. That's just my way.

Maybe I'm just weird, but there's nothing more gratifying (or hot, for that matter) than a woman getting hers. Makes y'all happy. Boosts our egos. If you're a screamer, it gets us the respect of the neighbors. Definitely something worth taking care of. ;)

[IGID]

But I can tell you what Cialis does for me. :-D Is that the one that say's you can have a erection for 4 hours and you're girlfriend will have to go to the hospital?

[Blockhead]

Haha. Something like that.

If hearing a woman say "Oh, Jesus! Not again!" sounds entertaining, go get yourself some Cialis. That stuff is lethal.

[firefly]

What y'all are refering to regarding an ehem, soldier standing at attention for 4 hours, is called priapism & it can have very dire consequences if not taken care of in an ER!:smt118

[Blockhead]

Yeah, but it's like driving a nail through a really sturdy piece of wood. You just gotta beat on it a little harder.

Seriously, though. I think that may be for dummies who take too many. I took 2 in 3 days, and that was too many for me. I didn't get the 4 hour, call the friggin' doctor reaction. But long after me and my lady were ready to call it a night, Mr. Happy kept finding his 2nd wind. 2nd wind, 6th wind. Whatever. Daddy was tired.

Ok this begs the question Firefly... What does the ER do to "alleviate" the situation?:confused:

[IGID]

I've heard they stick a needle in it to drain some blood out. Or maybe that's what they tell you and it goes down by itself.

[firefly]

I am not sure, because that wasn't my area of expertise in the hospital. I am cardiac. Anyway, they would have to reverse the engorged blood vessels. If the person does not get to the doctor & get the help, it (the engorged vessels) can actually constrict the circulation to the member & if that happens, sometimes it cannot be saved(think Lorena Bobbitt).:smt118 In other words, it would die & become necrotic & would have to be amputated, & that would be the end of that, IYKWIM!:smt103

So if you find yourself and your spouse in a heated disagreement she could take matters to task by slipping a mickey (three or four of them pills in your cofee perhaps) on you and then tie him up???:smt103 Keep him "aroused" but unsatisied... Then wait for him to "flame out" hours later....
Oh man this is a bad script from a bad movie!!!
Cheaters beware!!! Now your spouse has chemical help... Who will the next Lorena Bobbit be that uses this chemical knife???:ohnoes::ohnoes::ohnoes::ohnoes:

I feel very strongly that I would be cured by the end of that consultation.

Ummm.. Dare I ask what the side affects were? Not like hair on the chest or anything huh??? :smt118

Honey is running for the door. "Move out of my way! I got to get out of here!"

Anyone heard of EDAM?

[IBB]

Oh mercy no!

[Honey]
