We’ve heard enough about male sexual enhancers and “magic” pills like Viagra and others, but why isn’t there such buzz about female sexual enhancers?
Well, that’s because for men sex is mostly a physical/mechanical activity that only requires a hard-on. That can be easily achieved with the help of drugs. In women, however, things are more complicated when it comes to sexual activity. Some physiological and psychological factors, like hormones and mental state, can affect a woman’s libido levels. There have been many studies and clinical analyses, dozens of which were funded by drug companies, that tried to understand what factors may affect female sexual ability and performance, but none of those studies provided definite answers.
Since the outstanding success of impotence drugs for men, dozens of pharmaceutical firms have been constantly trying to make a female Viagra pill with their eyes on the millions of dollars that can be made by selling such a pill to the many sexually insecure women all around the world.
The last attempt for a female version of the top seller Viagra was by the German drugmaker Boehringer Ingelheim, which developed a medication called flibanserin and concluded that it can help women boost their libido. Flibanserin was initially developed as an antidepressant, but it was later found to positively affect female sexual desire and treat a condition of female sexual dysfunction known as Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD).
However, we won’t be seeing this new pill (flibanserin) in the market or TV ads because the FDA has disapproved flibanserin concluding that the benefits do not outweigh the side effects/risks of the drug.
That’s just another failed attempt to obtain the green light from the FDA for a “little pink pill”. More similar trials by pharma companies should continue, but will there ever be a “miraculous” pill for ladies with its pros outweighing its cons? Or, a more proper question would be: will women ever really need such a pill to enjoy their sex lives?
