Viagra For Women

Time magazine recently ran an article on a pill for Female Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder. First I will paraphrase the article, and then I will share my comments.

Female Sexual Dysfunction: Myth or Malady?

Since the FDA approved Viagra for sexual dysfunction in men, drug companies have been searching for a drug to cure loss of libido in women. This most commonly diagnosed female sexual dysfunction known is referred to by doctors as hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).

Drug makers see the prospect of a multibillion-dollar blockbuster that could be even bigger than Viagra and its competitors combined.

A German pharmaceutical company recently announced that it had found a drug that works. “We saw an increase in sexually satisfying events, an increase in desire and a decrease in distress.”

Testosterone has been successfully used to increase libido in women with low testosterone.

Some psychologists say HSDD is a made up disorder.

Judy Norsigian, director of a women’s health advocacy, thinks the diagnosis of HSDD unnecessarily medicates women’s sexual lives. “Attempting to treat low libido with a pill ignores the fact that many women’s level of desire is deeply affected by everyday life stress and interpersonal relationships.”

Debby Herbenick, of the Kinsey Institute, raises an interesting question: “What we really have is a group of women who wonder why they don’t desire their long-term partner the way they used to. What happens if you suddenly do have desire, but it’s not for the person you hoped?”

Now for my comments:

It is wonderful that testosterone replacement therapy is available to women. In the book, “The Female Brain”, one female patient had accidentally been taking twice the prescribed dosage and had to masturbate hourly. And it would be wonderful if there could be a magic little pink pill for women with normal testosterone.

But the situations I see in my clients is more like the last two comments in the article. First of all, stress is a killer of libido in women. But more interestingly, women who lose all interest in sex with their husband, instantly and miraculously become very excited by the man they cheat with. In fact, they become horny as hell and highly orgasmic.

It’s the classic bad boy story that I have seen a thousand times over the past 17 years…

The bored married woman thinks there is something chemically wrong with her because she no longer has any sexual desire for her husband. The real problem is that her husband is a lame lover! Then a predatory bad boy notices her discontent. He senses her subconscious signals, betraying her, exposing her desire for romantic stimulation. He approaches like a charming gentleman, fulfilling her need to feel beautiful and desired, and hooks her in. She becomes enthralled in her new sense of feeling alive. She wants more, he gives more, she gives more. She surrenders and experiences unbridled passion. Then she is addicted.

No pill required.

However, she is going to need anti-depressants when she finds out the charming gentleman is nothing but a lying cheating jerk.

Take the lesson from the bad boys:
They know how to ignite a woman. Do what they do right.
But they don’t know how to keep a woman. Don’t make the mistakes they can’t help but make.

You can be far more powerful than any bad boy, or even any magic pill. Discover how in my book, “The Secrets of Female Sexuality”
