Not For Men Only: Female Viagra As A Viable Solution?

All the books, educational videos, human sexuality courses, and even popular culture movies indicate it: men and women are different. But that doesn’t stop the motivation to get them together, get them communicating, and get the two seemingly opposite genders enjoying equally the same experiences. Especially when it comes to sex and sexuality. Female Viagra has been a craving for men even before they were consciously aware of the possibility of a pill to make women want to have sex. That is, female Viagra is a solution to a problem that might not exist as a physiological, sexual dysfunction. Physiological Needs of Women First, female Viagra is no more an aphrodisiac that gives a woman a female erection than male Viagra is a causal agent for a male erection. Viagra, the little blue pill developed and made available in 1988, is a chemical solution to erectile dysfunction in that it allows a man to become erect/aroused once he is stimulated. It does not cause the erection…it just makes it possible. Since women are built differently, and though they do have lower levels of testosterone to begin with, the issue is not so much whether or not she can be physically able to perform, then, but whether she is emotionally prepared to enjoy the overall performance. Psychological Needs of Women According to sexperts, female Viagra is called on for physical remedying, when in fact the problem is usually psychological: a woman can’t, doesn’t want to, or chooses not to engage in sexual experiences because she is tired, tense, angry, depressed, on drugs to treat depression or other psychological problems (drugs that lower libido), self-doubting her physical attractiveness, feeling the timing is wrong, too busy with jobs and kids and bills, or feeling

inappropriately pressured to have sex she isn’t ready to have or simply is not interested in having. Female Viagra, or it’s Equivalent, for the Rare Needs But sometimes, a kind of female Viagra is welcomed. It may be prescribed as a testosterone cream or marketed as an herbal arousal and enhancement oil. It may work to raise libido or enhance arousal in women. It may be chemical or natural. It may work a little, or not work at all. And it may be yet to be approved by the FDA or yet to be developed by scientists who have a dream of the passionate woman with the insatiable sex drive prototype—one that is fueled by female Viagra. But then again, if it’s not broken, why fix it?
