Female Viagra Doesn’t Work

Bad news, ladies. We got the short end of the sex-stick again. HEY! Get your mind out of the gutter! We’re in science class now!

I’m talking about “flibanserin,” the drug toted as the new female Viagra, promised to up sex drive and enhance experience. According to multiple studies, the drug is a bust, and in fact may have cause more harm than good.

In the study, both the subjects given a placebo and those given the drug claimed to have had “more sexually satisfying events” occur, but neither group experienced any sort of increase in sex drive. And worse — in the group that took the drug, 15% of them dropped out due to side effects like depression, fatigue, and fainting. So basically, not only were they still frigid prudes, but they were also angry and tired all the time. Awesome.*

Here’s a tip, whoever created this female Viagra: why not give it a name that doesn’t sound reminiscent to a flabby skin fold on an unshowered obese woman? I dunno, just a tip.

Read up on the depressing facts at the source.

* I can say that, because I’m a woman, and also it’s a joke. Just kidding ladies! No misogyny here!
