Lil Pink Pill. ...question for the married Gentlemen.. Female Viagra

26 posts in this topic

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/06/05/business/panel-backs-a-drug-to-increase-womens-sex-drive.html?referrer=

With the FDA giving somewhat approval to the Lil Pink Pill today, I'm wondering about the thoughts of the Gentlemen here. Would the married Gents explore this with their SO? Would this be something you would be willing to do? I'm curious as to the male perspective on possible female viagra.

We've got a thread on Viagra going for men so how about one for the LADIES.

Thanks in advance

Here's a link with a Parody Video ad, which I like, released last year http://eventhescore.org/even-the-score-coalition-releases-video-parody-of-viagra-spot-highlighting-absurdity-of-continued-gender-inequity-in-sexual-health/

Yes!!!! I think Lil Pink Pill is awesome! I'm happy to know girls are going to have some help when needed.

I don't think any normal man would oppose to her SO taking the pill when she feels she needs it... on the contrary!

Lets see if I understand this. My partner (in or out of the hobby) can take a pill that will enhance their enjoyment. ABSOLUTELY!!! Its about damn time the ladies have "enhancers" for themselves as well.

Count your days ladies. They are numbered. When all the horny wives take care of their men, you ladies will be looking for a new career.:P

As of yesterday, the FDA had not approved the drug. The advisory committee approved it. The FDA usually follows the committee recommendation.

Or maybe More Women will want to explore Their Sexuality. I would enjoy that

IMO, don't think the possible approval nor availability will hurt this business. There will always be clients and providers available for those clients.

Thus, the sky is not falling and I personally would love more women playing either with a paid pro, lover or their SO. Sex and O's make the world a Happier place.

It seems that only pre menopausal women can take it so we should only lose a few clients :P

IF I had a SO with decreased desire I might suggest that she try it. I did read the article and it is only marginally to maybe mildly effective. It may work on only 10 to 20%. It has been declined before due to the numerous potential side effects like vomiting. That would not be so good with UTF! Talk about GAGGING....

So I am sure that you ladies really have nothing to worry about in losing your chosen profession.

The problem is that it's not for help "when needed." it is my understanding that the woman is supposed to take the pill EVERY DAY, potentially for years. That alone makes it likely an expensive, impractical, and possibly hazardous drug (unfortunately), since we don't know the long-term effects.

Inkspot is right. A lot (not all) guys would NOT participate in the hobby, mostly because they would not START. I agree that there's a "genie out of the bottle" phenomenon once a guy starts, but I would have never started if the wife's desire did not dry up at home. Not a chance.

You are right! I did some searching and this is what I found:

How it works

Unlike Viagra, which helps men get and keep an erection by directing blood flow to that area of the body, this new drug, called flibanserin, is designed to help boost a woman's psychological desire for sex. In order to do that, this drug is taken daily and, over time, can affect the levels of certain chemicals in the brain.

I disagree, everyone enjoys a little bit of strange now and then. The number of guys doing this for the variety probably outnumbers the guys who aren't getting it at home. The eternal flame that is the desire for sex and intimacy will keep this business thriving as long as humans exist.

Whenever you use the word "everyone" you are heading down a rough road because we are all different and should not be painted with same broad brush. I'm sure you don't like being lumped in with "every" provider, so I can tell you that not "everyone" enjoys a little bit of strange. I did not want strange until I was DRIVEN to strange.

Even years after the sex went away, I did not make a move toward a paid lady for a LONG time. The idea that I would have started in the midst of a satisfying sex life is absurd (for me). For others, no doubt, it would NOT be absurd. I just would never have started, and thus this world be totally alien, just as it was for virtually my entire life.

I'll be a happy camper if I can get my wife to be in the mood more often. But it won't change her very limited menu. As I'm beginning to say often, there's no putting this genie back in the bottle.

This is one area where M & F are generally quite different, equality proponents be damned.

The Blue Pill helps with mechanical issues; desire & drive are already there. But for women the real problem seems to be a mood issue; the mechanical issues can be handled with creams & gels. The related drugs are either psychotropic or hormone based, both of which cause other issues.

Truer words were never written. Was it Billy Crystal who said: "Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place."

It was a long (5+ years) progression from 'sex is painful' through 'remedies are troublesome' and "I'm not interested" to "Why are you interested?" Deathly afraid of hormone treatments because hormone treatments are what got us to the beginning of this slippery slope. She suggested I have an affair, buying into the stories about the evils of the sex trade. But I preferred escorts because I didn't want to detract from the loving relationship we still had.

Yes indeed. I understand. Does she know and approve of your participation in the hobby now? Just tell me to go to hell if you'd rather not answer that. Just curious.

The "more often" with this pill ain't a whole lot: the report I heard on the "pink pill" is that the women who took it had sex one more time a month than the women in the control group who took a placebo. The reason this pill hasn't been previously approved is for the simple reason that there isn't much "bang for this buck", especially recognizing some women will get adverse side effects from taking it.

This would make an interesting poll as to how many guys started in the hobby because sex had dried up at home or wanted "strange". There is a third group, no doubt, of those where sex hadn't totally dried up at home but became less frequent and this was enough to make the guy search for more. For me, sex became less frequent and I wanted something different. As I said before, I was in a "same sex marriage": after 35 years of monogamy you can bet sex was always the same!

I need to read this book. Maybe a little morose but it's a beautiful quote. As long as you can still see those islands I bet the water doesn't seem as cold and dark.

Eh, nice metaphor, I just don't agree with it. To refer to periods of monogamy as the periods of "happiness" ignores the long-period of sexual boredom within the period of monogamy. And I don't agree with the time between the islands of monogamy as the "cold dark sea of disappointment". It's only disappointing if expectations are not met, such as the world of dating where the goal is to fall in love and have great sex forever with the person you love. If you don't find that special someone, you experience disappointment.

In the hobby world, from my perspective as a client, I rarely experience disappointment, as the sex is almost always great and I'm only looking for this and some sense of friendship-level connection, which I usually find. While there is a time in one's life whencc monogamy feels right, over time I think for most guys who are biologically designed to inseminate "the herd", it becomes a goal unto itself that gets progressively more difficult to maintain. It's like running a marathon: you know sometime during the run your body wants you to stop but you continue on in hope of accomplishing the painful goal of finishing. Of course, doing this in a day and having it over and one with is one thing, running the "race for monogamy" over your adult life is unnaturally repressive for most males. I know I finally "hit the wall" before the race was over! I believe most long-term relationships for the more naturally promiscuous male suffer bfrom what I call the "tyranny of monogamy", the goal to finish the race with your monogamy remaining intact. This becomes a defining goal unto itself and we revel in our success to repress. You can be successful with this progressively difficult goal, but in whose interest is it when you finish your life having accomplished this goal? You have demonstrated your great self-control and if that brings great satisfaction, all is fine. For the majority of guys, and I suspect a fair number of women, exploring your sexual nature is liberating and is a laudable goal, just not laudable in our sexually repressive society.

I interpreted the "islands" as the initial infatuation period of a relationship. For me that was the first year or two, followed by the cold dark sea until the relationship ended. The quote is on the morose side, but I really had to laugh when I first read it.

I had been in monogamous relationships with very short periods in between since I was 17.
