Comments on: Should Women Have “Pink Viagra” for Low Sex Drive? http://www.thebuehlerinstitute.com/blog/2008/03/13/should-women-have-pink-viagra-for-low-sex-drive/ Sexuality And Intimacy For Men, Women And Couples Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:49:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: TomH http://www.thebuehlerinstitute.com/blog/2008/03/13/should-women-have-pink-viagra-for-low-sex-drive/comment-page-1/#comment-20727 TomH Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:48:23 +0000 http://www.thebuehlerinstitute.com/blog/2008/03/13/should-women-have-pink-viagra-for-low-sex-drive/#comment-20727 I'm a 56 year old married male who uses Levitra, and I am very happy with it. It does not create or increase desire, it just allows me to reliably act on the desire. I have no side effects from it. I also take testosterone, and that does help my energy level, metabolism, and drive. I am sure that there are some men and women who have low sexual desire, and have no problem with low desire. It works for them, and that is their choice. But, low sex drive can creep up on you and you don't realize it or think that it is just the way it is supposed to be. I can see two potential benefits of a "pink viagra". First is the ability to have orgasms in women who desire them but are blocked by antidepressants or blood pressure medication (my wife experienced this problem). A product that increases blood flow and improves the mechanics of arousal could be very valuable. The second benefit would be to actually cause desire. This would be helpful for couples whose libidos are out of sync. This can affect either partner, and if the affected partners want it, this could be a great benfit. If a couple feels that their sex life is in need of work, it would be good to have options available. A healthy sex life is a great benefit and form of communication, and I am very glad my wife and I still relate sexually after 30+ years of marriage. With Viagra or "pink viagra" you still need communication. The ability to get an erection does not mean that you have to have sex at any given time, and I think some find that viagra has caused problems because of poor communication. Certainly there are issues of planning and spontaneity to deal with when you need a pill, but in a good relationship this can be done.
