Kathy,
You’re right about the effects of medications on libido…for both sexes. If a pill could help women by all means. What really needs to happen is for medical researchers to start focusing on women and their needs..not just the men!

As far as I’m concerned stereotypes provide us with an excuse to reach conclusions about people rather than treating them as the individuals they are. It’s easier that way and excuses people from doing the hard work of figuring out the reality of the individual. You’re a man, therefore, you’re this and I’ll prepare based on that. Instead of, you’re a human being who is entitled to be viewed as you are and how you feel and what you need … because that’s too difficult, that would require me to adjust on the fly and adjust myself to the reality of the person standing in front of me.

I do think there could be a use for the pretty pink pill. There are a lot of medications out there such as anti-depressants that zap the old sex drive – in the instance – I think it could be a positive in that respect. You are correct though – for a woman – it takes a lot more than a pill to get us in the mood!

I don’t think it necessarily stereotyping. Now there are exceptions to every rule and I am sure there are men out there that do crave the mental stimulation and connection before “sexy time”. As a general rule though men are tend to be stimulated by imagery and women mentally. Why else would porn sites and magazines do so well with men, and 50 Shades of Grey be in the hands of every woman in the know? Women send flirty texts, men send pictures of their manhood. As a veteran of online dating – I can tell you from experience – the guy who is ready to hook up at a moments notice is a lot more prevalent than the guy who wants to take me to dinner!

I hear ya… I need some kind of emotional attachment if I want to achieve any sort of physical satisfaction. I can have fun, but …that’s why, in the end, the vibrator offers a nice neat little package sometimes.

Okay. I might be terribly old school. But most women don’t just have a “roll in the hay” without trying to take/make some emotional attachment with it. No matter how sexually-liberated they imagine themselves to be. I do think men are much more driven by the act of sex than women. And I would love a pill some nights, just sayin.

Great marketing message! I think it’s important to talk about sexual libido in the context of both parties. Because if one is lagging in desire, it impacts both. To state the obvious!
