The Little Pink Pill or Viagra for women might be just around the corner. On June 18 the FDA will be deciding whether or not to approve the new drug that is supposed to increase a woman's libido and possibly revolutionize sex, it's called Flibanserin. That's Fli-ban-se-rin. Makes you feel sexy doesn't it? The wonder pill is supposed to increase a woman's desire, including satisfaction with sex.
Scientists found that flibanserin, developed as an antidepressant, was ineffective for treatment of depression. But the drug appeared to produce an unexpected side effect: boosting women's libido. That prompted the company to study it for hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or HSDD, an otherwise unexplained loss of sexual thoughts, fantasies and desire that can cause significant emotional distress. Some research suggests 10 percent of women may suffer from HSDD. The company has sponsored studies involving more than 5,000 premenopausal women ages 18 to 50 in the United States, Canada and Europe in whom HSDD had been diagnosed. A 100-milligram daily dosage increased the number of satisfying sexual experiences that women had reported from the previous month -- a key benchmark the FDA has set for such drugs -- from an average of 2.7 to 4.5, compared with 3.7 among those taking a placebo.
Jump for more on the Female Viagra! So this pill, which temporarily increases dopamine and norepinephrine, decreases serotonin levels, which can all be potentially dangerous depending on the woman's emotional stability and home life. Which, if you're looking at menopausal woman (who are by far the majority affected by a decrease in libido) as the prime buyer of the product, then you're looking at some pretty unstable bitches. Additionally, the women involved in the study who took the placebo are having almost the same amount of satisfying sexual experiences as those taking Flibanserin, which basically means the increase in libido is negligible. And what exactly do they define as "satisfying?" Is it satisfying because they are reaching orgasm or is it satisfying simply because they want to have sex and don't just feel obligated? Did anyone ever think that maybe the answer to a woman's sexual problems isn't in the bottom of an orange bottle? It seems like nowadays there's a quick fix for everything; and while Viagra might still be a necessity for some men, let's face it, we all know a woman's wiring is different. Maybe these women just need therapy, or a better partner, or a vibrator, or all three! Follow me for a quick paragraph... if a woman's sexual desire decreases before, during or after she goes through menopause, there's a very specific biological reason: we have the urge to have sex to procreate. If a woman runs out of eggs then the decrease in her libido is her body's way of saying "it's curtains." If her desire to have a desire persists without the desire actually being there (are you still following me?) then yes it probably has a lot to do with hormones or lack thereof in her body. Why do we think the answer is to throw some artificial hormones in her body and mess with her brain chemical levels? Not to get all Scientologist on your ass (I'm not one, please don't confuse me with Overlord Tom Cruise) but I'm kind of getting sick of the whole fix it with a pill thing... thought maybe I shouldn't knock it until I try it, vibrators were invented to find a cure for hysteria.

It's almost fucking May and we haven't gotten our fix of monthly What I Learned from Cosmo. It's not my fault. My mother hid my magazine. She seems to keep the faith that my excessive use of the word "fuck" combined with my unabashed dialogue about well... you know, is unbecoming of a lady. Quite possible, but I'm going to do it anyway. I love you mom! (She's really not that old-fashioned, it's just a little game we like to play... or is it?!) Enough with the non sequiturs, here's what you've all been waiting for... my May recap of Cosmo: The Sexy Issue starring Heidi Klum (is she even still relevant? I mean her show's on Lifetime!) Heidi Klum: Why The Fuck Does She Get Everything?! - pg 37
The only thing that sparked a bit of interest was when the writer briefly talked about Klum's relationship with Italian businessman/womanizer extraordinaire, Flavio Briatore, who kicked her ass to curb after less than a year and preggers!

You usually go on the pill because you're going to be getting busier than a pair of rabbits. However, the hormonal cocktail drops your testosterone production, lowering your libido.

Breast Tenderness: When you're feeling sore around your period, wrap a refrigerated lettuce leaf around your breasts, leave it there until it wilts.
Indoor Tanning Tax Part Of New Health Care Bill - pg 198
This past winter, the Senate proposed a 10% tax on indoor tanning as part of the new health-care plan... and President Obama later included it in his own version of the bill.
