'Viagra for women,' Big Pharma boon?

Our Aphrodisiac Sampling Party produced no immediate results according to our "score" card
Amy King, KFI AM 649 news
Spring is coming! You know what that means. đź›ŚđźŤ†đź’• Cleaning, of course. And maybe a clean house will finally put her in the mood. But don't count on it. This whole marriage was a bait-and-switch! Enter, Addyi (as in addi-ction). Now there will be no excuse. Of course, how much has it even changed the world? It is not exactly new, just getting a new advertising push.

Once upon a time, "the pill" changed the world, starting in this country with women's lib, the Sixties, free love, and an end to the fear of unwanted pregnancies.

IDK why I get my freak on once a month.
What color was that pill? Pharmaceutical white, we think. Then came a revolution in capitalist medicine, a big blue pill (Viagra®) that changed the world.

Marriages rejoiced until they yawned and turned over and kept grumbling, "Get off me." What to do, what to do? Ah, better living through chemistry was the slogan at raves that pumped the EDM to bright synthetic colors and chemicals.


I don't need it. Being lust-free is not a problem.
Finally, after decades of trying -- after millennia of aphrodisiac promises and recipes, slaughter shellfish rich in zinc, drupe fruits hanging languorously from the bough and branch, vine and even emerging from the ground (pomegranate, fig, avocado berry, strawberry, amla, gooseberry, camu camu...) What is the secret substance?

Ah, clean vegan protein hits the spot.
Big Pharma now has something to sell to dissatisfied husbands and intrepid women who want to feel what they no longer feel or never felt, given years of sexism and trauma and inverted onanism no one is allowed to talk about, not that they would talk about it since the real occupation is in the mind. Free our minds and our butts will follow? That's the saying.

I should marry and do this while she sleeps.
Drop a pharmaceutical -- along with all the antidepressants (mostly SSRIs), dopaminergic Adderall, obtunding alcohol. and whatever else the dealers on campus are dealing -- and hop in bed? That would be surprising.

What kind of obsession can desire become? 
No one believed beets and nitric acid could do anything, but Viagra proved otherwise until every corporation rushed to release their own versions of the same thing. Cialis® anyone? That market is saturated (with generic sildenafil). Now it's time to soak some new sheets. Enter, Addyi® (flibanserin). Is it only for "working girls" like Julia Roberts? No, they don't want to enjoy it or be in any mood but moneygrubbing mode, the better for the heartless gold-digging.

The hidden danger and depravity of sensual lust
Addyi is the only FDA-approved pill proven to increase a woman's sex drive. Addyi is a 100% [synthetic allopathic chemical compound but it is a] hormone-free pill for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) proven to help certain premenopausal women*:
  • have more interest in sex
  • have more satisfying sex
  • lower stress (from low libido).
.
Do we get money back if it doesn't work?
(BTW, look carefully, perv. That's her leg!)
*Efficacy of Addyi was established in three 24-week trials in over 2,000 premenopausal women with acquired, generalized HSDD. Patients were treated with Addyi (n=1,187) or placebo (n=1,188) [n being the number of participants in a study].

Not all women will experience similar improvement for their HSDD. For the last 10 years, Addyi has been the #1 prescribed treatment for HSDD [1] in women who have not yet gone through menopause, who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner.

Sexbot: Wait, what, you're saying I'm not a "real" woman? This pill didn't work! Get off of me!
.
Women with HSDD have low sexual desire that is troubling to them. Their low sexual desire is not due to:
  • a medical or mental health problem [such as having been molested, assaulted, or raped, Live Beyond ACEs!],
  • problems in the relationship
  • or medicine
  • or other drug use.
I get a real charge out of suckers men for my Tesla
Addyi is not for use for the treatment of HSDD in women who have gone through menopause or in men or children [anyone under 18, depending on geographical location and political climate].

Addyi is not for use to enhance sexual performance [so, sorry, working girls, you'll just have to rely on the same illegal drugs you've been using up until now].

ACEs
It happened to everyone. - No, it didn't!
(Live Beyond CA) Our past experiences do not define us, but they can have a lasting impact on our mental and physical health and even our relationships. ACEs (adverse childhood experiences) are not our fault. We didn’t have control over when or why they happened, but we can live beyond ACEs and take steps toward healing. More

Big Pharma keeps trying to convince women they need libido drugs
Teresa Carr, Mother Jones
What's in this legal toxic stew of allopathic chemicals and enzyme disruptors?

Magic in Pandora's bottle or an evil genie?
Sex therapist and researcher Leonore Tiefer shuttered the New View Campaign, an organization she had founded to combat what she refers to as “the medicalization of sex” — essentially, the pharmaceutical industry’s efforts to define variations in sexuality and sexual problems as medical issues requiring a drug fix.

For 16 years, the group had fought against industry’s involvement in sex research, including its push for a drug to boost women’s sex drives.

New View hosted conferences and its members penned papers and testified before the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The campaign was prominently featured in an 80-minute documentary called Orgasm Inc, and promoted a clever (if off-pitch) video advising women to “throw that pink pill away,” a reference to the female-libido drug flibanserin (Addyi), which was seeking FDA approval at the time.

Orgasm Inc, that's a real thing? Is it Rated X?

New View counted some successes: The FDA didn’t approve an allegedly libido-boosting testosterone patch for women, on the grounds that the patch’s slim benefits didn’t outweigh its risks, and the FDA twice rejected flibanserin for the same reason.

But [ten years ago] in August 2015, the agency reversed itself and approved the so-called pink Viagra. “I felt we’d said everything we had to say,” said Tiefer of ending the campaign.

Advocates predicted FDA approval would be sought for additional women’s libido drugs, but the group felt there was nothing they could do to stop it. More
