    At least it isn’t an antidepressant.

    Its a cream using the same active ingredient in viagra called sildenafil. It stimulates blood flow to the area and aids in arousal. Its called Dare and Play.

    Cheaper than a bottle of wine and more batteries

    Is it a bottle of wine?

    It’s viagra in a cream. Good for sensation but I feel like the real “blue pill” for women is for libido itself. Maybe I’m wrong.

    If they come up with a safe happy pill that makes anxiety and frustration dissipate for an hour or two, then I'll be convinced that they have something that works.

    Women don’t want to have sex with men and it took them 30 years to catch on.

    Yikes. I’m sure that’s some cases, but there are plenty of legitimate health reasons that impact circulation for women and arousal, as they do for men

    OMG, this is what pharmaceutical companies are focusing on? women don’t have trouble getting it up. all they need is loving partners to be satisfied. someone should see if they could come up with more of those.

    Stfu not every woman is a picket fence monogamous wife longing for her man’s tender touch. Women like to fuck too

    Umm, no thanks. A warm home cooked meal and a back massage after a long day of work has been enough for me.

    Will a 80% rate of male genital mutilation rate in the 1st world country of the US help make up for it? 😢

    Super weird bit of information to drop in a discussion about women’s sexual health.

    Not really, considering the title sounds victimizing to women, men are still not treated equally to women.

    Take what you want from, wouldn’t expect one post to change you.

    Why would a medication designed to help women have intercourse be “victimizing to women”?

    If you think think men need to be genital mutation or women have it worse than men, I’m gonna suggest you might.

    My brother, I don’t think about it at all. I suggest you expend less mental energy on this topic.

    Want equal treatment or seek mental health treatment? 🤔

    Is that really what you’re arguing, lol

    What youre talking about is a cultural thing. Not medical. If youre so upset about being circumcised take that up with your parents and go to therapy. Dont sit here and be upset because something is labeled for women. Its the same drug the men get but its a topical application.

    Women have been drastically under studied in medicine. That means most health care is created for men. Most health data we have is for men. The fact that there is something for women makes you so mad that you throw a fit saying men are treated so much worse is sickening. Grow up. Read some books. Is there inequality? Yes. Both sides face disadvantages.
