It's amazing how much money is spent on sexual enhancement drug research compared to research into a test to detect ovarian cancer which is a death sentence when it is diagnosed.
Isn't this just a vasodilator? If so, all it will do is lower a woman's blood pressure. SMH!
Well there is that. One of the warnings mentions low blood pressure. But they claim it acts on the brain as well. Mere vasodilators don't do that. Coincidentally, Viagra is a vasodilator. Formerly a blood pressure lowering drugs. As I understand it, the number one side effect of such drugs is erectile dysfunction. The miracles of pharmaceutical science. I suppose if you tweek the dosage juuuuust right. TIMBER! There be wood here! I'm still not understanding the science of the new drug, not that I have delved into its workings.
Since our entire sex lives are hormonally driven (we don't have urges until puberty and, in my humble opinion, urges wane after menopause or midlife for men -- as it should be, by the way), seems to me the only effective "treatment" for what is not really a "disorder" would be hormonal. But manufacture and advertise it, and the sheeple will buy it. What a country!

Except that there are definitely non-hormonal drugs that do affect the desire for sex, although precisely how they do that may not be specifically known.

I wouldn't call them sheeple, I would call them desperate to find something to help. I used to be one of those women, I lost my drive in my early 40's, and the problem when I went to regular GYNs or GP's, was they would have my hormones tested and they would come back in the "normal" range even though I knew they weren't normal for ME.
I was finally lucky enough after years of trying every natural supplement sold, to find an "Age Management" doctor that does the bio-identical hormone pellets, and that worked for me.
There are not many doctors that do this though...mine, women come from several other states every 4 months to get them.
This may help some women and maybe it won't, but to judge them by calling them "sheeple" for being willing to try another option is lame, IMO.
the 1% is pooping their pants that americans have stopped reproducing at replacement rates. Vasalgel is non-starter. No one wants people able to have sex without the risk of pregnancy, except... Except people who don't count. As i understand it, more advance and innovation has been made in cell phones in the last five years than in birth control technology in the last 50. You can get sex lube in thriftway. Flavored, heated. Erection aids right there on the shelf with the ovulation meters. And the condoms... 3,000 year old bc technology that they are betting you won't use correctly. Ordinary viagra works as well in women as in men. It is pure marketing that insisted that women needed a targeted product. Btw viagra is a patented tradename of an out of patent blood pressure drug called sldenafil. The patented form of sildendafil is already 30x cheaper than viagra. the generic form of sildenafil is 1/100 the cost of viagra. and just as effective. the markup on the actual chemical (a simple, common molecule) used in both drugs is like 66,000%. It is a vaso-dilator and works on any vein in the human body, male or female. It won't help men or women with low libido. Women's low libido is more often due to emotional/psychological issues that will not be affected by any mainstream pharmaceutical. But getting americans thinking about and having more sex will result in more americans because americans are very clumsy about birth control. More grist for the mill. They are betting (the farm) on it.
