Female Viagra, rub it on!

With all the advancements in the medical field, somehow there is still no prescription equivalent to Viagra for women. 13 years after the famous or infamous (depending on how you see it) blue-diamond-tablet shaped pill flooded the market, some of us women, are still waiting for our libido fix. Good news; we might not have to wait that long…
Viagra in gel form
No, you won’t need a chaser to wash the pill down—because it is not to be ingested. This new product is a libido-increasing gel that is called LibiGel (how original). And NO, you don’t rub it down there. It is a gel that can be massaged into your upper arm for effect.
According to researchers at LibiGel, it’s a testosterone-based product and has, get this, “ proven to increase the number of sexually satisfying events” by over 200 percent. FDA approval is expected to be applied for next year.
What is this gel designed for, specifically? Well, it is supposed to increase the sexual desire for post-menopausal women or females of any age for that matter. If you suffer from “hypoactive sexual desire disorder” which is a condition that makes you feel like you just don’t want to do it — then this is for you.
Reasons for not feeling ‘it’
Beside the usual, “I’m just too tired…” excuse, there are many legit reasons for not wanting to entertain that constantly frisky partner of yours. Your libido could have taken a plunge into the abyss because of breastfeeding, stress, or ironically–birth control pills.
Other reasons such as low hormone levels, chemical imbalances or problematic relationships could contribute to not wanting to get it on. Learn up these “legit excuses”—it might come in useful as a convincing way out. If you know what we mean—wink.
Don’t get too excited yet
Pun intended, don’t get those hopes too high because LibiGel is not the first lady Viagra attempt. Major drug companies have had plans for testosterone-based female viagra products before. However, their plans did not see light of day because of health concerns and the dreaded side-effects.
What are the side effects? If you have ever taken hormones you would know that some parts of your body start acting up – sprouting extra hair or unexpected and monumental emotional meltdowns. On a more serious note, there are other health risks involved like breast cancer and cardiovascular concerns—these are also the focus of long term safety studies conducted on these products.
The company that has been developing LibiGel since 2000, Biosante, may not have received FDA approval yet but recent results of long term health risk studies are looking good. Good enough that the company saw a jump in their stock. If it all works out, then you gals who need a little picker upper, will be rubbing those arms just to get randy. How about that for easy…
