Female Viagra

Rick, ask and you shall receive: There is, in fact, hope for women who experience "hypoactive sexual desire disorder" (PSDD), in other words, low libido. The potential cure currently being researched is flibanserin, which acts, lo-and-behold, as an antidepressant. See an article on flibanserin from the Guardian, November 2009. Is female sexual dysfunction another case of disease mongering? Discussion of this issue can be found on PLoS Med.
