increased blood flow to the genitals
November 4, 1998

ATLANTA (CNN) -- The popular impotence drug for men, Viagra, has been on the market for seven months. But now, thousands of women with sexual problems are also taking the little blue pill.
According the Pfizer, the drug's manufacturer, Viagra has been prescribed for some 150,000 women.
They include Joanne Dorman who had a hysterectomy eight years ago, an operation that some doctors say can lead to a decreased interest in sex.
"It was more of a job or a task, not a pleasurable event," she said.
But after taking Viagra, she says sex with her husband is a lot better.
"It's fabulous, it's fabulous. It's an enjoyable moment in our life."
Viagra works for both men and women by increasing the blood flow to the genitals. Women need this blood flow, just as men do, to achieve sexual arousal.
Pfizer researcher Dr. Irwin Goldstein said he and his colleagues at Boston University Medical Center have not done a Viagra study with women, but says they have prescribed the drug to some 50 female patients. He said it has worked for most of them.
"It has shown evidence of enhanced lubrication, less pain, more arousal, less problems with orgasm," Goldstein said.
The Food and Drug Administration has not yet approved Viagra for women, but doctors can prescribe it for both sexes.
Goldstein said there's no reason to think the side effects, such as headaches and temporary visual problems, will be any different than in men. Viagra for men and woman can be deadly of taken with heart medicine containing nitrates.

Currently, there is no definitive research on Viagra and women.
Bioethicist Arthur Caplan, who as been a consultant to Pfizer, said it's not yet safe for women to take.
"While I think it's worth exploring whether Viagra might be beneficial to women, it's absolutely not time to be prescribing it to women," he said.
Bur Dorman disagrees.
"I think that if we want to continue to have a caring, family-oriented relationship amongst couples, there are women who have needs that must be addressed as equally as their male counterparts," she said.
It will be next year before Pfizer releases its results of studies with women and Viagra. Meanwhile, other pharmaceutical companies are investigating other treatments for women with sexual problems.

Most women will experience periods in their life were their libido will be low or completely gone. Experiencing this is normal because there are many factors that can come to play in a women's life. These factors can include hormonal changes such as post pregnancy and pre menstrual, illnesses, physical, psychological, emotional such as stress, and so on. If your sexual problems are making you uncomfortable you should not be afraid to get help. Depending on what the problem is there are some great Viagra for women alternatives available. There is no evidence of any reaction from male's viagra applied to women. But there is a new female viagra which is used to boost libido to women. This will react accordingly to professionals.

IF viagra worked on women with any sort of regularity don't you think drug manufacturers would be bombarding the airwaves with ways to get every woman in the world on the stuff??? The problem as found in trials is that bloodflow to the genitals(which is essentially what viagra supplies)and is seemingly all men require is simply NOT all that women require...enjoyable sex(NOT just intercourse) is in a woman's head not her genitals...hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but there it is; the sad sad truth of the matter...improved bloodflow to the genitals will not fix that...

Viagra is contraindicated for use by females, specially ones of reproductive age. A similar medication designed for use in women is under development.

I will find out as soon as I slip some of my Viagra pills to my girlfriend. My desire is that her sweet vaginal lips will open up wide and get juicy right before I get ready to put it to her.

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts.

As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.
