"Pink" Viagra: Why's It Always Gotta Be Pink?

The search for the little blue pill's counterpart for women continues. I wonder if they made Viagra blue just so women would know which pill is theirs.

Our Bodies, Ourselves recently posted an article expressing concerns about the marketing of a woman's sexual dysfunction drug.

They also linked to another post about the "feminist view on female sexual dysfunction."

Apparently, my sistren believe that, should scientists discover a "pink" Viagra, commercials would target women who are just not interested in sex. Young, stressed, busy, unfortunate women.

Okay, I can see that. But is that a reason not to discover this drug? Many older women experience a lower sex drive because of a MEDICAL PROBLEM. Why shouldn't they use something to help them?

There are men that are too busy, stressed, and depressed to have sex, too. No one's worried that they'll feel like something's wrong with them.

I understand the concern. I get it. Marketing campaigns could easily try to make women feel bad for not wanting to have sex. And I'm sure they won't use the female version of Bob Dole for their commercials.But Viagra is for dudes who want to have sex and just can't get it up. This drug should be for the same thing. Women don't have a physical indicator that they're ready for sex, but a drug that increases blood flow to the genitals could increase lubrication and relax the vaginal muscles.

According to Discovery, around 43% of women experience sexual dysfunction, compared to 31% of men. If a woman wants to want sex more than she does, she should have the same tools men have to take care of that. Sure, drug commercials manipulate people. But why is this one more heinous than...say...Prozac commercials that make everyone think they're depressed? Yes, this drug targets women. But isn't that the point?

Isn't this "concern" equivalent to the concern that birth control pills encourage women to have sex more? Why do we think women are more easily manipulated than men?

Researchers at the Medical Research Council's Human Reproductive Sciences unit in Edinburgh are close to developing a potential rival for Viagra. Washington Viagra is now a decade old and is used by an estimated million men to treat erectile dysfunction. http://www.viagrathunder.com

Viagra has been on the market for over 10 years and every time I see an advertisement it always seems to make me laugh. I have found their marketing to be absurd. Even though I have this product to be humorous I also know some people that have taken Viagra. They were young men 19-21 years old and they found the product to be beneficial even though it is not intended to be sold to consumers of that age. In my opinion Viagra is a product to help elderly men with their libido but there has been a conflict of interest because many young men and teens have experimented with it and they are more likely to experience negative side effects.

kann das mit dem doping von viagra nur bestätigen. auch bei mir konnte ich diese anzeichen verbuchen, aber was solls, die pillen nehme ich ja hauptsächlich wegen der fehlenden potenz und nun ist sie halt wieder da wie früher.

Due to the fact that not everyone can afford the high prices of the brand name Viagra, manufacturers have created a generic viagra version of it, a copy containing the same ingredients and formula, producing the same effects but having a different look. Generic Viagra online is intended for those who need a cheaper version of Viagra. You can buy Viagra online at excellent prices, and you can even find offers and discounts online as well.
