Meg Ryan fakes orgasm in the classic restaurant scene in "When Harry Met Sally."A new pill has been invented that could boost the sex drives of millions of women - and amazingly it was discovered by accident !
Flibanserin was originally designed to fight depression, but in trials it was found to be much better at putting the pep back into a gal's love life. Now the drug is being touted as the female equivalent of "Viagra," the little blue pill that's perked up men all over the world since appearing on the market in 1998. And it could transform the bedroom habits of couples throughout America and maybe the world.

And it could transform the bedroom habits of couples throughout America and maybe the world.
Results from trials of almost 2,000 females with low libido, or hypoactive sexual desire disorder, show thet Flibanserin increased the times the gals wanted sex by 60 percent - and it also made lovemaking much more satisfying. In fact, some women say they found it such an aphrodistisiac that they didn't want to give the pills back once the trial was over! Dr. John Thorp, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the uUniversity of North carolina Medical School says, the drug works by changing the chemical balance in the brain to promote feelings of sexual desire. However, it takes several weeks for the effect to build up... meaning it simply can't be "popped" on demand.
Around one in four females suffer from a lack of lust and while Flibanserin could bring back that bedroom feeling, don't rush to your doctors for a prescription just yet. The med , being developed by the German pharmaceutical company Boehringer Ingelheim, still needs to get FDA approval before it's availabe in the United States.
Judy Norsigian, executive director of women's health advocacy,' Our Bodies Ourselves', based in Cambridge, Mass., warns that while some gals may do better taking Flibanserin, low libido is more than physical. The proper solution for a lack of sexual desire would involve a number of non-drug approaches such as therapy, mind-body techniques and getting partners involved in the situation.

Research psychologist Petra Boynton of the University College London says the pill is not a "magic bullet." There are all kinds of physical psychological and emotional reasons that can put someone off sex, she says. A pill is not going to help resolve those. It's not going to make you feel better about your body image and it won't make your partner better in bed.
My take on this: There are a lot of reasons you can lose your sex drive. Whatever the reason, the pill won't be a lasting cure, all meds have side affects. Sometimes a low sex drive is a state of the mind. I don't really know about a low sex drive, sometimes I think mine is in over-drive. But on the up side, if you don't use it, you will lose it. Be a little more playful and try different ways and positions, on your way home from a movie/dinner, the mood strikes, take a chance in the car and get a little nookie. But hey, that's just me.
