27 June 2010: “Not tonight, Josephine!”

If men with erectile dysfunction can reach for Viagra and/or Cialis to make sure they’re “ready when the moment is right,”  it’s only fair that women with libido difficulties should have a remedy of their own.  According to an article in The New York Times, relief is just around the corner.  Right now, the F.D.A. is vetting a drug called flibanserin.  It’s supposed to increase female sexual desire, but it could also cause dizziness and nausea.  Thus, coitus could be messy.  Girl Sees Boy, Girl Gets Boy, Girl Vomits on Boy.  Boy Runs To Loo To Take A Shower.  Girl Loses Boy.   Maybe that’s what happened to Napoleon long before he met his Waterloo.  “Not tonight, Josephine!”
