The latest from the world of sex science is that a new pill has been invented, to improve men’s sex life. There is an attempt to appease women by saying that the pills also work on us, AND the pill would make us thinner.
PUH-LEEZE. Who do they think they’re fooling???
How many of us women “over a certain age”, with jobs, children still in the K-12 school system and in other words still at home needing us more or less 24/7, can honestly say that we would welcome more demands for sex from our more rested and less responsibility-laden husbands?
Yes, many of us women could do with some help with our own ailing libidos, and if only there really was a magical pill that would make us thinner!, but reality is different.
The scientists, who have tested these drugs on monkeys, discovered it encouraged ‘rump presentation and tail wagging, tongue flicking and eyebrow raising’. Some drug. I don’t know about you, but I know I’d be out of my mind with desire if my husband came home flicking his tongue, presenting his rump at me and wagging that remainder of a tail we as humans have (called the coccyx). Yes, I’m being fascitious. The eyebrow raising would be mine.
I know I’d love to improve my libido, perhaps I could stand the smallest chance of remotely matching my husband’s desires, but LOVE, respect and genuine affection for one another doesn’t come in the form of a pill!
“The new drug stimulates the release of Type 2 gonadotropin (only a man could invent that name) and makes a man not only capable of having sex, but wanting to have it, too. And with his wife. After 20 years! Forget penicillin, this could be the miracle drug of the 21st century”, writes Amanda Platell of the Daily Mail in the UK.
I’m sure most men are thrilled to pieces about this new pill, about being able to show off their prowess yet again. But what many of them might forget, or conveniently leave out of their reasoning, is that what we women need most is romance. Not necessarily mind-blowing, middle-aged sex. We need to feel recognized, loved, appreciated and most of all we need the man to HELP OUT. THAT is an aphrodisiac. THAT might get you in bed with us. A pill making you feel like you’re 25 again while we still feel our age, is only a recipe for disaster.
Amanda Platell continues to say: “You don’t have to be a marriage counsellor to realize the pressures sex drugs place on marriages. No pun intended, but the rising number of Viagra divorces is well documented.”
Amen, sister.
Perhaps inventing a pill that makes the man more helpful and attentive at home would be money better spent.

Wow, nice post. I think that many of the drugs today that are on the market such as viagra are also abused…many of whom take the drugs who do not necessarily need to. I do believe there are some natural, organic ways in which one can better their libido but I would have to agree that ‘helping out” seems to do the trick.
