I read the other day that the FDA had decided not to approve this drug.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (27 children)

Any idea what the rationale was?

[–]didyouwoof 6 points7 points  (26 children)

As I recall, they didn't think there was enough evidence that it worked. There were also some unpleasant side effects reported.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (25 children)

Well, if it's adderall (which definitely has aphrodisiac effects for women), then there are absolutely a raft of side effects.

citation wanted

Seriously. Citation wanted. So hard. So I can go look for girls with amphetamine.


Everyone knows Addie girls are skanks.


I've discovered a nasty little secret about the pharmaceutical industry. I'm going to guess this became a widespread practice when they started advertising drugs on TV and had to list side effects.

There is apparently serious friction in getting side effects listed. So what you end up with are side effects that are prevalent but not listed. But when you search on the drug name and the side effect, you'll find a whole lotta people experiencing the same thing.

In the instant case:


So this is purely anecdotal, completely unscientific, but I find it to be pretty reliable.

Not saying it's at all reliable but http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp_front.shtml is generally the place for anecdotes wrt drugs.

I looked at the link that was the reply to this one, not yours. Use google.

You know what is funny, I went to GNC the other day to buy a supplement, and the clerk asked me if I needed any other supplements or fish oils. Not quite the same thing, but pretty close I think. It made me chuckle.


It's called money.

I have found that True Blood is the best aphrodisiac around. And cheap too!

[–]science_diction 13 points14 points  (28 children)

WTF? They can make female "viagra" but we still can't get male birth control?

[–]petdance 16 points17 points  (0 children)

But this "female viagra" doesn't actually do anything. Do you want male birth control that doesn't do anything?


There IS male birth control! They've successfully tested a pill that alters sperm so it can't impregnate, and you only have to take it every six months. There's also an injection, into your ass, that lowers your sperm count to so little it won't work, and it lasts for two years.

[–]POTUS 0 points1 point  (3 children)

lowers your sperm count to so little it won't work...

If your sperm count is greater than zero, and your semen gets inside someone female, there's a chance she could get pregnant. It only takes one, and if this injection reduces your sperm count by, say, 99.9%, then you are still sending up to 600,000 little troops into battle.


Yes of course, but there's a point where its so low that it's incredibly unlikely. With this method there were of course some "uh-oh" pregnancies, however the success rate was equal to female birth control.

[–]ketralnis -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Sure, but 99.9% is better than both the pill and the condom

[–]POTUS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't suggest it reduces the chances of getting pregnant by 99.9%. I have no way to determine the exact statistical relationship between sperm count and risk of pregnancy, though I wouldn't think it would be a one-to-one kind of thing.

If it reduced sperm count by 100%, 99.9% of the time, that would be great. But it doesn't.

[–]mrtherapist 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It is easier to control one or two eggs than it is to kill between 30 million to 300 billion sperm.

[–]Travis-Touchdown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell that to Hitler.

[–]texpundit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BINGO! I came here to basically post the same thing.

They can have female viagra only after/at the same time we get a male birth control pill.

[–]Hauskaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was expecting this to be a new kind of roofie.

[–]GodOfAtheism 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Really, I'm rather shocked these guys haven't gone to targeted adverts to /r/twoxchromosomes. Considering the vast majority of redditors are male, it really doesn't make much of any sense to me to not target somewhere where you know you're going to hit your target audience.


Are you kidding? This sounds better than a roofie, they know exactly who they are targeting.

[–]Owy2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except this is just one of many empowher ads. Generally speaking, I'd agree they'd do better with targeted ads.


Also, the girls of twoxchromosomes are idiotic shrews who would buy this sort of thing.

[–]Exedous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think a better name would have been emPlowerHer

[–]akatookey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

emPOWher right in the kisser. (Domestic violence isn't funny, puns are ok).

[–]snissn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

does it make the girls' penises largers?

[–]Travis-Touchdown 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Female viagra? So.... I can get a pill to give my woman an erection?

[–]boydrewboy -1 points0 points  (1 child)

No. Viagra is a blood thinner... Have you been to Niagra?

Maybe one day they'll find a way to give women orgasms.

[–]bobisik 0 points1 point  (0 children)



I was skeptical of this product but I thought I'd give it a try anyway.

I think it worked - a little too well! We both noticed right away that her vagina was much stronger, and soon after that we discovered it could be used it as if it was a third arm! EmpowHER enabled her to grab my penis... with her vagina! Try it!

[–]boydrewboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

failplant is fail


if you need pills, he's doing it wrong.

[–]Syaoran07 -5 points-4 points  (1 child)

Can anyone explain me this. If women are given "viagra", wouldnt it be useless since the man cant get it up, thats why HE needs the viagra?


sometimes women like to orgasm during sex too
