Sexual healing

Where does Big Pharma come up with these ideas anyway?

Restless vagina syndrome? For serious?

It’s not your fault, ladies (and certainly not your partner’s), that you don’t orgasm every time you have intercourse, or that you lack the libido of a 17-year-old boy. You have a disease: female sexual dysfunction (FSD), and the pharmaceutical industry wants to help.

You are among the "43 percent of American women [who] experience some degree of impaired sexual function," according to a Journal of the American Medical Association article. The FDA’s evolving definition of FSD includes decreased desire or arousal, sexual pain and orgasm difficulties -- but only if the woman feels "personal distress" about it.

So, convincing women to feel distress is a key component of the drug company strategy to market a multi-billion-dollar pill that will cure billions of women of what may not ail them.

By promoting the belief that "normal" women have explosive sex all the time, BigPharma helped launch the disease. However, the FDA has yet to approve a treatment for women who fall short. Until then, they could try the Orgasmatron: a dial-a-delight spinal implant that rarely works -- and risks infection and paralysis. Or, for $60/month, pop LexaFem pills -- containing (how-could-it-not-work) "horny goat weed extract" in order to "feel like a real woman today." Its website promises, "You won’t ever feel unhappy again with LexaFem in your arsenal."

You know, I wish they would stick to things like curing cancer or fighting malaria or something useful.

As for coming and going, there's no problem a little loving attention and some batteries won't fix.

UPPITY WOMAN DATE: Just found this video. I don't know why but these dancing ferrets made me want to update this post.

"Restless Vagina Syndrome"

sounds like "too many orgasms" rather than "too few."

All three videos in this post are funny, especially "...pat('s)." But wouldn't this alternate version of a popular old song work just as well as an alternate soundtrack for pat's video? If only to get extra mileage out of the same material, if nothing else? Good economy in all things, as they say?

Surely, Antonia, you must know that what you describe is a species of business strategy termed "manufacturing patients." The point: since there are more well people than ill people, there is more money to be made treating well people than treating ill people.

Why not ask your commentors how much of their retirement funds are invested in Big Pharma?

Boo on Big Pharma for inventing a "disease" purely to try and make money, but yay for dancing ferrets!

Bit like Al Gore and "global warming"?
