Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I think that it would appeal to women who have lost their desire through hormonal changes etc and in that respect it would be great to have something like that available.

Is "papering over the cracks" the best metaphor you could have used ?

i agree with anj.

but i do think some women would get pressurised into it. but then again, that's probably happened to men already.

:-o to reading the kindle. surely that must be a major turn-off for her partner - unless she's reading the 'dirty' bits out loud ;)

It's just an example of the pharmaceutical industry making up conditions to medicalise. I'm not saying there aren't people who would genuinely benefit but there are many more who might end up taking it unnecessarily.

The kindle isn't too bad. A colleague at work once told me his wife said to him one night 'pull my nightie down when you've finished love. I'm going to sleep now and don't want to get cold in the night' :-O

I think it would be a good thing for a woman to be able to choose to take if she wanted to, but "choose" would be the bit that might get lost in the rush to conform to so-called surveys that claim to reveal what's "normal".
I also think that a man who claims he wouldn't mind if a woman had sex just for his benefit should be... encouraged to think about that a bit more.

I said the same thing about it being a turn off if the partner isn't bothered. My OH thinks it's not ideal but that the physical need would win for many men.
