A US federal advisory panel voted unanimously on Thursday that the first drug to enhance the sex drive of women should not be approved, because there is not enough information about its long-term safety.

Members of the committee said that the possible risks of the drug — a patch containing the hormone testosterone developed by Procter & Gamble — outweighed what some saw as only a modest benefit in increasing desire and the frequency of sex.

This was from Friday. I thought it would have been posted already, but here it is.
The second I heard it I chuckled because I guess I wasn't expecting it to go through, but after a day or two of talking it over with the wife I'll go to others for opinions.

Do you really believe they had health concerns? Or, in an increaingly conservative enviroment, was there concern about the possible implications of women wanting 'it' a bit more? Could the gov't have quietly given the thumbs down?

I think it has more to do with other drugs, such as Vioxx, being rushed to market without adequate testing, then creating health problems in thousands of people who used it.

I think the mens viagra got through a lot more faster even though there were similar cardiac problems. I sense a slight double standard on this issue.

For once, I don't think there is a "conservative agenda" at work.

This is genuine concern and question marks, especially in the post vioxx world.

However, I will agree there seems to be less attention paid to the "male drugs".

In my opinion, the growing cultrure of more pills and medication for "lifestyle" will come back to bite people in the ass. One way, or another.

very well put and I agree :)

I take very few medicines . In an entire year I might take 3 dosesof tylenol and maybe a dose or two of cough medicine. All my friends and family swear I am nuts and that I have a need for suffering. I just don't see how putting "pills" into your body all the time could ever help anyone.

when they enhance a sex drive is that the same as formatting a hard drive?...will they also enhance the responsibility for the unwanted pregnancies drive, the birth control drive and the unprotected sex drive.......... <_< <_< <_<
