    Viagra doesn't increase libido, it increases blood flow to the penis to allow you to get a fucking hard on. That's why if you're on alpha blockers or blood thinners you shouldn't take viagra.
    Which for men is generally considered as being "increases libido". Basically mission accomplished if they can get it up, since it enables sex.

    Doesn't work the same for women. Well, for some women it does. But no one's really sure why.

    No it doesn't increase libido. Libido is the desire to have sex. Getting a hard on and the desire to have sex are not one in the same.

    Nonsense, the climbing of the mountain is caused by the mountain being there.

    Explain to me, how a mood altering drug designed to increase sexual desire in women, would not be considered by some as THE drug to try to slip to women.

    Yes you still have free will, but I'm pretty good at poor decision making when my own hormones are up.

    EDIT: Mild doses of testosterone have been considered for such a drug for this reason, but hence the skepticism - the question has always been asked, are we really talking about sexual dysfunction or is it more a psychological process which should be dealt with by other means. In men viagra is acting on a specific region of the body to enable a specific function which implies a more physiological issue.

    You should also be pretty good at recognizing that your decision-making is hormonally influenced at a given moment and correcting for such. The difference between puberty and adulthood. Also a necessary skill to learn for surviving situations that involve adrenaline and thinking at the same time.

    Recognizing hormonally influenced decision making and fully correcting for it are two different things. No one does it perfectly. Hence my idle speculation on the matter - which is what this started at - which was, it's not a date-rape drug, but it is surreptiously messing with someone's moods. Assuming there are no side-effects (unlikely), I don't where to put that one. Other then "creepy" at the very least and abhorrent to my mind.

    ELM, you shouldn't use the word libido because it implies desire. Viagra is used to combat erectile dysfunction, and still requires stimulus to activate. Women have already been using it themselves, and at least one study has shown that it is effective.
    Wiki indicates that was for people on anti-depressants.

    The target is still sexual dysfunction. Viagra does not work in the brain, and does not combat the anti-depressant. It is combating a side effect of the anti-depressant, or simply the effect of the person's illness for which they need an anti-depressant. I suspect it would work the same way with the anti-depressant/illness absent.

    Indeed, which is what I meant and failed to imply (because I suck at using the word libido properly).

    "Female viagra" is a catch-all term though - it's used to discuss anything related to what's considered female sexual dysfunction, which commonly is considered to be dealing with low libido since any purely physiological effect doesn't really work.

    The discussion of the drug that doesn't exist anyway isn't interesting to me. Fully correcting for them isn't so easy as to be automatic, it takes some measure of discipline, but not actually that large of a measure and honestly it is an incredibly basic requisite life-skill, on the level of tying your shoes.
