Here's an article from www.bloomberg.com on a pharmaceutical (drug) called at this point, flibanserin, that's reportedly increasing women's desire for sex. It made me think of what I see as the two forms of sexual desire for women and men.

There's brain and body chemically-induced hunger to have sex, and then there's the erotic interest in engaging in a sex act that the person really likes or wants, irrelevant to how much the body is aching to do things that make babies. That's an important distinction. Here's what I think is funny/interesting about how vague the criteria for their trials they are testing for, quote:

...how many “satisfying sexual
events” women said they experienced after starting
treatment (with the experimental drug.)

Could they get any more oversimplified? What about orgasm? About flow of oxytocin after orgasms, or do the women who take it stay horny till it wears off? What does satisfying mean? Does it make you feel like a teenager with every pill? Or is it just a dopamine booster, which, according to a friend of mine, won't be allowed to be sold here. Bigger than Viagra because there are, according to the article, more women reporting sexual problems than men. The drug affects the brain, which makes me nervous, vs Viagra's simpler effect of making the hydraulics work.
