What some women want (or need)!

I am just curious about something. They make a little pill for WOMEN to control birth. Why hasn’t there ever been a pill created for a man to control birth? It takes a man and a woman equally to create birth. My guess is that the current “birth control pill” is so effective, everyone is satisfied and there has been no “push” to do otherwise. Ok, that was just a question, now on to what I am really going to talk about.

Now, they have a new “blue” pill for MEN. I am pretty sure everyone is familiar with this little pill, as it is highly advertised. This little blue pill is for men and their sexual dysfunction. Studies have shown that more women suffer from sexual dysfunction than men, but the pharmaceutical industry has failed women miserably. There are no drugs to help women in this area, to date. Pfizer, Inc. did an eight year study to see if the Viagra would be beneficial for women. Conclusion that the little blue pill only works for men. The way Viagra works is that it increases blood flow down below. This effect is the same for men and women. This works great for men, but this alone rarely satisfied women.

Beverly Whipple, the sex researcher who co-wrote “The G-Spot” said “I hate to say it, but women are much more complex than men”.

The latest research indicates women with sexual dysfunction need a neurological solution. When it comes to achieving orgasms, women are more affected by mood and self-esteem than men. That has led researchers to brain scanning and other technology. Yes, they are watching women’s brains while they have orgasms.

................Uh, sorry, I was just trying to picture this!

Ok, back to some of the interesting conclusions of these studies.
They have found that the vagus nerve appears to be important. This nerve, which is outside the spinal cord, carries information to areas of the brain that control mood. The vagus nerve may be the new target for drugs.

These brain scans found the areas of the brain that are activated from orgasm in women, which are measured by the blood flow. When brain cells start firing in a part of the brain that governs a particular emotion or activity, they need more oxygen, which is carried by the blood.

The scans also revealed something else about women. During orgasm, the pain centers in the brain shut down. The pleasure centers (the same ones that become active when people ingest cocaine) light up.
Oh my goodness….if that is what cocaine does to you, I am glad I don’t do it, because I would definitely be addicted!

But a big problem with these scans is that no machine is designed to simultaneously monitor both the brain and the body. And even if they could, the images’ clarity would be muddied by “background noise” such as hand movements. Hmmmm, guess that would be a problem!

Barry Komisaruk, a researcher, is currently studying the brains of women who can self-stimulate purely through thought, a rare attribute that eliminates the “background noise” as he seeks to find out exactly what makes women tick during sex.
Wow! That is an interesting trick, I must say. Hotboy, is that along the lines of “Ra Bliss”?
Now, let’s think about this for a minute. Ladies….BeckEye, Becky, Echeevo72, Kay Ray, Spinning Girl, Alecia (and all of the rest of you ladies, sorry if I left you out), imagine if you were having a bad day at the office (like Frank did the other day). Just gather yourself; take a few minutes…..and life would be wonderful once again. Now, I know it couldn’t be that easy, but just think if it were! There would be no such thing as PMS. Robmcj, just think if it were that easy, your post about being young in the tub might have been different. *grin*
Ok guys (Dave, Carl, Mike, Mojo, Zombie, Blake) I am sure you have some type of comment, let’s hear it! :) As rare as self stimulation through thought is for women, do you think it is something men could do? I think it would be more difficult for men to achieve this because a man is respondent to the physical aspect of sex whereas a woman is receptive to the emotional aspect.

Gert Holstege, a leading sexual researcher at Groningen University in The Netherlands was quoted as saying “The strange thing is that everyone knows that it all happens between the ears and not between the legs.”
“Among other results, Holstege found that the part of the brain thought to control fear and anxiety~the amygdala~deactivated during orgasm for both women and men. He acknowledged that his data for men is a little suspect, however, because they don’t orgasm long enough to take a proper brain scan.” I find that interesting. So, does that mean a woman's orgasm lasts longer than a man's?
Sex research using brain scans is only just getting started, and scientists warn that any potential new drugs, or even better diagnoses of sexual dysfunction , are years away.

Jef ~ I feel sure if a cure can be found for sexual dysfunction in women, that it would be helpful in obtaining a harmonious relationship, right? (I know... among many other factors)
Ticharu ~ something philosophical to add?

What about you Fred, Jiggs, RCS, Goan Pao, Justice, Anorion, ilaiy?

I consider myself fortunate to not experience this problem. At least I have comfort in knowing that if I ever had to rely on some help that it is in the works!
