If you found your libido slipping, how many of you would give it a try? Would you research it before trying?
It sounds like it's more hormonal, so is not really the same class of drug as a Viagra.
Also sounds like the FDA rejected the application twice previously.

The "new" female "Viagra" would you try it, use it?

I've heard that it's basically an anti-depressant, so - very different than the male version of viagra, which creates an obvious physical reaction.
I'm a bit torn on the idea of female viagra if it's mostly a mood booster. Like I can understand a woman taking a pill or suppository because she's dry or menopausal and things are changing in the vag and this leads her to not want to have sex as often anymore, because it's not as pleasurable.
I wonder if - while acting as anti-depressant, this female viagra might be more about a placebo effect, or function as a way to open up dialogue between partners and force them to actually talk about their sex lives - what's lacking, what needs to change etc.
I think women who get older often get turned off to sex for reasons that aren't functional/physical... it could be that she doesn't feel sexy anymore, she went into hardcore 'mommy/child-rearing' mode, her body has changed and she's lost confidence, her man isn't valuing her or 'seducing' her anymore etc. A pill wouldn't solve any of this. Better communication might, however, and maybe the discussion about getting a prescription for the pill or taking it and expecting to feel more 'sexual' and turned on might work wonders with improving a woman's sex life if she's lost a bit of the thrill for it over the years.
As with all drugs, some people will find them to be very effective (for whatever the reason), and if it improves someone's sex life, I'm all for it. Would I personally try it if I found my libido chronically slipping and was older - not sure - I'd have to do more research. It would definitely be a last-resort sort of thing for me though.

If I had that problem, I would absolutely try it. However, I would do my homework first and research it thoroughly and I wouldn't want to be one of the first people to try it. And I'd probably exhaust all other avenues first, like making sure my hormone levels are ok, etc.

OMG NO!! If I have any problem that area it maybe that I am oversexed. So I see no benefit to further motivation.

I definitely would not try. I already have sex enough. I can't imagine needing it more.
