Scientists fear female libido booster too effective

Not The Onion or Daily Currant!!

Women looking to get their freak back may soon be able to pop a new breed of lust drug: Lybrido.

But scientists developing the desire pill sometimes called “female Viagra” confided in one writer an unusual worry. They fear the libido-booster may work too well.

(And the problem with that is …?)

Journalist Daniel Bergner, whose story on the still-being-developed wonder drug was published last week in the New York Times Magazine, says researchers worry about creating an orgasm-hungry nympho. Yeah, the author expressed surprise at that, too.


Obamacare had better cover this!!

Women will be able to control their sexual selves too. What's this world coming to when they're allowed sexual freedom???

I'm no expert, but doesn't viagra just help a guy with ED? Boosting libido would be the process of getting him excited before he suffers from ED, right?

Shouldn't it be more like "female testosterone"?

This is the only example I was able to find.



I remember another skit that starts with Benny chasing a girl around a barnyard. He catches her by the haystack. They fall down. He starts kissing her. She kisses him back. He starts to look worried. The skit ends with her chasing him around the barnyard.

If such a thing existed, well, they'd have to do a study on what to do about it, followed by a scholarly paper submitted for peer review, etc, etc, etc.

Schmucks.
