[struggle4progress]

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A drug that could do for women what Viagra has done for men is being tested at the University of Virginia. The drug is a testosterone-laden ointment called LibiGel and it's intended to boost the libido of women who have lost interest in sex. It will be prescribed at UVa in coming months to women who are suffering from hypoactive sexual desire disorder.

7. No thanks

One thing I've been grateful since I've gotten older is that my sex drive has gotten stuck in neutral. Oh, it would have been different had orientation been something we could choose, older lesbians still have a chance out there. Alas, it's not, and I'm stuck being straight, stuck in neutral.

All the men my age are hanging around women at least 20 years their junior. Having any sort of a sex drive right now would be a source of nothing but frustration and anger.
