Orgasm Inc.
Drugmakers are busy looking for a cure for female sexual dysfunction. Where will this "quest for a female Viagra" eventually lead? A few of the exciting options that may (or may not) be available to you in a few years:
There's LibiGel, a testosterone gel you apply to the skin; bremelanotide, a peptide solution that you have to inject into your vein with a hypodermic needle; and flibanserin, an antidepressant that comes in pill form, thankfully, but does something mysterious to human brain chemistry to create a sense of desire.
There's also the "Orgasmatron" (no, not that Orgasmatron), which a doctor/inventor has been testing out and makes jamming a needle into your arm before jumping into bed sound like fun. It's a "semi-permanent" device that involves implanting electrodes in the lower spine, costs $12,000, and could lead to "paralysis, infection, and/or incontinence" if the procedure isn't done correctly.
