Viagra has pretty much revolutionized the way older men get it on. Giving them the ability and drive to perform, there’s now buzz around a new drug specifically designed for females to do the same. The once-daily pill developed by Germany’s Boehringer Ingelheim, is the first non-hormonal drug for women with low sex drive. The drug known as flibanserin has had promising clinical trials by both increasing a lady’s horny factor and by providing her a more satisfying sexual experience.

Flibanserin targets the chain of chemical reactions in the brain defined as sexual excitement. ”By modulating the neurotransmitter system, flibanserin may help to restore a balance between inhibitory and excitatory factors leading to a healthy sexual response,” said Elaine Jolly, a Canadian gynecologist and medical researcher who helped oversee the trials.

During the year long flibanserin trials, a woman’s sexual satisfying events (not necessarily orgasm) rose from 2.8 to 4.5 per month. In the control group, the rate rose 3.7 events. Regardless, women are having more pleasure during sex thanks to this drug and its trials so hey, that’s a good thing. Side effects include the normal drowsiness and nausea.
