FLIBANSERIN/ADDYI IS NOT THE FEMALE EQUIVALENT OF VIAGRA!!!

That claim is completely erroneous and based on dishonest and downright atrocious marketing.

Flibanserin increases sexual desire/libido by altering the levels of neurochemicals (namely serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine). Viagra does NOT do this. Viagra deals with the physiology not responding to existing libido/sexual desire. The female equivalent of Viagra is lubricant, not Flibanserin. 

Viagra doesn’t make the attempt to “normalize” sexual desire and/or dictate how often one should have “sexually satisfying experiences”. It’s a take-as-needed pill that one uses to get their body parts to cooperate with the libido they already possess. Flibanserin/Addyi’s marketing is claiming that those who do not reach a certain level of sexual desire are not “normal” and that they need a pill to correct that. This is the problem in relation to asexuality.

Viagra dialates the veins in the penis to create an erection. Flibanserin is NOT like viagra. flibanserin is the kind of thing people would put slip into peoples drinks to make them more willing to have sex. it’s something that will probably lead to more rape.
