Summary

An 18 year-old man and his girlfriend are learning how to get it on. She can make herself come, but he can’t get her there himself. Would a vibrator be such a bad idea?  Dan welcomes comedian, writer and actress Ophira Eisenberg (host of NPR’s “Ask Me Another”) to discuss the wisdom of face tattoos and the sexiness of mansplaining.  On the Magnum, a family tiptoes around their gay son’s atrocious behavior because they’re afraid he’ll call them homophobic.  Hey penis-havers!

You're listening to the micro version of the Savage Lovecast, www.com.

0:05.8

If you're stuck in a relationship quandary, or if you're looking for sexual harmony,

0:15.8

well, there's nothing you can't pass on the savage love cast it's here viagra for women that was the headline in the

0:28.4

new york times last week viagra for women backed by an fda panel a lot of people scan headline

0:35.1

see a headline don't read the. And if you read the story about

0:39.7

Viagra for women, finally the men have had Cialis and the men have had Viagra for a long time,

0:46.4

more than a decade, and poor women have had nothing, no pill that they can take that makes them

0:52.5

horny or make some want to fuck. And finally, it's here, Viagra for Women.

0:56.2

But if you read the piece, if you read the whole story, it's a lot more complicated than that and a lot more worrisome than that.

1:04.3

Because this new drug, which is called something unpronounceable, I'm sure I'm going to mispronon-fyancerin. Fly banseran. I'm not

1:16.4

sure which syllable to put the emphasis on, but we'll call it flybancorin here on the podcast.

1:24.6

It's a daily drug that women can now take. The FDA has approved it. It's going to be rolled out that treats what's called hypoactive sexual desire, which is women with low to no sexual desire where there are not other problems. There's not an underlying medical issue that's been diagnosed. They're not angry at their partners, women who just don't want to

fuck and feel bad about it and would like to fuck. This pill is supposedly, it's been developed and designed, to make them want to fuck, to make them horny.

1:59.7

Treats that condition,

2:00.8

that inability to get and keep an erection.

2:03.6

That's what Viagra does. Viagra doesn't take a not horny guy and make him horny. It takes a horny guy and makes him operable, right? What this drug does is it takes, theoretically, a non-horny woman and makes her horny, makes her want to fuck. This drug, this same drug, was rejected

2:18.6

twice before and once rejected unanimously by the same FDA panel, but it has now been approved

2:24.2

after a campaign waged by an organization called Even the Score that presented the approval of this

2:31.2

drug as kind of a gender equity issue because guys had a pill,

2:35.8

women deserve their own pill.

2:41.3

Even if the pill we're talking about for women doesn't really fucking do much.
