This is a lame ploy by big pharmaceutical companies to create a market that has no need to exist. What women with low libido need is romance, sensitivity and good foreplay, not another overpriced pill. Why don't these companies spend some time on real health issues instead of trying to create another felt inadequacy in women that they can then "fix " with another pill?
Low desire is not a problem if you think it's fair to hold your partner to monogamy while depriving him/her of your cooperation with it. Building a protective wall around your relationship also implies a commitment to supply the marriage with an internal source of nourishment. The walls of monogamy are a prison cell otherwise. Fidelity isn't just about vowing to avoid sexual contact with others, it's also about not cheating your partner.
If low desire partners are trying not to force semi-celibacy on their spouses but are having trouble with their own body, then why wouldn't they try medication as one part of a possible solution?
I think that we are often to quick to take medication when there are underlying psychological factors or other things that need to be tended to. Often times changing our thoughts or behavior/actions can produce the same results that medications do, and there are less side-effects from this natural change.

I have to agree with Anonymous. I know many people have libido issues but another 'wonder pill' does not seem like a solution to me.

I would just accept the fact that I no longer have sexual desire. Who cares? Why is this something you need to "fix"?
