    There are women with sexual dysfunction? An unknown phenomena en Chile.

    I darn't think what would happen if Chilean women got hold of this pill! We already have enough seismic activity.

    Sexual dysfunction?

    CFK's known conditions comprise the composite condition - including hypersexuality.
    What I'm unclear about is whether the little pink pill makes matters better or worse (for CFK).

    Unless “She who must be obeyed” is in a very foul mood, which requires a weekend trip out of Santiago.

    Invite a girl around to cook dinner for her and grind up a bunch of these pills in her food.
    No need to wait for the 3rd date!
    Such a time and money saver!

    I have only one question, does it work?

    Things are great till you marry them and the kids come along, then, oh boy! They need a major supply of headache medication.

    I've heard of 'limp-noodle', but never of 'limp-p*ssy'....

    “Female sexual dysfunction” is just a marketing term in this context. Speaking from experience, taking out the garbage, washing the dishes and a good back rub render pink pills superfluous.

    “Viagra for women” ... concern about side effects ... A tiny pink pill touted as “Viagra for women” ... bringing the first medical treatment for female sexual dysfunction one step nearer.

    Cristina de Kirchner will be able to stop her sexual dysfunction (hypersexuality) caused by her bipolar condition, by use of this little pill.
    This will give her some relief.

    Its not as if Viagra for men is that healthy....

    I wonder if women taking these pink pills will too be eligable to pass out in the wrong places with the wrong partners??
