I mentioned in another post that my doctor prescribed viagra (yes, women can take it) It increases the flow of blood to the genitals. Trial and error, it works best for me after 20-30 mins and within 1 to 1-1/2 hours after taking it.
GOOD LUCK

don't worry, you woman aren't alone, I was afraid to try it, you know it isn't easy to have to take a pill to try and have some sex.
I will now though once I meet someone, this group is great.
Glad to see that everyone is open about these things.

In reply to Wow, thanks!!!! I have to ask my doc about this! » lorily, posted by Colleen D. on July 1, 2004, at 21:19:03
I do want to mention though, if it doesn't work the very first time, don't worry. It took 2 or 3 tries for me. Since my blood pressure normaly is low all my life and the orginal clinical trials for viagra was for high blood pressure (yes, this miracle drug was an accident the doc told me) I was only prescribed 25mg didn't work, I tried 50mg and works. I do get a light-headed sensation, not unpleasant (could also just be arousal I'd gotten used to not being familiar with-lol) And the info packet does say that it may not work the first time for men, too. It's supposed to last for 4 hours, but doesn't for me, like I wrote earlier it takes 20-30 mins, then lasts for 1-1-1/2 hours. I'm glad this info helps. Glad I brought it up to the doc, and it was only because of my b/f taking a job with rotten hours that made sex a weekend only thing, so I had to make it count!!!!!!!!!
Good news is that job has changed and I am getting off the other meds so haven't had to use it in a while.
