Female vigra or something similar - aiden15632 - 12-28-2024
Not sure if posting in the right section but here goes.What does female viagra actually do? I know what mens viagra does but confused about the stuff for women.Does it make them really horny or is this just a myth.
The reason I'm asking this is because my wife's lost her libido due to her health. She has chronic fatigue which, as most of you probably know, makes you tired all the time. Our sex life used to be quite regular and adventurous—an "anything goes" sort of thing. Now it's more like, "Pull my nighty down when you're finished," and that's only once in a blue moon. We're looking for something to help us out and bring the spark back into our bedroom life. I thought I'd try here first before going to see a doctor, which could take ages given the ongoing challenges with the pandemic.
Female Viagra, or medications marketed for improving women's sexual health, often raises curiosity and confusion. Unlike male Viagra, which primarily works by improving blood flow to the penis to aid erections, female-oriented medications often address different aspects, such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or even psychological factors that influence sexual desire. It's important to note that these medications might not directly make a woman feel "horny," but they may help enhance natural arousal by addressing underlying factors like fatigue, anxiety, or low blood flow to intimate areas.
For someone dealing with chronic fatigue syndrome, like your wife, the issue might not be purely physical. Chronic fatigue affects overall energy levels, which in turn can diminish sexual desire. Beyond medical solutions, some couples explore alternative therapies like counseling, lifestyle changes, or natural supplements designed to boost energy and improve mood. However, discussing these matters openly and compassionately with your wife is the first step to finding the right solution for both of you.
It's also worth exploring practical changes to your routine that may alleviate the effects of chronic fatigue and rekindle intimacy. For example, scheduling time for relaxation or bonding, indulging in activities that reduce stress, and creating an environment of emotional connection might help reignite her interest in intimacy. These approaches may not completely replace medical solutions, but they often work hand-in-hand to improve overall sexual wellness.
Lastly, while seeking advice here is a good start, consulting a healthcare professional remains crucial. Chronic fatigue and libido loss can be complex issues requiring a tailored approach. A doctor might suggest hormone therapy, prescribe medications like flibanserin (commonly referred to as "female Viagra"), or recommend other specialized treatments. In the meantime, take care of each other, maintain open communication, and remember that overcoming these challenges is a team effort.
Keep safe everyone!

Hey there, great topic. Female Viagra (or medications like flibanserin) works quite differently from the male version. As you mentioned, men’s Viagra is all about increasing blood flow to facilitate erections. For women, it’s more about addressing the underlying causes of low libido. Flibanserin, for instance, acts on the brain’s neurotransmitters—specifically dopamine and serotonin—to help balance mood and arousal. It’s less about instant physical stimulation and more about gradually improving a woman’s natural response over time.
That said, it’s definitely not a “magic pill” that makes women instantly horny. I think one big misconception is that women will have the same instant reaction that men do with their version of Viagra. In reality, it might take weeks of regular use to notice any difference, and even then, it’s not guaranteed. Plus, it only works for certain types of low libido, like hypoactive sexual desire disorder, which isn’t caused by other factors like relationship issues or underlying health conditions.
In your case, since your wife’s libido seems to be affected by her chronic fatigue, this might not be the ideal solution. Chronic fatigue syndrome impacts so many areas of life—energy levels, mood, physical health—all of which are tied to libido. A medication like this could help if there’s also a chemical imbalance at play, but you might need a combination of approaches to see real improvement.
Have you looked into counseling or natural supplements? There are herbs like maca root or ashwagandha that some people swear by for boosting energy and libido. Of course, I’d still recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to make sure whatever you try is safe and won’t interfere with her current treatments.

I can relate to what you’re going through. My wife and I went through a similar rough patch when she was dealing with post-pregnancy hormone changes. Her libido took a nosedive, and it really affected our relationship—not just in the bedroom but emotionally as well. It’s hard when one person feels rejected, even when you know it’s not personal.
We actually tried flibanserin for a while. It did help, but it wasn’t a cure-all. It’s more like a tool in the toolbox rather than a one-stop solution. What really made the difference for us was a combination of the medication and lifestyle changes. We started doing small things to prioritize her mental and physical health, like getting into yoga, eating a cleaner diet, and cutting down on alcohol. These changes seemed to help her feel more energetic and less stressed, which naturally boosted her libido.
One thing I’d suggest is approaching the topic carefully with your wife. It can be easy for these conversations to feel like pressure, even if you have the best intentions. When I brought up the idea of medication, I framed it as, “I want us both to feel good and connected again,” instead of focusing on what was missing. That made her feel like it was something we were working on together, not just a problem she had to solve alone.
Also, keep in mind that medications like flibanserin require a prescription and might not be a quick fix. They also come with side effects—my wife experienced dizziness and nausea at first, though it went away after a couple of weeks. Definitely talk to a doctor if you’re considering this route.

I agree with what others have said—female libido is a lot more complex than just popping a pill and being ready to go. It sounds like your wife’s chronic fatigue might be at the heart of the issue here, so addressing that first could make a big difference. Have you looked into therapies specifically for managing chronic fatigue? Things like acupuncture, mindfulness meditation, or even light exercise can sometimes help with the fatigue itself, which might indirectly improve her libido.
There are also some natural supplements that target both energy and libido. For example, ginseng is known for improving energy and circulation, while L-arginine can increase blood flow to intimate areas. These aren’t guaranteed solutions, but they’re worth exploring as part of a broader strategy. Just make sure to check with her doctor to ensure they’re safe given her health condition.
Another option to consider is relationship or sex therapy. I know this might sound like overkill, but sometimes having a neutral third party guide these conversations can make a world of difference. They can help identify barriers to intimacy that you might not even realize are there, like unspoken stress or miscommunication.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the power of small gestures to rekindle intimacy. Chronic fatigue can make anything feel like a chore, including sex, so finding ways to connect emotionally might help take the pressure off. Simple things like massages, cuddling, or just talking openly about your feelings can create a sense of closeness that naturally leads to more physical intimacy over time.

I think it’s important to remember that desire isn’t just physical—it’s deeply tied to emotional and psychological factors as well. For women, especially, feeling connected, relaxed, and stress-free is often a prerequisite for arousal. Chronic fatigue can make it nearly impossible to feel any of those things, which might be why your wife’s libido has taken such a hit.
Have you tried creating a more relaxed and sensual environment for her? Sometimes even small changes, like dimming the lights, playing soft music, or setting aside time for non-sexual touch, can help reignite that spark. It might seem cliché, but a lot of people overlook these simple steps in favor of more “practical” solutions.
Medications like female Viagra can be helpful, but they’re not a replacement for emotional connection. In fact, one of the criticisms of these drugs is that they focus on a medical solution to what is often an emotional or relational issue. If you think stress or lack of emotional intimacy might be a factor, it could be worth exploring that angle before diving into medication.
Also, don’t forget about her perspective in all this. Chronic fatigue can make a person feel like they’ve lost control over their own body, which can lead to feelings of guilt or inadequacy. Reassuring her that you’re in this together and that her health and happiness matter more than anything else can go a long way. Sometimes just feeling supported and understood is enough to spark a change.

I’ve done a bit of reading on this topic myself, and one thing that stands out is how important it is to manage expectations when it comes to female Viagra or similar medications. Unlike the male version, which has a pretty straightforward effect, the female version is much more subtle. It’s designed to help women who experience a specific type of low libido that isn’t caused by underlying conditions like chronic fatigue. In your wife’s case, it might help, but it’s unlikely to be a silver bullet.
Have you thought about consulting a specialist in women’s sexual health? They might be able to suggest tailored solutions that take her chronic fatigue into account. Hormone therapy could be an option, especially if her libido issues are linked to menopause or hormonal imbalances. There are also topical treatments, like creams or gels, that can increase blood flow to the clitoral area, which might be a more direct approach.
One thing I’d caution against is trying to fix this problem entirely on your own. While forums like this are great for sharing experiences and ideas, nothing beats professional medical advice. A doctor can run tests to identify the root cause of her libido loss and recommend treatments that are safe and effective for her specific situation.
In the meantime, keep the lines of communication open and focus on maintaining your emotional connection. Low libido can feel isolating for both partners, but reminding each other that you’re on the same team can make the journey a lot easier. Good luck, and I hope you find something that works for both of you!
