Millions
of women suffer from female sexual dysfunction. But
by its very nature they don't talk about it -- until
now. Now there's an answer to that unspeakable sexual
problem. It's been something you don't talk about even
with your mother or your longtime mate -- female sexual
dysfunction. Women tend to 'fake it' to avoid hurt feelings.
Susan
Hadnott/Had Problem:
"My husband would say c'mon. And I'd say, oh, ok.
Go through the process, you know how it is."
Devon
Bankett/Viacreme Spokesman:
"Women still like what they've done for years,
always doing the faking thing. And (men) got egos (from
being told) 'You're the greatest.'" The problem
runs in epidemic proportions among American women. Experts
say 50 million suffer from not being able to reach orgasm
during sexual intercourse. The result -- strained relationships.
Terri
Norton/Viacreme User:
"Women just don't like to talk about these little
things." Now there is Viacreme, a doctor-designed,
all-natural topical cream that is being touted as the
'Viagra for women' and the answer to an age-old problem.
Twiler
Portis/Viacreme User:
"We had an awesome experience. I really believe
in this product. Not just that I had a maximum level
of intensity." Invented two years ago, Viacreme
is made of natural ingredients -- menthol and amino
acids. Unlike Viagra, you don't need a doctor's prescription
and you don't ingest it.
Curtis
Broome/Viacreme Spokesman:
"It is topically applied to clitoral tissues which
allows women to experience maximum arousal in clitoral
erection, which is necessary for sexual orgasm."
Although
not for men, they too are enjoying Viacreme's side benefits.
Darryl Tidbury/Likes Viacreme:
"It's just taken it to a different level (and made
sex) more intense level for her."
With Viacreme, women are saying, you can have it all.
Dena
Brooks/Viacreme User:
"Be successful, be powerful, have your children,
have careers and have a great orgasm."
But
seriously, Viacreme is not for everyone. Consult your
doctor first. Pregnant women are advised not to use
it. It is sold only through distributors for about $12
a tube.

Viagra for Women
Wednesday May 16th Viacreme was featured on the popular
TV show "Extra". An excerpt of some of the
dialogue is below with a couple of powerful testimonials.
Aphrodisiacs
have a long and spicy history. Roman orgies included
oysters and eels. The ancient Chinese secret was ginseng.
Now men have Viagra. But what about women?
They
finally may have found the secret to sizzling sex....Viacreme....The
topical gel is supposed to increase a woman's sexual
pleasure. But does it really work? We had two couples
put it to the test.
At
first "Temptation Island" temptress Vanessa
Norris and boyfriend Micki Steef were a little skeptical.
But after four tingly nights? Vanessa says, "It's
kinda tingly and warm, and then you feel like I'm a
little fireball."
Sheri
Thomas and Joey Scoleri got a major kick too. Sheri
says, "It's exciting. It's like the craziest thing
that's ever come along."
While
Joey says, "I just like the fact that's she's more
excited."

Gloria
Larson says the cream made all the difference.
Women's
version of Viagra
SEATTLE,
March 29, 2001, 11:15 PM - It's a problem that affects
about 42 percent of women after menopause - decreased
sex drive. But now a new treatment is being tested...
It's
called Viacreme and one can guess where it got its name.
Gloria Larson's sexual awakening came in a box - a cream,
to be exact. Viacreme is being dubbed a woman's version
of Viagra.
Dr.
K. Yankapolus is marketing Viacreme in Florida. He says
the cream works wonders for women who've lost their
sexual appetite. For Gloria, the results were immediate.
The cream is not a drug and therefore has not been approved
by the Food and Drug Administration. In fact, there's
no hard evidence that Viacreme really works, but there
is a long list of satisfied customers like Gloria.

Equal
Opportunity
Women are eager to participate in the Viagra revolution
By
LAN N. NGUYEN
When
Viagra hit the market in 1998, it caused a seismic shift
in sexual attitudes and expectations. Some 50 million
men — Bob Dole included — and 500 million
little blue pills later, Viagra has removed erectile
dysfunction (ED) from the list of taboo subjects and
restored confidence to many men who spent years struggling
with ED.
But
what about women?
Viagra
has changed relationships between couples. The advent
of Viagra has certainly affected women, though not always
positively. Wives who had grown accustomed to marriages
with infrequent sex have had to deal with their spouses'
renewed desire. "Viagra made their husbands want
to add intimacy to a relationship that had not been
there for 10 to 15 years," says Dr. Mark Dykowski,
a physician at Generations OB/Gyn Center in Birmingham,
Mich. "That has put a lot of stress on the relationship."
But
other women have responded by demanding their own version
of the miracle pill. "Twenty years ago, you didn't
talk about this," recalls Dr. Judith Reichman,
a gynecologist and author of "I'm Not in the Mood"
(Quill, $12). "When women got older and their libido
diminished, or when they were in menopause and had dryness,
it was not discussed — it was felt that that was
the way it was. But the baby boomers don't accept anything.
They want a cure."
As
a result, the medical and pharmaceutical communities
have been encouraged to study female sexual problems.
In 1998, a panel of experts arranged female sexual dysfunction
(FSD) into the four categories: desire disorders, arousal
disorders, orgasmic disorders and pain disorders (including
vaginismus, in which penetration is painful, if not
impossible).
Despite
the new classifications, FSD remains difficult to diagnose
and treat. To begin with, physicians and therapists
need to consider whether the problem is chiefly physiological
or psychological. For example, certain medications,
such as anti-depressants, can diminish libido, lubrication
and arousal. Hormonal imbalances and illnesses can also
have an effect.
"Women
are a little more complex than men," says Dr. Virginia
Sadock, clinical professor of psychiatry at New York
University Medical Center. "It may be the feminization
of the brain, that we don't have the same androgen receptors.
Also, testosterone is the hormonal basis for libido
in men and also in women, and men have more of it."
All
in Her Head?
But
a woman's feelings about the quality of her relationship
or reservations about a partner can also affect her
desire, arousal and ability to achieve orgasm. Doctors
first need to determine when the problem arose and whether
it has been manifested with all partners or just a current
one. A woman may also suffer from more than one disorder.
Pain during intercourse, for instance, would understandably
lead to diminished desire and arousal.
Sadock
points out that a dysfunction may also have a cultural
explanation: A woman brought up to think sex is dirty
is more likely to experience sexual difficulties. Transient
sexual disinterest may also be rooted in our deep evolutionary
history; sexual dysfunction may have developed as a
way to prevent unwanted pregnancies.
A
visit to a Web site like drugstore.com can unearth
a variety of remedies for diminished arousal —
from herbal supplements like horny goat weed to emollients
like Viacreme.
Other treatments include marital counseling and pelvic
exercises. Some women on anti-depressants have switched
to Wellbutrin, which has been found not to suppress
libido like Prozac or Zoloft do.
