Pink Thrill

The search for a female Viagra or Pink Viagra is sparking debate in the headlines again. Can a pill give the girls a thrill? Probably not. Certainly the pharmaceutical companies can increase blood flow to the pelvic area even concentrating it on the clitoris but that was never the problem.

In the pharmacopeias of Traditional Chinese Medicine male desire and performance has dozens of herbs to assist: deer horn, centipede, animal testes, horny goat weed and lamb to mention just a few. The sole female enhancer is Tibetan Saffron of which no one seems to bother to make extract vials or capsules you can buy at a convenience store. The number of Chinese alone testifies to their knowledge of sex.

So right now credit cards remain the most potent female aphrodisiac. Indeed, as a bald economist I speculate that the entire economy of the developed world would collapse if seduction could be concentrated into a pill. The only restaurants remaining would be fast food. Who would need a Porsche or a Cadillac? The gem trade would disappear. Movies would have to find real stories and most music would be patriotic. Chocolate would be for kids and fashion would conform to human comfort and functionality.

No one wants to live in a world like that. So for those with money splurge. For those with few bucks I’m afraid expenditures in consideration, patience and caring will have to continue into the fuckable future.
