Testosterone spray Axiron could solve some man problems.
According to Bloomberg, the company Acrux may be on the way to making some big dollars and some couples really happy. The company is testing a testosterone-boosting drug called Axiron that restores hormone levels to normal in 84 percent of test subjects after four months of testing.
As you may know, low man-juice (testosterone, in this case) can lead to memory loss, osteoporosis and erectile malfunctions. Obviously, the major selling point for the drug, which is applied via underarm spray, is as tonic for Erectile Dysfunction. Read: Why Do Older Men Get ED?

Viagra helps men fight ED. This much we know. But is that ultimately a good thing?
We don't have the pleasure of owning a man parts, so we can't speak directly about erectile dysfunction or any other such problems. But William Leith, a writer for The Daily Mail (who we're pretty sure owns one), has some out-of-the-box ideas about the sexual wonder drug Viagra and how it may not really help either gender in the sex department. Viagra Boosts Release of "Love Hormone"
The pills, he thinks, may give men a false sense of sexual prowess. While a flaccid penis isn't fun for anyone, does a rock hard member really ensure … Read More
There is a thick line between Priapism and regular hilariously inopportune erections.
According to Asylum, an ex-con named Dawud Yaduallah is suing New York's penal system (heh) over failure to treat his 55-hour erection. Per the suit, the former guest of the state was told to ice down his groin by the prison's female nurse and was not admitted to a hospital for two days. This Priapism case was the gift that kept giving as it led to erectile dysfunction, painful sex (not in a Mellencamp kind of way) and the inability to climax (b-ing an l, if you will). While I would imagine that a female nurse (is … Read More
Pfizer doesn't want your sex life to suffer like your bank account. Free Viagra!
Pfizer—arguably the world's largest pharmaceutical company—is selflessly sacrificing their bottom line and focusing on your performance ratings.
It was announced today that Pfizer will offer free drugs (yes, even Viagra) to everyone who lost their jobs and health insurance since January 1st. Far away in the distance you can hear the whimpered cries of the guy who was laid off the last week of December. Yeah, total bummer. We feel for you.
The drug company is planning on doling out 70 of their "most widely prescribed" drugs, free of charge, as long as you can a.) provide a pink slip … Read More

Love Bytes: three must click sex, dating and relationship links.This woman pays her boyfriend's bills, he lies about his spending, and for some reason she doesn't know what to do.

Who would have guessed.
Look out, Viagra! Your long stint of unrivaled success may come up against a new competitor in a few years. What's behind this new threat to the mighty blue pill? The malodorous (some may say nauseating) gas, hydrogen sulfide. That's the substance responsible for the stench of flatulence, rotten eggs and car exhaust, the unpleasant smell that makes us scrunch up our noses and 10-year-old boys curl over with laughter.
This doesn't mean anyone should bottle up the fumes and take a big whiff before engaging in a lovemaking session. But the discovery that the gas plays a role … Read More
Relationship advice isn't easy and sometimes the pros mess up.
There is a boatload of people giving advice on the interweb these days. Some of them are doctors. Some of them are the offspring of advice royalty.

Every couple of weeks, I like to find advice that I'm not thrilled with and FIX IT! Slate's Dear Prudence (AKA Margo Tenenbaum Margo Howard) has come across a little problem regarding the lil blue pill. It turns out that a man … Read More
Testosterone in the sex patch for women may not be safe, regulators say.
I have come to pump you up!
Will older women finally be able to take a testosterone-laden sex patch, the female equivalent of Viagra?
Only in Europe, as the sex patch Intrinsa may not be available in the U.S. for some time, reports the Wall Street Journal.
Procter & Gamble has sought approval for the female sex patch since 1999, but regulators are concerned that the increased amount of testosterone could up an older woman's cancer risk. That's terrible news for women looking for lovin' and frustrated by advances in men's sexual health.

Prolonged erections are known as priapism, and they happen to women too!
You've heard the warnings on the Viagra commercials saying that if your erection lasts longer than 4 hours you should call a doctor. Well, in this piece, MSNBC explores prolonged erections, known as priapism. These ultra hard-ons don't come from being turned on and they don't go away after you orgasm.
They occur when the penis fills with blood, as in a normal erection, but for some reason it's unable to get out. Apparently they're extremely painful, and really do need a professional's attention. A doctor will drain the … Read More
