00:00Hey ladies! Who wants to talk about pre-menopausal sex?
00:05Ooh. High five?
00:07I'm Laura Wilcox and this is FemHead.
00:10Now when I say pre-menopausal sex, I'm talking to all my ladies who have not hit the change yet.
00:16So if you are like under 60 and you have not experienced hot flashes, you're gonna want to pay attention
00:21because this episode is for you.
00:23The FDA has finally thrown female sexuality a Hail Mary by approving the first ever drug
00:29that improves a woman's libido.
00:31It is called Addy.
00:33Or Addy.
00:35Or Addy.
00:36It's not important what it's called.
00:38What's important is that we have won the sexual revolution
00:44because it's a competition and it has been this whole time and we've been losing.
00:47Alright we did it ladies! We win at sex!
00:52Is that children's voices cheering?
00:54It feels like an odd choice.
00:56I'm not the director but...
00:58Look, I know a lot about the sex and I just listened to the entire Justin Bieber album
01:04so my libido is juicin'.
01:06But I wanted to talk to a real life sex therapist so she can tell us a little bit more
01:11about Addy
01:12and just like female sexuality in general.
01:15You know for you guys, not for me.
01:17Roll that tape!
01:20So tell me about this new drug called Addy, Addy, Addy.
01:28Addy.
01:29It is the first FDA approved drug to treat low sexual desire in pre-menopausal women.
01:36Okay.
01:37Menopause is when the whole thing happens.
01:39You're done.
01:40You're done.
01:40You're shut down.
01:41You're done.
01:41You're over.
01:42You're over.
01:43Yeah.
01:43Death is the next thing to look forward to.
01:46That's terrible.
01:47I think that there's, last I checked, a billion different sex drugs for men on the market
01:52and we have one.
01:54Why do you think it took so long for them to develop a drug for female sexuality?
02:00The measurement process for this drug is called soft measurement.
02:06Now when you have a Viagra, you give someone a pill, you give a guy a pill, and you can
02:11measure immediately the erection.
02:15Right.
02:15With something like Addy, you're measuring women's subjective reporting.
02:20It was better.
02:21It was good.
02:22It was medium.
02:23Well, you know, the lover wasn't great.
02:25Oh, he was great.
02:26There's all these confounding variables.
02:28Do you think it's possible for them to make a male drug, a drug for men, that makes it
02:34so men know where women's G-spot and clitoris are?
02:38Do you think that's something that is like in our future?
02:42That's not going to happen.
02:42No.
02:43Not even like a chance.
02:44No.
02:44You can have better ways of teaching them.
02:47Yeah.
02:48Like when I work with couples, like I always focus on teaching each other in a positive,
02:55sensual way rather than criticizing each other for what you're not doing.
02:59So using like a sexy voice like, um, you're just poking the side of my interior vaginal wall.
03:06Right.
03:08Here's a healthy vagina.
03:10When you are pre-menopausal, it tends to be juicy and full of vitamin C.
03:17But when you hit menopause, something happens where all the juice just...
03:29All the juice just sort of like...
03:32Sexy.
03:33I was hoping juice would squirt everywhere to demonstrate that we dry up.
03:37Uh, that didn't happen.
03:39See?
03:41With Viagra, some men run the risk of having like a 12-hour boner.
03:47Do women, if they take Addy, run the risk of having a 12-hour, like, lady boner that never goes
03:54down?
03:54Eh.
03:55That's all you worry about?
03:56I don't think that's a concern.
03:57There's only one major concern with Addy.
03:58What is it?
03:59You cannot drink alcohol.
04:00What happens if you drink alcohol?
04:01Your blood pressure goes, like, low to a point where it's...
04:05Oh, you die.
04:05You die.
04:06You could die.
04:07It's very expensive.
04:08Oh.
04:08It costs about $800 a month.
04:10Oh!
04:11You have to take it every night.
04:13I'm gonna pay $800 a month to not drink?
04:15Yes.
04:15Who is the ideal Addy patient?
04:18Who should be taking this drug?
04:23Alright!
04:24So, libido's for everyone!
04:26Yeah?
04:27You get a libido, and you get a libido, and you get a new libido!
04:32What?
04:33Addy!
04:34Thank God for it!
04:35What a great drug!
04:36I mean, if you have a very specific kind of low sex drive, if you hate drinking, and
04:42if you have an extra $800 a month lying around, then this is the drug you have been waiting
04:48for.
04:51Here's just a real quick crash course on female sexuality.
04:55The female vagina is a delicate fruit, one might say.
05:01It's also kind of mysterious and multilayered.
05:05Do you see why this is the perfect metaphor?
