Speedier Sperms & The New Little Clear Viagra PillEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Sperm can be quite surprising sometimes! Men produce 1500 sperm every second, and depending on the environment surrounding them, they can be fast or slow.  (This is quite independent of how fast or slow a guy gets to orgasm!) We have always known that nutrition is important to health, but we underestimated how important vitamins and minerals are to the speed of sperm and enhancing reproductive success. In sperm and sex, most men start out pretty fast but peeter out quickly.  Sperm ejaculated in the vagina may last a week, but outside the body survives only a few hours.  Average time to ejaculation during intercourse &#...

For the second time in the past year, a study has been released indicating that the little blue impotence pill can not only make one hard, but hard of hearing. To be specific, the trio of popular meds for erectile dysfunction - Viagra, Cialis and Levitra - were linked to 47 suspected cases of sensorineural hearing loss – a rapid loss of hearing in one or both ears that can become permanent, according to a study in The Laryngoscope. The UK researchers reviewed info from published literature and regulatory reports around the globe for incidents that may have been triggered by the pills. They found that hearing loss occurre...

Medicare Dollars Paid For Grandpa’s ViagraEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
How has Medicare been spending taxpayer dollars these last few years? What would you say if the federally funded health care program dished out more than $3.1 million to buy Pfizer’s Viagra and other impotence pills for seniors? Well, that’s what happened in 2007 and 2008, according to a new report from the US Department of Health & Human Services Office of the Inspector General. As you might imagine, this was not supposed to happen. Medicare “should not have covered these drugs,” George Reeb, acting deputy inspector general for audit services at the HHS wrote in a report released yesterday. And he rec...

Remember our discussion about sex, aging, and how Viagra screws over women? Well, a new film, Orgasm, Inc., is taking a look at the race to create a female Viagra, in order to cure the new epidemic of female sexual dysfunction — or, as we used to say: inability to orgasm. The film aims to expose how the pharmaceutical industry capitalizes on women’s personal and psychological issues, and even just women who haven’t learned enough about their anatomy. We haven’t seen it yet (Slate’s Andrew O’Hehir reviewed the film, if you want more details), but after watching the trailer, below, we’re...

Bad Breath BIG ErectionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Do you have a Potty Mouth? Boys with the baddest breath may have the biggest erections! Giving your guy some mouthwash might make for a really good kiss, but later in the bedroom, it’s his erection you may miss! Why?  Well, bacteria in the mouth convert nitrates into nitrites, and when we swallow them, gastric acids convert nitrites into the essential metabolic chemical nitric oxide (N.O.). Nitric oxide can act as an antioxidant, but also the body uses it to keep arteries properly dilated. This is how Viagra works  - by raising nitric oxide levels and thereby easing blood flow to the penis.  So killing these ...

Wondering what to do this weekend? Well, since Valentine’s Day is almost here, perhaps this is time to head for the local cinema and consider a hot, if not romantic, topic - female sexual dysfunction. A new documentary, called Orgasm Inc., which received some notice last year when a pill for the affliction was rejected by an FDA panel (read this), has just opened in some theatres. And its appearance is likely to renew a debate about the extent to which FSD is truly a disorder, whether medication may be a feasible solution and the marketing message promoted by the pharmaceutical industry.

Getting people to take their meds is always tricky business, but drugmakers should pay more attention to the colors of their over-the-counter salves, because color is a memory tag for compliance and can, not surprisingly, also be easily translated into brand loyalty, according to a paper in the International Journal of Biotechnology. After questioning 600 people who use OTC drugs, 75 percent cited color as an important way to remember specific meds, depending upon such variables as age, gender and religion (read the abstract).

If I pull her finger and she passes gas, I’ll get an erection? The stink of flatulence and rotten eggs could provide a surprising lift for men. Hydrogen sulphide (smell of sewer gas) causes erections in rats and may one day provide an alternative to Viagra for men.  The verdict is unclear about the gassy female Viagra effect, but so far it seems women don’t seem to get turned on as much by farting men. The smell of sex is in the air – too bad you might vomit. How Viagra Farts Work The penis is packed with spongy tissue that produces an erection when it fills with blood.

Earlier this year, Boehringer ingelheim helped reignite controversy over female sexual dysfunction – whether Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder is truly a disorder and the extent to which medication may be a feasible solution - with an aggressive marketing plan for a pill called flibanserin. The episode encapsulated the debate over medicine versus marketing and occurred during a run-up to a closely watched FDA advisory committee meeting this past summer in which the drugmaker failed to win a recommendation (look here). Since then, Boehringer ditched plans to seek FDA approval (see this). And so we spoke with Ray Moynihan,...

Who would have thought that celery could turn out to be far more effective than Viagra or any other sex-enhancing drug ever produced?

Elizabeth Shreve really has a unique way of expressing herself – I like it! It gets even better. Celery contains arginine, a natural amino acid that expands blood vessels much like Viagra. Yet, unlike Viagra, arginine also increases blood flow to the clitoris and makes female genitals more responsive. Furthermore, the actual aro...

Instead, the FDA panel voted 10-to-1 that flibanserin was not effective in increasing female libido, and then voted unanimously that potential side effects, such as depression and a loss of consciousness and depression, were unacceptable.

FDA Warns Pfizer For Failing To Report Side EffectsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In a stinging, 12-page letter, the FDA has scolded Pfizer for failing to meet regulatory deadlines for reporting serious side effects with many of its drugs, including Lipitor, Selzentry, Lyrica, Camptosar and Viagra, and neglecting to tell the agency about missing samples, some of which may have been stolen, although the FDA wasn’t always informed promptly. The May 26 warning was issued in response to a 6-week audit of Pfizer’s New York headquarters last summer. The delays in reporting adverse events go as far back as 2004 - and accelerated more recently. About 4 percent of 80,560 reports weren’t filed w...

Bandied about but never proven is the statistic that 43 percent of women suffer from this affliction (background). And so just in time for the regulatory show comes a new documentary called Orgasm Inc. (subtitled The Strange Science of Female Pleasure), w...

UAB Study Examines Hearing Loss, Viagra Use from uabnews on Vimeo. If at first you don’t succeed….well, you know try again. A professor, whose earlier work indicating Viagra causes vision loss was discredited, has just published a new study that suggests the potential for long-term hearing loss after using Viagra and possibly similar drugs such as Cialis and Levitra, although results for those pills are inconclusive. The study is in the Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (see the abstract). “It appears from these findings that the current government warning regarding hearing loss and the use...
