ABSTRACT
With the introduction of Viagra in 1998, there was a revolution involving the origin and treatment of sexual problems. The prior belief was that sexual problems were caused by psychological or relational factors. Since 1998, the pendulum has swung to the opposite extreme. Sexual dysfunction (especially for males) is viewed as a medical/physical problem, with the emphasis on finding the right medical treatment. Women hope that medical science will develop a female equivalent of Viagra for desire, arousal, and orgasm problems. “Better living through chemistry” has swept the sexual field.
