While women await drugs to help boost their libidos, pharmaceutical companies have developed pills that help aroused men wait a little longer.
Priligy, a new drug developed by Johnson & Johnson, is designed to help men who experience premature ejaculation (PE) last longer in bed. The pill, on sale in nine countries, awaits approval from the FDA before it can assume its rightful place in popular culture alongside Viagra. Meanwhile, other drug companies are developing similar anecdotes to early male orgasms.
One drug company rep explained to the New York Times: "PE is more prevalent than ED (erectile dysfunction). One in three men actually have the condition." But, as one psychiatrist points out, if one in three men ejaculate "early" is that really a disorder that needs a drug treatment? Either way, I guess it won't be too hard to find a spokesman!

$50 on this being covered by health insurance, while my birth control still costs an arm and a f*cking leg.
1Male birth control, please? I'm sure this will be covered by insurance, mondaymoos... apparently it's fixing something that doesn't work right, as opposed to keeping something from working right. Spokesperson for this though? Who wants their name on PE? I vote for an armada of anonymous geeks with pocket protectors... they should at least make the commercials funny. Geek Squad goes around to random male models offering up PE drugs like breath mints... now there's a commercial!
2No pill will make an oblivious guy a better lover.
3Also? Frak yes to MondayMoos. Give me a break, patriarchy.
4I agree with everyone else. Also seriously, why can't we work on some more stuff for women here?
5What? Why a 'pill' for premature ejaculation? I thought that's what Jack Daniels was for....
I'll be holding out for my loverbots and holodecks then....
6Yet another crazy excuse for pharmaceutical companies to drain the pockets of the world citizens. Most men suffer from premature ejaculation because of behaviors developed during the teenage years; masturbate in two minutes or less before mom or dad walking. Do this time after time and your body will get accustomed to it. Instead of drugs men should practice some useful techniques to help them overcome premature ejaculation.
