Sex is just another form of communication. Sometimes that falters in a relationship and no amount of talking or counselling can get you to feel that arousal again, because you're just out of practice. In such situations, this pill can be a good tool to use in order to get things jump started so to speak. I don't think it'd be wise to use it as anything but that, because as with all other medications, it would probably have some effects on the very thing it treats after a while.
Sometimes, talk is cheap and you need to actually do something instead of just talking about it.
Edit: Also, I also found that voat has it's own v/deadbedrooms sub, I recommend everyone to post about their experiences there if they can.

This drug, was originally used as an antidepressant, and is nothing like Viagra. It has serious side effects and only mild benefits. If I was a doctor, I'd be very cautious in prescribing this to anyone.

So, Viagra is for the man's problem, and low female libido is the man's problem too? Couldn't it be her problem if she can't keep the guy's libido up, and therefore keep everything else "up"? Maybe she picked the wrong guy if what he does doesn't work for her libido... Couldn't that be said to be her problem? I mean, couldn't she say "Hey, you know when you just sit on the couch, then try to jump right in to my vagina? That doesn't help me get 'in the mood'." Are guys supposed to be psychic and know right away what puts her in the mood? Every woman (and man) is unique, if I just say "Bitches love smiley faces" I'm yelled at for assuming that women are all the same (on top of saying "bitches"). What turns one woman on, might not turn another on.

What about when the thing that used to turn her doesn't do it anymore?
What about when she says it's not you, and that it's a hormonal/physical problem?
What about when you try to reignite her spark by doing all the things she says will work, but they don't?
What about when she gets pissed at you for doing those things because, "You're just doing them so you'll get laid"?
What about the fact that you've lost weight and she's gained weight, and you still find her attractive and desirable, but she doesn't believe you?
IS THERE A FUCKING PILL FOR THAT???

I'm sorry, I don't see this article just blaming men for everything. I see it pointing out a number of issues including stress, children, fatigue AND relationship issues. And since a relationship involves more than one person, the "blame" for that does not necessarily belong solely to the man.
Besides that, yes, I agree. Nobody's psychic. It would be nice if women always felt free to just say what they really want from their partner. But, you we're not raised that way, right? We're raised to pretend we never even think about sex, until we do actually have sex, and then we're expected to suddenly act like porn stars in bed, because that's what guys think is real. (Guys with not much life experience, anyway. Which is most of them when you're both 20 or whatever.) And, as women, if our sex life doesn't actually make us happy, we're afraid to say anything because society says if the guy is happy, we should also be happy, so this means there's something wrong with us, oh no! So, yeah, some women are going to be a bit messed up about sex and not understand why they're not always into it like they're "supposed" to be. And yes, they're often afraid to talk about it.
This pill will not help very many women. It's just an antidepressant. It might help if the person taking it also happens to be clinically depressed, and low libido is a symptom of the depression.

Same thing goes for guys. We're expected to have 8 foot cocks that fill every last nook and cranny and not even think about cumming until the girl has already had 1500 orgasms and only then may we cum.
society says if the guy is happy, we should also be happy
Nobody says this.
they're often afraid to talk about it.
Their problem, not anyone else's
This pill will not help very many women
How all-knowing of you!
You're saying you don't see the article as blaming men for everything and in the same comment you're basically saying that men are the cause because we have unrealistic expectations and "society" is telling you to shut the fuck up. Neither of those things is true. The mental gymnastics you're doing must be absolutely exhausting. Keep spinning that hamster wheel

Oh look, feminist BS from the CBC. There's a shocker.
