    Probably something like that… Sucks.

    And it’s kinda stupid too. PMS is well known to not be conductive to female libido, and female libido is conductive to Viagra sales. So why not sell it to women too (=more sales) which might increase the occasions to sell it to men as well.

      IDK if i have a partner i want them to be comfortable. Idk whether there’s just a lot of incels in powerful places or men have historically just hated the women they’re with. Either way that’s one reason I don’t identify as a man.

        I wonder if actually helpful PMS medication would cannibalize e.g. pain medication sales. Generic viagra is super cheap, and in the study they used just one dose. So if that’s the actual dosage required in the end, that could cost the pharmaceuticals industry money.

        Similar to with vas occlusive contraception. It’s really easy, simple, dirt cheap, lasts long, is reversible, non-hormonal, no side effects male contraception. It’s basically the perfect contraception and it’s the only reversible long-term contraception that men can use.

        But it was dropped because it would pretty much annihilate the female contraceptive industry, which makes a huge amount of money each year.
