A useful link is
http://pharmacy.ucsf.edu/ccsc/medq/viagra/
It points out that Viagra is not an "aphrodisiac", all it does it help a man achieve/ maintain an erection, it does not affect sexual desire.
As such, whilst it may also, in the female, cause engorgement of the clitoris (it being erectile tissue just as the penis is) and possibly the vaginal area, thus potentially increasing stimulation, it is not a "cure" for female sexual disorders as such and wouldn't have the same sort of effect as it would, of course, on many men.

This is not aimed at you, personally, but it's a shame that there is this "macho culture" in men that effectively *requires* such a denial to be made.
The TV ads for the InformED with Pele were, at least a step forward in pointing out that many men *do* have erection problems, it was just a shame that the site was just a blatant shill for Pfizer to flog Viagra.
It's also a fact that many men would be too embarassed to go even to their doctors to talk about a problem and, as such, end up feeling miserable when they don't need to.
There are apparently some herbal products etc out there which *are* effective (or, at least, effective in, say 90% - 95% of cases), a recent article in ETO (Erotic Trade Only) Magazine (Yep! We have our own trade paper!).
Some of these reports come from people I have good reason to trust the veracity of, since I have been doing business with them for years now, so I think they're credible, but like most people I've been put off because of the sheer number of scammers and spammers and people who would swear on a stack of bibles and their mother's grave to sell you something that would have as much effect as a lump of sugar.
The problem is that, because of people like these and the lack of (expensive) pharmaceutical testing, too many people are reluctant to experiment with something that may be an expensive waste.
As such, so far I've always steered clear of these products because the reputation of my business is important to me and I don't want to lose customers by selling non-functional rubbish, but in light of the article in ETO I may change my mind on this and, yes, I *would* try out the products myself to make sure they do what they claim.
