I have a hard time imagining that Viagra would improve libido or sexual desire, although it works great for sexual *functioning*.Even though it is pricey, if you can get insurance to cover it, I think it is the best we have at this point. No, it doesn't improve the desire, but it has been shown to restore nocturnal erections in males, and increased blood flow to the female clitoris. (There is a good section on this in 'Noonday Demon'.) With a little bit of effort on our part, a good portion of overall sexual satisfaction can be achieved. And..yes that is a good thing, indeed. :-)
