Michelle Weber says that when her boyfriend wanted to take Viagra, his insurance paid for it, no questions asked. So when she wanted to take the new “female Viagra” for her sexual problems, she figured that would go smoothly, as well. But it didn’t. Her insurance company refused to pay for the drug, called Addyi, saying she’d have to see a psychiatrist first. “They don’t tell men who want Viagra that they have to see a psychiatrist,” said Weber, 38, who asked that her real name not be used, in order to protect her and her boyfriend’s privacy. Indeed, they don’t, say doctors who treat sexual dysfunction. And these doctors say the psychiatrist requirement is just one of many “barriers” that insurance companies have put in place for women, but not men, who are seeking drugs to treat sexual problems.
I don’t know what those bitches keep complaining about, clearly, we don’t need feminism anymore.
P.S. Can someone tell me why female Viagra is pink?

Sex Tips I Learned at the New York Public Library (Atlas Obscura)
The prestigious collection that houses Alice Lidell’s copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland also holds a vast trove of erotica, some of it created by the revered authors who wrote the most prized works in the archive. Alongside an assortment of pulp paperbacks and counterculture zines from the 20th century, you’ll find several pornographic sketches drawn by literary greats such as Faulkner and Kerouac.
Though these often one-of-a-kind, tightly copyrighted works are no doubt priceless, when I first heard about the Berg’s collection of erotica all I could think about was a different kind of value: the treasure trove of sexual knowledge potentially held within these volumes. What kinds of weird and wondrous sex tips and tricks were held within these illicit pages?
My favorite part of this article is how Jack Kerouac didn’t know how tan lines work, because he would draw a woman’s genitals and breasts darker than the rest of her body, like a reverse tan line bikini.
For instance, the females of many bird species had been thought to be exclusively monogamous, with the female faithfully sticking with her chosen partner.
In fact, this could not be further from the truth. Female birds often have dalliances even when in a stable partnership. Among the fairy wren, for instance, just 5% of the clutches will have been fathered by a single mate.
As further evidence, Tang-Martinez points out that female lionesses may mate 100 times a day with a string of different partners. The same seemingly-indiscriminate lust can be seen in many species of primates: not just the famously sexually-active bonobos, but langurs, lemurs and capuchin monkeys. That’s not to mention countless studies of beetles, crickets, salamanders, snakes, geckos and house mice.
Evolutionary biology is rife with misconceptions do to the way we perceive relationships between males and females. It’s definitely one branch of science deeply affected by our own biases.
