据英国《每日邮报》5月29日报道，随着能提高性欲的女性“伟哥”新药――“力比多”即将上架，两位女记者莎侬斯巴利(Shona Sibary)与凯利 萝斯 布拉福德(Kelly Rose Bradford)在名为《今早》的一档电视节目中就各自对于“女性伟哥”的看法展开激烈辩论。

莎侬认为，女性性冲动多由情感连结而起。在性这件事上，女性比男性复杂得多，药丸不能在情感上激发女性性欲。她认为服用“力比多”只能“掩盖”夫妻之间的问题，并不能解决实际问题。

而凯利则认为女性有责任为了生活伙伴提高性冲动，她相信新药能挽救那些挣扎中的婚姻。凯利说，女性“伟哥”能帮助那些性欲不高的女性防止丈夫出轨。

节目嘉宾哈珀博士补充道，女性“伟哥”的主要市场目标是婚姻幸福但性欲下降的女性，这是提供给她们的一种选择。对于想要重拾性欲的女性来说，这药将很有作用。女性“伟哥”更像是一种能刺激情绪的抗抑郁药物。

With a new pill that claims to boost female libido set to hit shelves in three years, two women have been at loggerheads on live television debating the pros and cons of such a medical advancement.

Journalists Shona Sibary and Kelly Rose Bradford appeared on This Morning to share their thoughts on Lybrido - known informally as 'female Viagra' or 'Sheagra' - with Sibary believing no such pill could work on women as it does with men, because for females sex is too dependent on an emotional connection.

Bradford, however, said women 'have a responsibility to keep their libidos high' for their partners, and believes the pill could help save floundering marriages.

Dr Harper added that for a woman to lose her libido is a serious thing, but that the pill - not manufactured by the same pharmaceutical company that make Viagra - should be considered as an option only by women who are happy in their marraiges and for whom a low libido is their only complaint.

Could this pill save your marriage?

She said: 'I think the pill does have a place among the few women who have lost their libido and would very much like it back, but who are otherwise happy.

'There are others who have lost their libidos for different reasons - maybe they are unhappy in their marraige or don't fancy their man anymore - but that's a different issue.'

Sibary said women are more complicated sexually than men, and that the pill would not stimulate females emotionally.

She said: 'If you're a man and you want to have sex for the sake of having it, fine, pop a pill and have sex in the mechanical way.

'But women are different. I'm the type of woman this drug is targeting, and we want to feel desirable and desired: it's not a chemical thing, it's an emotional thing.'

Dr Harper said that while Viagra's secondary, mechanical side effect was discovered while creating a pill for angina, the female libido pill works more like an anti-depressant and so does stimulate emotions.
