FDA Authorizes Latex Panties To Wear During Oral Sex

ALEXA FONTANILLA / AGGIE

In a historical first, the FDA has authorized panties to be used during oral sex to protect against STIs. The ultrathin, super-stretchy, vanilla-flavored panties are meant to be worn during oral sex for people “with vulvas.” For people of all ages, a protective barrier that is enjoyable to use could “reduce anxiety and increase pleasure around that particular behavior,” said a doctor who helped make the panties.

The only product previously authorized for protection during oral sex was a dental dam—a thin, rectangular sheet of latex (or sometimes polyurethane) that typically must be held in place with one’s hands to form a barrier between the mouth and genitals. “The F.D.A.’s authorization of this product gives people another option to protect against S.T.I.s during oral sex,” said director of the F.D.A. office that led the review of the underwear. “What’s interesting about this is that they have basically eroticized protection, which is something that condom companies have struggled with for years.”

FDA Authorizes First Condom Specifically Marketed For Anal Sex

The US Food and Drug Administration announced its first-ever authorization of a condom specifically intended for anal sex. The patootie prophylactics by Boston-based manufacturer Global Protection Corp. will be marketed as the One Male Condom, the agency said. They also are “indicated as a contraceptive to help reduce the risk of pregnancy and the transmission of STIs during vaginal intercourse,” the FDA noted.

“While today’s authorization underscores the public health importance of condoms tested and labeled specifically for anal intercourse, all other FDA-cleared condoms can continue to be used for contraception and STI prevention,” the FDA said. Companies have previously not been able to market condoms specifically for anal sex; experts believes this change will encourage LGBTQ folks to have safe sex. Bottoms up!

‘Big Penis’ Sex Supplement Is Dangerous, Warns FDA

inflatable-tubeAn over the counter sexual supplement called “Big Penis” has men packing more than they bargained for. The FDA has issued a warning for the drug, saying there’s a hidden ingredient that could be dangerous for users. “FDA laboratory analysis confirmed that Big Penis contains sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra,” said the Food and Drug Administration in a recent press release.

“This undeclared ingredient may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs, such as nitroglycerin, and may lower blood pressure to dangerous levels,” the agency explained. “People with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease often take nitrates.” Including an FDA-approved prescription drug such as Viagra with an over the counter stimulant is highly illegal and can lead to patients suffering severe side effects that they didn’t sign up for.

FDA Approves Shot To Boost Women’s Sex Drive

viagraThe FDA approved a new drug to boost low sex drive for women. The medication comes in the form of a shot to the thigh or abdomen, and is only the second FDA-approved drug to enhance women’s sexual desire. The drug will be marketed under the name Vyleesi, and will be used to treat premenopausal women with a hypoactive sexual desire disorder, or a persistent lack of interest in sex.

The pharmaceutical industry has pointed to surveys in recent years that indicate the sexual disorder affects one in 10 women. The approval was based on women’s responses to questionnaires that showed increases in sexual desire and decreases related to stress. While the women didn’t report having more sex, as the drug’s chief medical officer says, “Women are not desiring more sex. They want better sex.”

‘Rhino’ Sex Enhancement Pills Can Cause Prolonged Erections, FDA Warns

9741737763_d422cd07c8_zThe Food and Drug Administration has issued a stiff warning about a black-market male enhancement pill called “Rhino.” The drug, commonly found at gas stations, convenience stores, and on eBay, contains potentially dangerous ingredients, many of which are not listed on the packet. Some of the hidden ingredients are similar to those found in prescription erectile dysfunction pills like Viagra and Cialis.

The FDA said it’s received reports of people who’ve experienced symptoms ranging from severe headaches to extended erections after taking “Rhino” pills. The hidden ingredients are phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors, which could interact with nitrates in prescription drugs used to treat people with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease, the FDA warned.“Over the past few years, the FDA has been combating the retail sale of male enhancement drug products that are frequently misrepresented as dietary supplements and that contain hidden and potentially harmful active drug ingredients,” said the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

FDA Approves Drug to Help Sexual Desire in Women

femaleviagraAfter being rejected twice by the FDA, the third time’s a charm for flibanserin, the new drug that helps women with low sexual desire. While flibanserin may sound like the female Viagra, it’s actually very different. Viagra treats the physiological problem in men of not being able to respond to the desire they feel; this drug aims to treat the problem of not feeling desire in general, which is mental not physical. For this reason, the drug has been controversial, and many people wonder if it can even be effective.

Basically, for the 8-9% of women who have low sexual desire (meaning there’s nothing physically wrong; they just have no motivation for sex), the drug is said to rewire the “desire circuits” in their brains to help them eventually feel more motivation to have sex. Women with this problem have a hard time turning off the critical or judgmental part of their brains when it comes to sex, so this drug hopes to increase the brain’s reward circuits to make sex more exciting and less cerebral. But so far the results of the drug have been mild for the small amount of women it might actually work for (only those with low serotonin levels), and there are side effects that many might consider a deal-breaker. In the meantime, this new drug aimed at helping women’s sexual desire is definitely a historical landmark.
