If you go back just a little more than one-hundred years, the law effectively made women the property of men. While young, they were under the control of their fathers. When married, they were controlled by their husbands. They were not allowed to own property, let alone do any of the things we would take for granted today. Their only function was as breeding stock. The right marriage would combine the assets of two families. Children would see the family assets pass on to the next generation. In this male-dominated world, all the laws and cultural expectations were pitched from the male point of view. Everything that happened was to be for the benefit of men. This included the somewhat difficult question of sexual satisfaction. There was little or no public discussion of sex in those days. Everyone was simply expected to do their duty and produce children. Failure in this respect was shameful to the individuals involved and potentially disastrous to wealthy families which might see their wealth pass into less direct bloodlines. It was customary to blame the women as infertile or frigid. No one talked about erectile dysfunction.

If we come forward, the erectile dysfunction issue has stepped out into the open with the arrival of drugs offering effective treatment. It's almost impossible for anyone to avoid seeing the ads on television and in the media generally. As was the case one-hundred years ago so, today, the pharmaceutical companies are looking after the interests of men. Yet the voices of women are more clearly heard and some have been saying their sexual experience is unsatisfying. This is often seen as an attack on men as selfish or incompetent. Many approach the sexual act with the sole intention of enjoying themselves. Women prefer to be one of a pair interested in both getting the maximum satisfaction.

Obviously, there's little can be done about male culture. If some men fail to consider their partner's need for satisfaction, no drug in the world can help. But there are some women who fail to achieve any real degree of satisfaction. As it stands, medical research is unclear why this is. Some suggest psychological reasons, others identify possible physical causes. Whatever the reason, Levitra is the strongest of the erectile dysfunction drugs, but it's of no use to women for sexual purposes. All it can do is improve the female blood circulation system by dilating arteries. Without a female equivalent of a penis to inflate, no drug working in the same way as Levitra can produce any improvement in sexual satisfaction. Indeed, feminists argue there's no medical problem to be solved by the pharmaceutical industry. They see attempts to develop a drug for women as the worst side of capitalism. First, you invent a medical problem. Then you invent the cure. So there we leave this age-old problem. If men are producing an erection hard enough to penetrate and this erection remains sufficiently strong until both parties agree to orgasm, this will no doubt be enjoyable sex. But if women are left unsatisfied by their partners efforts, men will have a choice. They could ignore their parters' complaints or they could actually attempt to make sex a two-person activity.
