Lets see:

The Pill:

1. Possible discoloration in vision. And if you don't get the discoloration, just what systemic effect is it causing? I mean, some posts have tried to indicate that only a few folks will get the "reactions", and all others are free and clear. So are we supposed to think that those few folks have some kind of "penile" tissue in their eyes, through a genetic aborration, and none of the rest of us will have ANY chemical reaction to that area? What will be the long term use.
2. Diarrhea: Oh, yes. Lets see. Nice candle light dinner, soft music,
nice wine, and some short duration lovemaking (hurry before it goes down), and then some nice poop in the sheets. Please, I can't wait.
3. A quickie reaction where the man gets "his" and the woman says
"whats in it for me?".

MUSE:
1. Application can be part of "foreplay". Quick reaction time. Long duration time. Man can keep on ticking after.......Which in the Newsweek article, I believe, was a BIG plus for the local.
2. Much less concern about "systemic effects" over a long term.

I'll take the MUSE, and I think it will be a shocker to the "experts", but I believe both men and women will prefer the local when they see the differences.

Funny thing is that about 6 months ago, I got bored following VVUS and this thread and removed it from my bookmarks. Out of curiosity, I just rebookmarked it and interestingly enough, the posts are almost exactly the same but the stock price is down by 50%.

I think I'll watch for a bit longer.

i believe both products will appeal. you might think of muse almost as a "sex toy" and not a medical product. if vvus could get over-the-counter approval for muse, their sales would be enourmous!
