Maybe Muse is the remedy for premature ejaculation, that the man ejaculate does not mean that he has to stop the ongoing intercourse, if he can sustain the erection then he could satisfy the partner, even if he already ejaculated. Muse can keep the erection longer than usual and maybe help. Who knows the guy can even get couple of more ejaculation while the erection last (and even things out with the female partner).

But, is there a demand for premature ejaculation? do patients go to the doctor in enough numbers? Do doctors know how to handle it? even as a side effect of drugs it is miss a lot, few ask the patient, the patient does not tell. Don't ask, Don't tell.

If Muse is the answer who will take the time to 1st get the history and 2nd teach the patient? Even for the clearly easy Muse for ED there is a big gap on patient education ( do not forget the big gap of Non-urologist practitioners, many do not even know the drug exist).

The study should not be that expensive, the marketing will be. Vivus can fund the study on its own and let big pharma do the marketing (and pharma take their due 80% chunk of the profits, 60% if Leland has the upper hand).

Vlad, good idea. You got my shares.

Vlad....what makes you think CS First Boston is limited in exploring other options to increase shareholder value beside MUSE at this time???

Future distribution rights to Alibra, joint venture on Gene Therapy,
royalties /licence fees for Vivus patern, are but a few of the options.
