If we see a 30% or so placebo effect in men with ED I see no reason why we wouldn't see the same in women. In fact if SD in women has a larger psychological component than ED in men then I would expect an even greater placebo effect.

<<I found it odd that the one lady who said it worked for her, wasn't given a placebo.>>

walx,

Not only is it odd, it is disturbing. This test proved absolutely nothing except to cloud the issue and mislead the public. Had they merely giving her a placebo they could have resolved the issue whether Viagara actually worked.
One has to wonder why they failed to complete the experiment. Does anyone care to guess?
