Why is women’s sexual health so understudied?

[madman]

When it comes to medical research and innovation, men's health has long gotten more attention than women's health. Even with improvements over the last 30 years, women's sexual health remains vastly underrepresented. Dr. Rachel Rubin, urologist and sexual health expert, and Rachel Gross, science journalist and author of "Vagina Obscura," join Ali Rogin to discuss.

*the head of the clitoris is the part you can see and touch and its really just the tip of the iceberg so underneath there are two bulbs and two arms that kind of flair out to the pelvis and the bulbs hug the vagina and the urethra and they're all made of erectile tissue and basically 90% of this organ is beneath the surface

Actually it is the men's sexual health that is understudied. Men have only viagra for erection, and nothing that improves penis sensitivity, orgasm, or libido for sure.

Women can take viagra for blood engorgement, low doses testosterone for libido (it works for them, not for men) and maybe better orgasm, and the failed drug for libido flibanserin - failed due to minor effect and inflated price.
