Add to FavoritesShould pharmaceutical companies develop a "stay-faithful" pill to reduce sexual desires?
If pharmaceutical companies developed such a pill, the concept may be of benefit in certain circumstances. Though you must admit, those who did believe they needed to use this medication could possibly possess a rather unhealthy sexual appetite. Oh, the dilemmas in the world today are concerning sex and lust in humans. We all have one, a sexual appetite that is. But do we always use them in the morally correct fashion.
Such a concept really doesn't allow people to develop their innate moral skills in the real world today. Calling a pill the "Stay Faithful Pill does not seem to be the correct name for this product. The pill should have a name that can be associated to all people with difficulties in the sexual areas which cause issues for certain people.
The Medical industry should have an understanding of what purposes this type of pharmaceutical product would be most beneficial for. The actual act of refraining from committing an act of unfaithfulness should be an act, which is governed by the person's moral attitude. I do not believe the every day person with any beneficial results would use such a pill.
The world today is so full of problems with rape and paedophilia. Yes, for such a particular situation, perhaps the world could benefit from such a medication. The horrors in society today could only be improved if people in jail for these types of crimes were curbed especially on release. In these cases, the benefits would be amazing if they were forced to take such a pill.
For others I am not so sure. If it were available to the public, it would obviously become a personal choice. Suppressing a normal healthy sexual desire could to me be abnormal and possibly cause other side effects such as depression or anger. In the cases. It may solve the problems in the world today with abuse of a sexual nature.
Normal sexual desires within humans would need to be analysed thoroughly before any such decisions to produce such a pill were taken on. Those that have high sexual desires are generally those who do not express energies correctly. The situation and the psychology of the person would need to be monitored.
Perhaps through a medical prescription it may work. Evaluating circumstances of a person would to me be the most critical requirement. Availability to the public should definitely not be overlooked, though medical supervision should be involved

A "stay faithful pill", hmm, OK so if i take this pill supposedly I will not find another sexually attractive? Oh good because sex hides the real person inside. With out the worry of sexual attraction I can judge a person by the way they treat me as a person. If I take this stay faithful pill I can leave home and leave the possessive person that controls my every move behind too, and maybe find someone that is nice to me for me not my body.
No matter how much positive you put in this debate, it seems to me that we have grown way to dependent on pills to cure our own misdeeds. Why did we want to "grow up"?
I grew up so I could make choices of my own, pay consequences that were suppose to be more fair than the month long restrictions my father and mother used as child torture.
Seems to me that if you feel your significant other requires a "stay faithful pill" you might want to reevaluate the relationship and look for a doctor that will prescribe you some antidepressants and anti anxiety pills, maybe your own actions are sending your significant other looking elsewhere.

So now i am taking this stay faithful pill, i have found a "better man" because of not being blinded by sex, eventually that pill will go to the way side for what ever reason and once again sex becomes an image in judging someone. A temporary fix that may help someone with dysfunctional sexual issues, but this pill would be misused and mishandled in socialized America today.
Now I want to point out maybe we would not even need to consider this little pill if another little pill had not been released into the world. Seems erectile dysfunction drugs are on the opposite pole of this stay faithful pill. Erectile dysfunction drugs may lead to the need for stay faithful drugs. When the kidneys and liver begin having issues with metabolizing these drugs we can put a person on drugs to help them function right again.
Who wins here other than the pharmaceutical company, you still can not trust your significant other as to whether they took the pill and if it is working, so another "can" of distrust is added to the relationship, another reason to doubt and assume. Add the depression the body goes through when it is manipulated with drugs and the burden get larger, throw in the cost of medications to keep up with this scenario and the doctor visits to get those medications, and you just wrote the prescription for divorce.
So I do not believe we should even consider this pill, but since the thought is out there maybe we better prepare for it to hit the market instead,
