Femprox and Libigel are competing to become the first drugs on the market for Female Sexual Arousal Disorders. Like Biosante's Libigel, the drug is targeted mostly at post menopausal women who normally experience a decrease of libido after the change of life.
The Food and Drug Administration did not give flibanserin approval for its attempt to market a female viagra earlier this year. Libigel and Femprox attempt to correct the declining libido that occurs with age. Neither product seems to target the Asexual community. Hypocative Sexual Desire Disorder in men will remain, although Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in women will be renamed Sexual Arousal/Disinterest Disorder in women, according to dsm5.org.

Volkmar Sigusch, the father of the Sexual Revolution, said he has the utmost respect for Asexuals. Sigusch's philosophies influenced the development of the sexual revolution, but the scientist said he does not feel that he has much in common with the youth ideals of the era. He released his new book, Searching for Sexual Freedom this month.
“Incidentally, I have the utmost respect for people who are asexual. I didn't believe that they existed at first. But they do exist and their numbers are growing,” said Sigusch, in an interview with the German magazine Spiegel.
