S1 Biophharma recently announced the development of a male-only HSDD drug. The next edition of the DSM-5 makes HSDD a male only condition. A press release put out by the PR Newswire service announced the company’s intention to develop S1P-205. S1P-205 is the first drug to treat the psychological issues for men.
S1P-205 will be combined with Lorexys in most HSDD therapies, according to Nicolas G. Sitchoh, a spokesperson for S1 Biopharma. Researchers are hoping that this drug, combined with Lorexys, will increase the rates of treatment. Unlike Viagra, a drug which works for erectile dysfunction, S1P-205 is intended to provide a holistic approach when used with Lorexys.

Julio Neto, the founder of the Brazilian Asexual forum, searched for an Asexual website in Africa. He did not find one. He originally put out a call for Lusophones. The call was an attempt to revitalize the languishing forums. Although his attempts to revitalize the Portuguese sites continues, he is also attempting to encourage a dialogue about Asexuality in Africa.
Asexuality in Africa, a new blog, hopes to address the lack of Asexual websites. The blog, which started only a few days ago, only has one post. Users can also subscribe to a mailing list to keep up on Asexual groups and other issues in Africa.
