It is possible that something as simple as caffeine be the answer to women’s prayers for female version of Viagra.
Following the study conducted by Fay Guarraci, an assistance professor of psychology at south-western university, and Stacey Benson, a 2005 graduate, caffeine could be a female Viagra.
It is possible that something as simple as caffeine be the answer to women’s prayers for female version of Viagra.

The research entitled ‘coffee, tea and me: moderate doses of caffeine effect on sexual behaviour in female rats,’ is the first of its kind and examines the connection between caffeine and sex in females.
108 female rats ere given a moderate dose of caffeine before a mating test to determine if the caffeine had any effect on female mating behaviour. The findings published in a forthcoming issue of pharmacology, biochemistry and behaviour discovered that provision of caffeine shortened the time it took the females to return to the males after receiving an ejaculation. It suggested that the females were more motivated to be with the male rats. Although it is tempting to speculate that caffeine exposure could also effect sexual motivation in humans, Guarraci cautioned that may not be the case, as most humans consume moderate doses of caffeine every day.
“These rats had never had caffeine before,” she claimed. “In humans, it might enhance the sexual experience only among people who are not habitual users.” Guarraci said, however, that the research should add to our understanding of the relationship between the brain and behaviour.
“Understanding the circuits that control this behaviour will help us understand how the brain works and what part of the brain mediates motivation because sexual behaviour is a motivate behaviour,” she said.
