writing prescriptions,

seeing a certain volume

of people per unit time.

I think doctors

want a pill too.

Doctors want to be able

to write a prescription

for something that is going

to help a woman

feel better about

her sex life.

It's the easiest part

of what we do

and is kind of what patients

have come to expect.

Deep into the race the key players

are quickening their stride.

But wait!

From out of nowhere,

over on the sidelines,

comes what could be

a real game changer.

Sex surgey.

Ow!

Some of the new inventions

to treat FSD

were starting to hit

the marketplace.

At a trade show

for doctors,

medical companies were

marketing new extreme treatments.

It's a bloodless surgey.

I'm here to speak to physicians

that are interested

in incorporating a new procedure

into their practice.

It's a procedure that

gives women additional choices

for regaining sexual gratification

that they maybe have lost

as they've aged

or had children.

You use the laser

to make an incision,

you're able to push

the bladder back up

to where normally

in a young person it would be

and then bring the muscles

back together making it tighter.

Do you think

there's a chance

that some of the nerves

of the clitoris could get cut?

Well with any surgey

there are going to be risks.

We also train them to do

something that's called

Designer Laser

Vaginoplasty.

A lot of women feel

like they're unhappy

that their labia

are abnormally long.

And it really is in

a sense plastic surgey.

What is an abnormally

long labia?

I think that's up to the women

to decide, and, so again,

this is all about giving

women choices.

You're feeling uncomfortable

about this?

I am, I'm hating

this part of it.

You are?

Yes.

Why?

Hmmm.

See now I might have to ask

for the tape back.

Yeah, you don't want

to talk about this?

No, just because this part of it,

I am ambivalent about.

The plastic surgey part?

Mhmm.

I think that our culture has

made women feel vey self conscious,

and uncomfortable

with who they really are

and so there's

always this attitude

of feeling like they

need to be perfect

and really I think people should

be happy with who they are.

These magazines

have published articles

promoting cosmetic

genital surgey.

One of the things that really

motivates gynecologists

to start offering

these procedures

is they went into gynecology

to deliver babies,

to help women,

all of those good things,

but after a while they find that

they're tired of being on call,

tired of running out and delivering babies

in the middle of the night.

And it just gives the surgeon

or gynecologist

a better quality of life

for himself or herself.

I asked Lisa to show me

before and after photos of women

who had undergone

the surgey.

I would be more comfortable

if you wouldn't film the pictures.

So this is actually the presentation

as part of the training course.

See you asked for it.

Oh.

Okay.

I think I'm going

to be faint.

They want to look

like little girls.

This is all making them

look just like little girls.

I hadn't thought of it in

those terms, but you're right.

That's really disturbing.

So, yes, at least give me

enough time

to find a new job

before you air this.

You're going to go

job hunting now?

I am.

I'm going to go home

and go job hunting

so I don't have to feel

conflicted any more.

I don't blame you.

Yeah.

The procedures that I had done

were a labial reduction and a...

...I don't know how

to phrase it,

I, I, guess it would be

a clitoral hood reduction as well.

I did think that this would help me

achieve orgasm with sex

and my gynecologist did have

hopes that it would help.

The surgey itself

went well.

When I got home I actually got

a mirror to look at the surgical site

and there was a huge gush

and a huge splurt of, of blood.

And then at that point I knew

a suture had popped.

By the time I got to

the emergency room

it was dripping down my leg

onto the emergency room floor.

They had to do

emergency surgey.

The tissue in the genital area

is vey vascular.

If it does bleed,

it's gonna bleed a lot and fast.

My doctor said that I lost

about a third of my blood volume.

And had I not sought

emergency treatment

as quickly as I did it could

have gotten a lot worse.

And, yes, there was

the possibility of me dying.

I was hoping that after this procedure

I would be able to achieve orgasm

with just intercourse

but that did not happen.

Due to intense marketing,

eight cosmetic genital surgey clinics

opened up in

New York City.

More research,

less marketing.

Say no to designer vaginas.

No two alike,

all are beautiful.

Teenagers are

having this done.

And there's the sense

that the labia minora

needs to be sort of

symmetric and tidy.

Labia minora are a vey important

part of erotic genital tissue.

Eveybody's different.

Some people have

vey small labia,

some people have

asymmetric labias,

some women have

vey long labia.

It's all normal.

Any kind of cosmetic surgey

to the external genitalia

is a form of

genital mutilation.

I can't think of any

rational reason for it.

One of the main

reasons not to do it

is that women can end up

with chronic pain syndromes.

And it, we shouldn't be allowing it

and we are in fact allowing it.

It's eight years into the race

and it shows.

Uh-oh.

Vivus can't get Alista work

any better than a placebo.

So that cream

is out of the race.

With Alista and Viagra

dropping out of the race,

it was becoming clear

that the drugs

that have been made

to give men erections,

were not working

On WOMen.

It seems that it takes more

than increased vaginal blood flow

to give women orgasms.

Hi, Craig.

This is Liz Canner calling.

I'm calling just to

check in with you

about the filming

that we discussed.

Still tying to reach you

because I wanted

to check in with you

about filming.

Still tying to reach you.

Perhaps because

they were failing,

Vivus did not want to be interviewed

anymore about Alista.

The creams, pills, and vaginal

surgeries, and the Orgasmatron

were not providing

the quick fix

that the industy

had been hoping for.

Maybe, this is because

most of women's sexual problems

are not purely

physiological.

I was working full time

and taking care of the kids

and taking care of the house,

taking care of eveything.

I was physically tired,

I was mentally tired,

and I was

emotionally tired.

The last thing that I wanted

at night or any time

was for someone

to touch me

in a sexual manner

because it was just,

I felt like all day long I had

been pulled at and touched

and I had little hands

On Me.

You know, taking care of kids all day

and then still tying to work.

Sex was just

not important.
