Manufacturing Female Sexual Dysfunction

Viagra made billions for the pharmaceutical company that was first to get this product approved by the FDA and then on the market. Well that takes care of half the population. How do the pharmaceutical companies get their hands into the purses of women, they give us  Female Sexual Dysfunction (FDS). Is this a real medical condition or just a marketing strategy to create an illness putting our health and mental well being ahead of the all mighty dollar.
