'20/20': Search for female Viagra

ABC News’ "20/20" tonight takes a look at how drug companies are racing to develop a female version of Viagra.

I reported on this topic in October 2002 when one of the drugs for "female sexual arousal disorder" was being tested in Spokane. I interviewed the lead researcher, who, speaking about women with sexual troubles, acknowledged: "Maybe they don't need a new drug. They need a new Steve."

New York author and therapist Leonore Tiefer, who was interviewed for tonight's "20/20," also thinks a purely medical approach to female sexuality misses a big part of the problem. See her web site.
