<p>Sharp and provocative, this powerful exposé of the birth of a new disease and the many millions of dollars spent on marketing it.</p> <p><strong>Sex Lies and Drugs - Ray Moynihan</strong></p> <p>Sharp and provocative, this powerful exposé of the birth of a new “disease”—and the millions of dollars spent marketing it—takes us into the corridors of medical power, from Paris to Melbourne to Manhattan, and allows us to witness the creation of “female sexual dysfunction” as a twenty-first century epidemic.</p> <p>The main characters in this corporate thriller are the giant global pharmaceutical companies, the doctors and psychologists who work with them, and the critics who try to untangle the tangle of medical science and marketing that believe the new sexual diseases are a misleading and dangerous distraction from the real problems in sexual relationships.</p> <p>With claims that nearly one in two women suffer from "female sexual dysfunction," some of the most profitable companies on the planet are poised to prey on women's deepest fears in the hopes of tapping into new billion-dollar markets.</p> <p>Set against the great cultural divides of our time – increasing sexual freedom versus seemingly increasing sexual anxiety – <em>Sex, lies and drugs</em> convincingly shows what really happens when the world is about to be introduced to 'pink' Viagra.</p> <p>Ray Moynihan shows how the drug industry not only sponsors scientific research, but in some cases helps create new medical conditions. His revelations are both fascinating and frightening.<br />— Prof. dr.
