(Questions about the wisdom of age-disparate and long-distance relationships, for example, are evergreen.) But there are other topics that come up often as well, like incompatible sexual desire.

Yesterday marked the official 10th birthday of Viagra, the little blue boner maker, and U.S. News and World Report has a trio of articles about potential Viagras for women.
