FDA Approves First Female Sex Aid
On May 3, The Food and Drug Administration approved a device designed to help women reach sexual fulfillment. This is the first time that the federal government has licensed an aid for female sexual dysfunction.
The Eros device is a small, hand-held product consisting of a small cup that is placed over the clitoris; a tube attaches it to a tiny vacuum. Within minutes, the vacuum draws blood to the area, swelling the clitoris and promoting sexual arousal. Available only by prescription, the Eros costs $359.00 and is manufactured by UroMetrics Inc. of St. Paul, Minn.
As for whether or not the Eros will be covered by insurance: Since similar devices for men are covered, it seems likely that insurance companies will also pick up the tab for the Eros.
