Friday Film: Orgasm Inc
Posted on 11. Feb, 2011 by Jonathan Cherry in Cherryflava TV
Surprise surprise – turns out drug companies have been ‘inventing’ medical disorders for years so that they can then sell you drugs that cure the ailment.
We wouldn’t be further surprised if those drug don’t cause more medical complications that can then only be ‘cured’ by more expensive drugs.
Orgasm Inc. The Strange Science of Female Pleasure
“Extraordinary behind-the-scenes access reveals a drug company’s fevered race to develop the first FDA-approved Viagra for women — and offers a humorous but sobering look inside the cash-fueled pharmaceutical industry.”– Hot Docs Film FestivalIn the shocking and hilarious documentary ORGASM INC., filmmaker Liz Canner takes a job editing erotic videos for a drug trial for a pharmaceutical company. Her employer is developing what they hope will be the first Viagra drug for women that wins FDA approval to treat a new disease: Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD). Liz gains permission to film the company for her own documentary. Initially, she plans to create a movie about science and pleasure but she soon begins to suspect that her employer, along with a cadre of other medical companies, might be trying to take advantage of women (and potentially endanger their health) in pursuit of billion dollar profits. ORGASM INC. is a powerful look inside the medical industry and the marketing campaigns that are literally and figuratively reshaping our everyday lives around health, illness, desire — and that ultimate moment: orgasm.
Upbeat, engaging, enlightening, and provocative, ORGASM INC. will change the way you think about sex.
Sexual disfunction? Don’t even get us started on the food industry. The maffia moved from Vegas into pharma.
Just remember – you can’t sell a revolution to people that are satisfied.

There is a television program called Penn & Teller: Bullshit!
They have an episode which tackles a similar issue, and I think that (and all their episodes) are very worth watching.

“bullshit” is a awesome series. You should really try and get it.
They uncover the real truth of a lot of things which society tells us is the truth.

Yes, that really is a big surprise.
“Female Sexual Dysfunction”? I didn´t even know that “disease” existed – and the women, who are suffering from it, probably didn´t now it either. Not until someone told them to spend their money curing it.
