Study to Investigate Effect of Sildenafil on Clitoral Engorgement as Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Pre-menopausal Women With Female Sexual Arousal Disorder

A Double Blind, Placebo Controlled 2-way Cross-over Study to Assess the Clitoral Engorgement Response as Measured by Non-contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Women With Female Sexual Arousal Disorder (FSAD) When Administered a Single Dose of Sildenafil (100mg) Followed by Audio/Visual Sexual Stimulation

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 100 mg sildenafil on clitoral engorgement in pre-menopausal women, as well as examining the safety and toleration of the drug.
