How does this new female sexual enhancing drug Flibanserin work?

Flibanserin was created as an anti-depressant, but trial testers quickly noticed it enhanced women's sexual desire.

Our biggest sex organ—the brain—plays an important role in regulating a woman’s sexual desire.

Your arousal response is your body’s natural mechanism for accessing pleasure. Although often confused with the genital swelling that accompanies being turned on, the source and ignition for becoming aroused lives in the sexiest organ of your body—your brain. More specifically in the limbic area of the brain, which is also responsible for generating our emotions and developing memory. Conveniently the limbic brain is co-located with our olfactory bulb, which explains why our sense of smell both heightens our emotional experience and connects us to our memories so powerfully.
