Sildenafil (Viagra) and its me-toos (tadalafil and vardenafil) operates by inhibiting a specific phosphodiesterase and increasing blood flow to the genitals (and coincidentally, the lungs). It doesn't do anything to increase libido. It should increase blood flow in both males and females, and to the extent that a particular woman's dysfunction is related to pelvic blood flow it could help. Otherwise, probably not.
Incidentally, sildenafil is also used to treat arterial pulmonary hypertension.
As LuvitAll notes above, there are other drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction that do produce erections in the absence of sexual arousal. One that I know of is prostaglandin E1, which has to be injected into the corpora cavernosum. It doesn't sound like tremendous fun to me, but I guess if I had a guy who needed it I'd find a way to deal.
It's important to note that there aren't many clinical trials of these drugs for recreational use. What studies there are usually show large placebo effects. In other words, if a clinically normal person believes it will work it likely will work.

Yep BELIEF is the important thing. The human mind can produce all manner of physical effects IF the given individual BELIEVES it to be possible. That is why it's also possible to get the same effects in many cases with hypnosis, as well as raising or lowering blood pressure increasing or reducing blood flow to a given area of the body and anesthesia to include painless child birth.

If I ever end up as the principal actor in a Labor and Delivery suite, I'm going with an epidural, thanks-very-much. Hypnosis maybe works and maybe doesn't. An epidural works with minimal risk.
