A word on aphrodisiacs, including Bremelanotide, the "only known synthetic aphrodisiac." A word from its makers (and from its guinea pigs), and a word of warning (see point 15).

  • In tests of sexual stimulation by smell alone, a combination of doughnuts and liquorice increased blood flow to the penis by an average of 32%. *insert cop joke here* Very Interesting Post - but scary stuff, that 15.
  • I think they'll have to change the name before it hits the market. And yes, the prospects are scary. Do people still have Viagra parties?
  • This is impossible to stop. Societies will just have to cope.
  • Oh, fucking hell.
  • Easy to synthesize, modest dosages, etc etc... *imagines a crack superball* Yikes. I'm reminded of a transatlantic flight to Malaysia, spent sitting next to a lovely scientist who worked for one of Pfizer's obscure research departments. The stories she told in regards to the search for the next "sex" drug... they still make me shudder! *rinses mouth*
  • The company reports some bugs in the product as yet:
    In certain cases, adverse effects included nausea, vomiting, flushing, increased blood pressure, headache, spontaneous erection and nasal symptoms. The companies also said there were two serious adverse effects including an esophageal tear related to vomiting, and an incident of prolonged erection.
    Some party.
  • Adverse effects? Sounds like puberty to me.
  • Speaking of which, mashing up this FPP and petebest's "dirty dancing in the middle school talent show" FPP is pretty freaking frightening.
  • “may be administered to increase the libido of female animals in captivity” Well, if you’ve already got a female in captivity....
  • Excellent point, Smedleyman. Thomas Jefferson didn't need no stinkin' Bremelanotide when he wanted to get a little brown sugar. What has happened to traditional American values?
  • MonkeyFilter: This is impossible to stop. Societies will just have to cope. You MEN!! Can't you just geddoveryourselves?
  • Don't hate us 'cause we're beautiful, GramMa! *poses, pouts*
