TAN AS FUCK
A momentous new era in tanning technology is upon us: behold, Melanotan-I, a synthetic version of the hormone that stimulates production of melanin, the pigment that makes you tan as fuck. It's passed safety tests with flying colors, reducing the amount of sun you need to get a good tan by 50% and reducing sunburnt cells by nearly 50% as well, as melanin helps protect your skin from UV damage. It even makes your tan last longer! I have been jonesin for a nice tan every summer for the past few summers and have never gotten around to it - maybe this is this answer!
UPDATE: Shit! I didn't know how appropriate my TAN AS FUCK reference was! Check out the dirt on Melanotan-II:
Melanotan II was being tested as a safe way to get a protective suntan, explains Dr. Norman Levine, a dermatology researcher. "Our goal was to try and induce a tan without exposing them to potentially harmful rays of the sun or tanning booth."
As expected, Melanotan darkened skin pigment, but researchers soon learned that's not all it could do.
"It so happens that one very astute observer who took this drug reported to us that he was developing spontaneous erections," Levine recalls, and with that, the dermatologists brought on the urologists and charted a new course for developing Melanotan II...
Researchers believe Melanotan II works directly on the brain, where it affects sexual desire as well as physical performance. Viagra, by comparison, appears to have no direct effect on libido. According to Wessells, "with Viagra the man has to initiate sexual activity or Viagra won't work. With this it sort of comes on its own." If further testing confirms the drug to be safe and effective, doctors say it might be useful for treating both psychological and physiological impotence.
