People are injecting a peptide called melanotan II to make their skin darker without having to tan. The history and safety risks behind the drug draws concern.

    So I can be tan and have prolonged erections with a possiblity of cancer in the future or I can be pale with a dick that won’t stay up for more than an hour or two. It’s like this article was written by an advertising company trying to sell grey market peptides.

        Nothing succeeds like excess! In real life I’ve drained enough priaptic penises to be scared of boner pills but there is a part of me (the more impulsive, less cautious part) that wants to throw caution to the wind and be able to hang a towel on it for a few hours.

          I thought “drained priaptic penises” was a brag that you’re really good at giving head at first. 🤣

          Gonna assume that’s not the kind of path the career counsellor at your school pointed you to?

      hmm well if you want to be pale and have a dick that gets hard whenever you want you can already get tadalafil for relatively cheap from one of those online pharmacies that also writes prescriptions. hims for example. no need to risk cancer or anything.

    The FDA notes the most severe adverse events include melanoma, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, sympathomimetic toxidrome, and prolonged and painful boners.

    Boners can be painful?

    Painful Boners is also the name of my punk band.

      If a boner lasts for too long it can actually cause oxygen deprivation and necrosis of the tissue. You dick dies and falls off. If you had a boner for hours and suddenly feel no pain, it’s too late, the nerves already died and the boner not only is not going away. Unless you get a surgery immediately, you can die from sepsis. So, yeah, boners can be painful.

      Emotionally painful, for sure. I can’t count the number of times I had to look down sadly and tell mine there wasn’t much we could do about that at the moment until the poor guy just gave up and stopped asking.
