paleness bremelanotide (sex drug)
Bremelanontide makes lab mammals have sex 7x times as often. People say it works on them. Make a two peptide version that makes the body pale, while the sex version crosses the blood brain barrier. The person becomes paler as they become sexier | |
Bremelanotide (also known as melan-o-tan) causes lab
mammals to have sex 7 times as often. The thing is, that
at humans it upregulates melanin production causing an
imitation suntan.
I think that attaching a polyglycine above 400 amu to
bremelanotide would keep it on the body side of the
blood
brain barrier, while fully occupying bodyside receptors.
It
would be a slightly modified version so as to be inactive
or
even possibly block endogenous tanning - making the
person paler.
Meanwhile the regular bremelanotide would reach the
brain, causing sexiness. The person becomes paler while
their sex drive goes up.

Well, in this year it only could have been one of a couple of people. |
|
|
And it's in an appropriate category. |

I knew there was a reason blondes have more fun... |
|
|
My question exactly [Ian Tindale]!!And also, 7 times more
often than what...rabbits? |
|
|
Maybe they have sex seven times as often because it makes them enjoy it less and they're wistfully trying to hit the spot. |

Don't let my wife see this page. |

Also, what's with the paleness? Who (apart from Michael Jackson, who I believe has left the stage) wants to be paler? |
|
|
I want to be paler - it's on my bucket list. |
|
|
Pandas are mostly white, but sex hasn't worked out well for them. |
|
|
Maybe try some of this chemistry magic on them? |
|
|
My brain has been too thoroughly infested by my daughter's constant Homestuck references to post anything remotely resembling a sensible reply about an idea that combines sex and paleness. |
|
|
Especially since @AusCan531 has now brought a bucket into the discussion. |

Essentially everybody, and there's big money in it <link>.
Many use glutathione, either topically, I.V. or by
swallowing the stuff. It looks pretty interesting, and all
over the place theoretically. Other compounds used
include vitamin c and hydroquinone. The proposed
mechanisms are all in the "we think they're acting as anti
oxidants" camp, which is on shaky ground. Mainly since if
applied topically, they'll oxidize in air. It looks like there's
some interesting redox chemistry going on with the 3
melanin subtypes that revolves around cycling
intermediates, which makes more sense. |

Also, as it turns out, melanin is synthesized from tyrosine.
A few rudimentary calculations show that induction of
rapid whole body melanin synthesis, combined with a
protein-poor diet easily depletes the circulating
concentrations of tyrosine/l-dopa. That might well reduce
the ability to synthesize dopamine, at least transiently,
supporting the idea of a sun-induced ADHD type thing. |

This is the best explanation so far for certain behavior
during a thankfully undocumented Spanish drinking
holiday that may or may not have happened in the
summer of 2001. |
