Confused about the difference between PT-141 and Melanotan II

Posted by fasted_scientist in Beginner Questions - 3 points, 0 comments.

I am just getting started and looking at some of the sexual health stuff, but the info is a bit all over the place. I have seen people talking about PT-141 and Melanotan II, and ngl it is quite confusing because they seem to do the same thing.

From what I can tell, PT-141 is more of a targeted thing for desire, while Melanotan II also does the tanning bit. I reckon the tanning is a nice bonus, but I am not sure if the broader activity of MT-II makes it better or just more prone to side effects. I have read that nausea is common for both, which is a bit of a worry.

For those who have tried both, did one seem to work better for you? I am trying to figure out if it is worth starting with a specific one or if the tanning effect of MT-II actually interferes with the arousal side of things. I would love to see if there is any actual data on this or if it is all just people guessing on forums.
