A clinical trial involving 20 men with erectile dysfunction found that the synthetic peptide Melanotan II, a melanocortin receptor agonist, significantly induced penile erections and increased sexual desire compared to a placebo. While the peptide demonstrated efficacy in initiating erections even without sexual stimulation, treatment was associated with a high frequency of side effects, specifically nausea and yawning.
