US researchers have developed a new drug that will help restore a man’s libido.
The world’s first “lust drug”, PT-141, is a copy of a chemical called melanocyte-stimulating hormone that increases sex drive.
Viagra already deals with the physical effects of impotence, and if combined with PT-141 the effects of the drugs “would be extremely powerful”, say PT-141’s manufacturers.
The therapy is inhaled 30 minutes before sex, and tests have shown a 70 per cent success rate.
PT-141 has also been found to suppress the appetite, and could lead to new treatments for dieters.
