Chemgasm describes the flushing like this:
At 20 minutes post-dose, it peaked. Face had flushed scarlet red, my chest was somewhat red too, little pricks of red (allergy-like) appeared on my arms and chest and face. I experienced that hot-from-the-inside feeling one gets the night after being in the sun all day. Over the next ten-twenty minutes, the flush subsided.
All this might not sound so bad compared to, say, Viagra's "priapism, severe hypotension, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death, stroke and increased intraocular pressure".
But remember that it's early days yet, and more side-effects are going to be coming out of the woodwork pretty soon.

Some of the side effects I read about include "severe nausea". This made me wonder if bremelanotide has some effect on dopamine receptors. Some D receptors are involved in erection, some are involved in nausea.
Also, the comparison with Viagra is not fair because drug companies are required by the FDA to include every side effect that showed up in clnical trials. Talk with any of the millions of men who have used Viagra, and they probably have the same experiences: some flushing, some nasal congestion, rare headaches.
To me, the big question with bremelanotide is not efficacy, but tolerability.
I love post-nasal drip. Might as well include halitosis and sore throat then.
