Apparently there is a new trend spreading around the club scene in NYC amongst the young males looking to get laid. While they are waiting in line they slather the well known ass cream Preparation H all over their stomach and chest. The hope or desired effect is that the cream will make them looked more ripped thus upping their chances of duping a female club goer into banging them.

“If you want to get [lucky], you have to know how to dance, and if you want girls to dance with you, you have to look ripped.”

Sound logic, but why is ass cream necessary? Preparation H contains a drug called phenylephrine HCL which when applied shrinks blood vessels in the area which then reduces blood and fluid in said area. This shit isn’t going to turn a beer gut into a six pack but the broken logic is that it will make your chest and stomach more defined. The company that produces Preparation H does not condone these “off ass” applications and does not recommend them. Preparation H has long been used by bodybuilders looking to get rid of that last little bit of love handle right before a competition but I think this is the first time people have decided to slather their entire upper body in it.

Other than being a jackass covered in ass cream it doesn’t look like there are any major side effects. Doctors quoted in the story say that if you are allergic you could develop a rash or because the cream shrinks blood vessels it could result in increased blood pressure. Two things that I am sure horny young club goers are willing to roll the dice on.
