Methamphetamine and sex
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Methamphetamine (commonly known as "crystal meth," "crystal," or just "meth") is a strong stimulant often used recreationally as a party drug.
Among the effects reported by methamphetamine users is an increase in the need and urgency for sex, the ability to have sex for extended periods, and an inability to ejaculate or reach orgasm or physical release.
In addition to increasing the desire for sex and enabling the user to engage in marathon sex sessions, methamphetamine lowers inhibitions and may cause users to behave recklessly. According to a recent San Diego study, methamphetamine users often engage in unsafe sexual activities, and forget or choose not to use condoms. The study found that methamphetamine users were six times less likely to use condoms.[1]
The urgency for sex combined with the inability to achieve release can result in tearing, chafing and trauma (such as rawness and friction sores) to the sex organs and the rectum and mouth, dramatically increasing the risk of transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Methamphetamine also causes erectile dysfunction (sometimes called "crystal cock") due to its vasoconstrictive properties.
