Drugs & Sex

How does cocaine affect your sex life?

People feel that sex on cocaine is more enjoyable because of heightened awareness, and greater sensory stimulation. Additionally, this drug frequently results in an increase in energy and self-assurance. When cocaine usage is combined with heightened sex drive, a person is more likely to engage in sexual behavior. Cocaine users claim that sex lasts longer and orgasms are more powerful when they use the drug.

These good feelings tend to fade as rapidly as the benefits, and cocaine use and sex are connected with a variety of detrimental repercussions. Cocaine causes impulsivity, and research has shown that when it comes to sexual activity, cocaine users are less likely to wear a condom than non-users, which means sex is risky. High doses of cocaine over time may cause a person to be unable to fulfill sexual desire, leading to risky sexual behavior, several partners in a short period of time, and hypersexuality. Cocaine has also been related to a higher rate of HIV replication in the bloodstream.
