The effect of cocaine on potency

Many articles have been written about the negative impact of drugs on health, and this topic has repeatedly become the subject of research by the best scientists in the world. However, the question of the effect of drugs, and in particular - cocaine, on the male genital area remains open today.

Why cocaine is dangerous

Any drugs, as a rule, are supplied to the end user illegally, from which it should be concluded that any quality control is out of the question. As a result, there is a high risk of addiction and adverse reactions. In addition, cocaine can cause sleep disturbances, which negatively affects potency. Cocaine is often used by men in order to get new sexual sensations, and indeed, many experience strong arousal and sexual desire. But, with regular use, the effect becomes the opposite, since drugs do not affect the nervous system, as a result of which a person can become depressed, irritable and depressed. That is, cocaine does not have a direct effect on erection, and impotence in drug addicts is associated, most often, with addiction of the body and disruption of the nervous system. Until a few centuries ago, cocaine was considered a powerful sexual stimulant, not a dangerous drug. In addition, the famous doctor and psychoanalyst - Sigmund Freud prescribed cocaine to his patients as a medicine against impotence. But, today, many men who use or have previously tried drugs unanimously confirm that initially sexual desire can be observed, thrills appear, vivid erotic fantasies arise, which are replaced by absolute indifference to sex after prolonged use. When cocaine enters the body, severe intoxication occurs, which provokes uncontrolled sexual arousal. Such situations often end with unprotected sexual intercourse, which is fraught with infection with AIDS, viral hepatitis, syphilis or other dangerous diseases transmitted during sex.

GOOD TO KNOW: Scientists have confirmed that one intake of cocaine is enough to disrupt blood circulation in the body, and, among other things, reduce blood flow to the pelvic organs.

The use of cocaine and other drugs can provoke hormonal imbalances, as a result of which the level of testosterone, the main hormone responsible for male libido, decreases in the blood. And those representatives of the stronger sex who are planning a replenishment in the future run the risk that their children will be born with gene mutations.
