| OK, forget the rock and roll. Here’s the truth about sex and drugs. Not all it’s made out to be… …the potential effect of a drug on sex is just one of many factors to consider before taking any substance. Knowledge is power, so get wise to the risks involved. |
| May produce a short-lived increase in libido, BUT… | |
| The penis may become less sensitive and ejaculation difficult to achieve. |
| Sometimes called 'ice', a powerful form of speed (amphetamine), which enhances the senses and can cause a euphoric high. Some people can go days without sleep. BUT… | |
| As well as risking paranoia and confusion, many crystal meth users may engage in high risk sexual activity, sometimes having unsafe sex with many partners, exposing themselves to STIs. |
| Poppers cause a ‘head rush’ and relaxant effect during sex, BUT… | |
| If used with Viagra they can be fatal. |
| Some people say they feel more sexually aware, BUT… | |
| Others may be totally turned off. Hallucinations may lead to a traumatic sexual experience. |
| Opiates act as pain killers and give users a detached effect. BUT… | |
| They can lead to long term problems such as lowered libido, impotence and difficulty attaining orgasm. |
| Some users report that they feel more aroused and close to their partner. BUT… | |
| It could lead to impotence, risky sexual behaviour such as not using contraception and/or having sex with someone who you normally wouldn’t. | |
| NEWSFLASH! – Reports of men combining ecstacy and Viagra (known as Sextacy) is becoming widely reported because Viagra helps to counteract impotence caused by Ecstacy. | |
There is increasing evidence that this can lead to heart disease. |
