HOW DOES HEROIN AFFECT SEXUALITY?
In smaller doses many users find that heroin stimulates libido, and increases sensuality and connection with a partner. Orgasm is generally more difficult to achieve, but this can prolong the sexual act and enjoyment. In larger doses orgasm may prove impossible, which can be frustrating, and some people find it embarrassing. In dependent users, high doses, out of control stress levels and a poor state of general physical health often contributes to suppress libido. This generally returns (with a vengeance) following withdrawal. Many users also find that sex helps relieve tension during withdrawal, while other users find physical touch abhorrent during this brief period.
