Impotence - Caused by Ecstasy

Ecstasy is a synthetic, psychoactive drug possessing stimulant with hallucinogenic properties. Ecstasy contains chemical variations of the stimulant amphetamine or methamphetamine and a hallucinogen, most often mescaline. Like any illegal drug, Ecstasy carries with it many dangers and can have a negative impact on sexual performance, such as a reduction in morning erections and a loss in erection firmness.

Ecstasy destroys serotonin-producing neurons in the brain that play a direct role in regulating sexual activity, aggression, mood, sleep and sensitivity to pain. Despite the claims of ecstasy being a sexual enhancer, many men complain of decreased sexual function during or after ecstasy use.

Ecstasy Dangers Explained

Ecstasy elevates the level or serotonin found in the body. Serotonin, a chemical used in controlling mood and ejaculations, becomes elevated for extended periods, the body becomes over stimulated. The over stimulation damages the parasympathetic nerves in the body responsible for stimulating nitric oxide production that controls erectile capacity. When the parasympathetic nerve becomes damaged, it can no longer stimulate nitric oxide production necessary to power an erection.

Because Ecstasy elevates serotonin levels, the drug creates a similar effect to certain SSRI, antidepressant drugs: it elevates the serotonin so much for extended periods males can no longer gain an erection or stymie an ejaculation. Ecstasy also causes individuals to experience confusion, depression, sleep problems, drug craving, severe anxiety, paranoia, muscle tension, involuntary teeth clenching, nausea, blurred vision, rapid eye movement, faintness, chills and sweating.

Increases in heart rate and blood pressure are a special risk for people with circulatory or heart disease. Recent research findings link Ecstasy use to long-term damage to those parts of the brain critical to thought and memory.
