If the title was too graphic I apologize. Basically over the last couple years I've noticed a few things that opiate use does to the penile section and libido itself.
Through usage of Heroin, Morphine, Hydrocodone, and mostly OxyContin ( besides almost completely depleting my sex drive) I've noticed a great deal of "numbness" in the sensation of my member. Now i could understand this while being on the drugs, since they are CNS depressants, but this effect carries with me days even weeks after usage. I will include that my past opiate use was pretty heavy at times, and it wasnt really a once in a while activity. More like i really didnt go longer than two weeks without a narcotic in my system.

My request is if anyone could give me a legit reason why this sort of thing would happen weeks after using a drug that doesnt cause any toxic damage to the brain. I know i could simply take Viagra and be all hunky doory, but at 19 years old it really wouldnt feel right and would cause a very sad self reflection.
I know the obvious answer would be "stop using the drugs wanker", and i will tell you that i have, it has just switched to beer since college is here, opiate connects are gone, and thats the "thing" to do. Which i think is even more pathetic.:D
 
Very Odd... my rebound effect from ceased opiate use has been the complete opposite. Erections that you could do chin-ups on but the inability to stay for more than a minute.... But I've been more or less clean for almost 3 months and I haven't had a chance to use my equipment thus far (the girl's still in rehab)... wish me luck.
 
Doesn't sound too pleasant. Everyone is different. may take you a while. If you are only 19 then your body should be able to recover one would think. Incidently, Viagra does nothing for libido. Try a good tribulus terrestris product like Twinlab and see if that helps. I found that stuff really sparks my libido into high gear. That and a quality Horney Goat Weed product (again I recommend Twinlab) should get the ball rolling.
 
i too have experienced the same unfortunate phenomenon that ketamike speaks of... been tapering with methadone the last few weeks to try to beat the monkey again; hopefully this will subside soon! :(
 
I havent done opiates in a while too, well I did take 50mg of Oxy about a couple of weeks ago but i've been pretty clean before that for 3 months and i have found when on opiates I don't give a fuck about sex, my penis shrinks considerably and I get real horny when comming off of a period of long term usage.
 
It is not psychological. Do yoga brother. You need to return to your body and feel its natural sensations.
 
^^^i agree, but initially they are gr8 for sex IMO. I cant relate to the sensation bit though, with me its just i never thought much about it. As Ketamike says the rebound effect whilst going thru wd is so the opposite, i think its to do with the neurotransmitter norapinepherine - similar to being on speed but without the nice feeling.
