I'm keeping it rather blunt; I'm a speedfreak trying to retire the madness and quit the shit. I already saw a doctor who's got me scheduled for some bloodwork to check my organs out, but I've got one problem that perhaps bothers me most. Hard-on maintenance has become a problem. Even after periods off the drug. Admittedly, all have been somewhat short periods. I still think the problem is tied to the drug habit, and I'm getting it all checked professionally. But I wonder, in the meantime, if any other people here encountered erection problems due to meth/amphetamines, and how they dealt with it. It's not a fun problem for a guy that's twenty. Speak away!
 
Hi! I'm a girl, but I can speak from experience with friends that have shared - both guys and girlfriends who have complained about their boyfriends - it happens to every single guy I know and have discussed it with. Don't worry. Most of them say it goes away after the effect wears off and you get enough sleep. A "speed dick" has by now became a phrase around here, a synonimous with impotence to the point of where girls don't allow the bf to do speed if they hope for sexy time later. And have in mind, my circle of friends mostly uses it irregularly - a whole night, a week off, then two days in a row, then a month off...Sometimes we use it everyday for some time, then go months without it. My point is that if it was cigarettes, you'd call us social users. If you've had addiction problems, the "speed dick" effect could be prolonged. Don't worry. Rest. It will go away.

I sometimes can't get it up as well when I'm on amphetamine. That's why the french invented the blowjob. You don't have to be hard to enjoy it my friend.
 
When I first started my love affair with dexedrine I could have sex forever and stay hard and just keep going and going like the energizer bunny. This lasted for awhile, but there was a period where I got back with my ex girlfriend and while at first I was able to keep it up, after a while the dexedrine did nothing but make me horny and soft. Dreadful combination. Keep in mind I was also drinking tons and was going through some emotional issues with my ex.

Part of the problem is that sex require real energy, you need to eat and sleep and even then if you're using lots of amphetamine chances are you're going to get "speed dick". I remember when I would stay up for days not eating and barely ever sleeping and when my gf would come over obviously I wouldn't be able to perfom. I mean I was malnourished, sleep deprived, drunk and high on dexedrine.

This was part of the reason I stopped using dexies regularly.

Anyway, I think you'll be fine, I was fine after I stopped for a week and got some sleep and food. So don't worry, I know I worried myself sick at first thinking my dick had just stopped working for some reason, but don't fret chances are you're fine.

Of course being the addict I am I got hooked on opiates not too long after this which solves the problem in another way, I could care less about sex when I was strung out on opiates! But that's another story...
 
I totally had this erection problem while on amps, it is due to how amp affects the blood flow, it causes peripheral vasoconstriction in some people which means all your appendages get a reduction in blood flow and hence you can't maintain it. Viagra was AMAZINGLY helpful for this. Putting it bluntly now my thing is like a stiff board, the only trouble I have now is actually having an orgasm and getting it to go back down.

Now as far as this occurring after the amps in your timeline, I don't have experience with that other that back in the day when I was once a wretched rodent-like crackhead traveling in the dark from shady motel to motel and smoking boulders and masturbating for hours when I eventually got clean and quit I thought my thing would never rise again. I thought sex and masturbation on crack would never be equaled by regular sex without it. It took me like 6 months before my drive came back but it did come back to normal and everything was fine.
 
I just started using speed yesterday and my boyfriend and a friend and I were getting a little handsy he had smoked more than me and was able to get and stay hard but I couldn't anyone know when what have caused that?
 
Personally, I've never had a problem getting an erection after the dope has worn off.
Theoretically (and I'm totally ignorant on this kind of thing) it could have something to do with your dopamine being shot which I'm sure we're all aware is what makes speed feel good in the first place and has a lot to do with sex being pleasurable.

Who knows though?
I've known speed (I'm talking mostly about meth on teh street) to cause so many bizarre and unexplainable side-effects both during and after use.
I mean the possibilities are endless.
I'd say be patient, give your body some time to recover and go from there.
I'm 21 and this shit makes my sex drive go completely out of whack at the strangest times. It's never been anything permanent though.
 
This is so old as not to be worth answering I'm sure the OP has this sported by now, the issue is this :-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasoconstriction

The rest is fairly obvious, although anxiety about it could become a factor even after stopping taking stims as this is well known to cause the same symptoms
 
^atm23 covered it, and as he said, this thread is quite old and the OP likely not around.

Closing; PM me with any queries.
