What are the short and long-term effects of having several hours of sex using cocaine as the libido enhancer? My partner and I are both clear of STIs.

Using cocaine as a libido enhancer is not necessarily a good idea as there are many effects and risks associated with taking the drug. If you frequently use cocaine during sex you may develop a dependence on it.

Although you mentioned that your partner does not have a sexually transmitted infection (STI), cocaine and sex both leave you susceptible to other diseases such as Hepatitis C. So, although you and your partner have no problems now, you are increasing your chances of health problems later on. The best thing to do is avoid adding another risk, like drug use, into the mix.

If you would like further information about cocaine call Frank on 0800 77 66 00 for free and confidential advice and information about drugs. You can also get free and confidential advice about any aspect of your sexual health from your local Brook Centre or a local Family Planning Clinic.
