Counteracting cocaine erection issues by inhibiting the action of adrenaline?
Hi folks.
This is my first real post outside the intro pages so be patient
Swim suffers, like so many others, with severe cokedick. A few lines and it requires viagra (or to be more precise the generic Indian version called Kamagra, as it's stronger and far cheaper) to achieve an erection. After a gram of toot and even the Kamagra stops working well and it requires hard concentration and no distractions to achieve an erection. But why? Why does Swim's undercarriage react in this way? Well after looking into it I have formulated a decent enough hypothesis.
Cocaine, we all know, stimulates the cardiovascular system. It gets the heart pounding. It does this by blocking nonadrenaline uptake in the nerve endings while simultaneously dumping nonadrenaline and adrenaline into the nervous system. Once adrenaline and nonadrenaline are released from the adrenal glands several things will occur...
Adrenaline and nonadrenaline are in charge of making some of the smaller blood vessels close up while it makes the blood vessels in the liver and the skeletal muscles wider. By making the less important blood vessels smaller, and opening up the more important blood vessels, a better blood flow is created. With this better blood flow towards the skeletal muscles and liver, the muscles and liver will be able to function to their highest ability do to the increase in oxygen that they are receiving. The nonadrenaline, like adrenaline, constricts blood vessels too but the difference between the two is that the nonadrenaline constricts almost all the blood vessels while the adrenaline only constricts the less important ones. This is commonly known as the flight or fight reflex.
The subsequent build of of adrenalin, nonadrenaline and the fact that nonadrenaline isn't being mopped up means that the flight or fight reflex of shutting down non essential systems becomes extreme and powerful. This leads to your feet feeling chilly and after a while your penis, starved of the blood supply, shrivels up and becomes far less sensitive and hey presto! Cokedick.
This my friends is the real reason behind cocaine driven erectile dysfunction. This is why after a while erectile function returns to normal as the body gets rid of the excess adrenalin and nonadrenaline.
With this as a basis has anyone got any theories as to how SWIM could counteract the effects of the adrenalin in the system. I have been looking into beta blockers as they inhibit the distribution of adrenalin but this is nowhere near being a valid hypothesis until it is clear what effects, if any, beta blockers would have on the ride.
