The relationship between recreational drugs and ED is a complicated oneĮxactly how drugs affect the penis, and their role in ED (erectile dysfunction), has not been widely researched (what with the obvious issue of it being legally problematic to test recreational drugs on humans, however willing subjects might be). Jokey phrases, though, might make light of what can become persistent and emotionally troubling erectile problems from the misuse of drugs or alcohol. Terms like ‘pilly willy’ (the apparent shrinking of the penis on MDMA) and ‘whiskey dick’ (a flaccid, unresponsive member after a heavy night of drinking) are widely used. There’s one simple explanation for it - some drugs can make you feel more sociable, more touchy-feely, happier and, well, up for ‘it’.īut aside from the well-known effects, both pleasant and unpleasant, one of the frustrating side-effects about some of those drugs in the short-term is how they can seemingly increase your desire to have sex while removing your ability to do so. The intentional, consensual act of having sex whilst under the influence of drugs such as MDMA, cocaine, cannabis and GHB is on the rise, particularly in the UK. The (not so) hard science behind the ‘pilly willy’ and ‘whiskey dick’: some substances increase your desire to have sex, while removing your ability to do so.
