Cocaine is a stimulant. At first it produces pleasure. It enhances feelings of well-being while decreasing anxiety and social and sexual inhibitions. In small doses cocaine increases sexual arousal and makes orgasms and erections easier. In large doses cocaine intensifies aggressive sexual fantasies but decreases sexual performance.
Some people feel increased sexual desire but are less able to achieve erection and orgasm.
These pleasurable feelings motivate the user to repeat the high. Larger and larger doses of cocaine are needed to produce the feelings of the first few doses. Cocaine intoxication occurs when a person smokes, snorts, or injects too much cocaine. Cocaine users often binge. They take the drug continually over several hours, or even a week.
