Cocaine has an ancient history and comes from the leaf of a native South American plant called coca. The extract of the coca leaf is processed to obtain cocaine, freebase and crack.
Physically cocaine will increase: your blood pressure and heart rate; your body temperature; your breathing rate; your pain resistance; your strength and finally it will decrease your appetite. In addition, if you smoke during cocaine consumption, your craving for cigarettes will increase due to the increased levels of dopamine in the brain.
Mentally cocaine will: reduce your need for sleep; make you feel full of energy; alert; confident; euphoric; sociable and talkative; and it will increase your libido. Cocaine can give you a feeling of invincibility but can also make you feel anxious and agitated, along with inducing panic and paranoia.
Because cocaine increases your arousal level along with making you feel energetic and strong, it will directly affect the way you evaluate and decide upon the level of risk you are willing to take sexually. Cocaine can make you selfish and sexually aggressive, which means rougher sex.
Keeping in mind the pain killer effect of cocaine, sex sessions can go for longer and the risk of breaking the skin or anal lining along with bleeding are increased, and therefore ifcondoms and water based lubes are not used the potential for transmitting HIV and other STI's is increased. In long fuck sessions, check the condom regularly, continuously add lube and change it every half an hour or with every new partner. There is a possibility of passing on or picking up hepatitis C by sharing any instrument used to snort cocaine, due to the presence of tiny amounts of contaminated blood not visible to the naked eye.
The legal consequences for using, possessing, making and selling cocaine can include fines and imprisonment. Furthermore, it is illegal to drive whilst under the influence of cocaine and this could lead to a disqualification of your licence.
