    Does anyone know why there is a connection between ED and sex on MDMA?
    What is the science behind this? If it has to do with heightened seratonin levels than sex sober would cause ED.
    Idk. Discuss and such :] i wanna know.

    Easy one. I bet if you think about it yourself you will get it. You said science question, so here is a science answer:

    "In addition, MDMA induces the release of norepinephrine and dopamine. "Source This happens with most stimulants. Most stimulants also release epinephrine.
    "Ecstasy users showed elevated resting sympathetic activity, reflected in increased norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine levels." Source

    [Epinephrine] "When in the bloodstream, it rapidly prepares the body for action in emergency situations. The hormone boosts the supply of oxygen and glucose to the brain and muscles, while suppressing other non-emergency bodily processes (digestion in particular).[citation needed] It increases heart rate and stroke volume, dilates the pupils, and constricts arterioles in the skin and gastrointestinal tract while dilating arterioles in skeletal muscles." Source

    "Norepinephrine is used as a vasopressor medication" Source Vaopressor: Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels resulting from contraction of the muscular wall of the vessels, particularly the large arteries, arterioles and veins.

    "A penile erection occurs when two tubular structures that run the length of the penis, the corpora cavernosa, become engorged with venous blood. " Source

    BAM! No discussing here, just pure facts :D
