Stimfapping

Stimfapping is a highly sophisticated psychonaut activity which involves intense masturbation sessions while under the influence of stimulants. Due to the increased libido commonly produced by certain stimulants, regular users often feel the need to engage in sexual and autosexual acts more often. entactogenic stimulants, such as MDMA, are usually associated with increased emotional connection and users are disinhibited and more likely to engage in physical intimacy with others. However, some non-entactogenic stimulants, such as amphetamine and methamphetamine can cause anxiety and anti-social behavior, sometimes forcing users to masturbate rather than seek sexual partners. Amphetamine use is also connected with erectile dysfunction and difficulty orgasming ^[1], thus even prolonging the time needed to reach desired satisfaction. Anecdotal evidence suggests that majority of stimfappers are male, although the libido-influencing nature of stimulants is present in all sexes.

History and culture

The earliest known occurance of stimfapping is likely to have been over 5,000 years ago when Ephedrine started being used in traditional Chinese medicine. Due to its mild dopamine releasing effects it is hypothesized that proto-stimfapping might have accured.

While scholars disagree at what time the term "stimfapping" was coined, it is generally agreed upon that it likely stems from the r/Stims community on the popular website Reddit.

Pharmacology

Stimfaping is typically practiced under the influence of dopamine releasing agents or reuptake-inhibitors, these substances often also have minor serotonergic activity.

Anecdotal evidence also suggest that careful addition of an opioid agonists might be a contributing factor.

Harm potential

Stimfapping carries risks of stimulant abuse and pornography/masturbation addiction, aswell as physical injury due to continuous friction over the extend of the bindge.

Some users also report cases of Epididymal hypertension(also refered to as blue balls).

Other serious side effects include sexual dysfunction, social isolation and feelings of shame once no longer under the influence of stimulants.
