Does nicotine affect sexual performance?

Nicotine's impact on sexual performance is acknowledged as generally negative. Although nicotine can improve cognitive performance and motor output in specific scenarios, such as in complex tasks requiring precise coordination, it does not generally enhance physical output, especially when delivered through cigarettes, vaping, or other common methods. Moreover, Andrew Huberman explains that the combined effects of nicotine delivery methods like smoking, vaping, and dipping are detrimental to various aspects of health, including sexual performance. This is due to disruptions in vasculature and endothelial function, which are critical for overall cellular health and function, including sexual health 1 2.
