Slappe Banaan

Why all those sexy-sounding vape flavours leave you with a limp banana
You probably already knew vaping is bad for your lungs and brain. But did you know it’s also seriously bad for your sex life? Nicotine restricts your blood flow. And without good blood flow, it’s harder to get an erection. One massive cock-block, basically.
So there you are, limp banana in hand, right at the big moment.
Oh, and it’s not just guys who have this problem. The clitoris works in exactly the same way. Less blood flow means less sensation, less arousal and fewer orgasms.
And it makes no difference at all how the nicotine gets into your body. Vapes, snus, cigarettes or nicotine pouches: they’re all bad for your heart, your blood vessels and your sex life.
