[[File:Methamphetamine.svg|250px|thumbnail|Skeletal structure of [[Methamphetamine]], a [[stimulant]] commonly associated with stim fapping.]]
'''Stimfapping''' is a highly sophisticated [[Psychonautics|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 [[Orgasm depression|difficulty orgasming]] <ref>Chou NH, Huang YJ, Jiann BP. The Impact of Illicit Use of Amphetamine on Male Sexual Functions. J Sex Med. 2015 Aug;12(8):1694-702. doi: 10.1111/jsm.12926. Epub 2015 Jul 6. PMID: 26147855.</ref>, 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.

Stimfapping is thought to have first been practiced 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 precise point the term "stimfapping" was coined, it is generally agreed upon that it likely stems from the r/Stims community on the popular website Reddit.

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 agonist might promote comfort and feelings of self-affection, while helping reducing twitchiness.

Disclaimer: The effects listed below cite the Subjective Effect Index (SEI), an open research literature based on anecdotal user reports and the personal analyses of PsychonautWikicontributors. As a result, they should be viewed with a healthy degree of skepticism.
It is also worth noting that these effects will not necessarily occur in a predictable or reliable manner, although higher doses are more liable to induce the full spectrum of effects. Likewise, adverse effects become increasingly likely with higher doses and may include addiction, severe injury, or death ☠.
