Maybe . . . : Any narcotic or opioid used chronically can lead to sexual dysfunction from hypogonadism since long term narcotic use can lead to pituiatry dysfunction which decreases lh & fsh, thus lower t & sperm production.

Yes: A man should expect to be impotent or nearly so while taking any heavy-duty opiate, though some men are affected more severely than others. A woman's response may be less predictable.

Like all opioids: Sexual dysfunction and low testosterone are well recognized adverse effects of all opioids.
