Understanding Chemsex
I Only Use Crystal Meth for Sex — Can It Still Become a Problem
In this video, I explore what can happen when crystal meth becomes strongly connected with sex — and why frequency alone doesn't necessarily tell you everything about your relationship with it.
About this video
“I only use crystal meth when I have sex.”
For some men, that distinction can make crystal meth use feel contained. You may have a successful career, relationships, friends and a completely functional everyday life. You may never use crystal at work or during the week.
But you might still find yourself wondering:
When should I actually start worrying about this?
Some questions worth considering include:
• Can you still enjoy sex without crystal meth? • Are you using more frequently than you intended? • Do sexual arousal, hookup apps or certain people trigger the desire to use? • Do you repeatedly break boundaries you've set for yourself? • Is sober sex becoming less appealing? • Are Chemsex sessions lasting longer than you planned? • Is Chemsex occupying more of your thoughts, weekends or sex life? • Have you started wondering whether something needs to change?
You don't have to identify as an addict before taking those questions seriously.
And you don't have to wait until your career, relationships, health or life begin falling apart.
