Stimulants Meth and lack of interest in sex

[curiositykitty]

I'm curious if anyone has advise on how to find the desire for sex while using meth. In my own experience, for many years sex was the last thing on my mind while high. Just wasn't interested, and preoccupied with other stuff.

I'm not sure how or why that changed for me. Not that I'm sex crazed now when I am high, but I do enjoy it.

My bf is like I used to be. Says he just doesn't think about sex and lacks any real interest in it. I can't figure out what it was that changed it for me.

Anybody here have advise on what we\he\I could do to change that for him?

I want to say that sexual health is a legitimate concern for the HR forums, so I don't think we need to move this or anything.

As most of you know, Methamphetamine is not really my arena, but I have enough experience with using Amphetamines to comment on it, I feel. One of the first things I remember about using Amphetamines in High School was feeling like I could have sex with almost anyone. The sexual stimulation was extremely powerful. Like a lot of other people, if I take too much Amphetamine, I can end up in a sexual thought loop that I feel I can't even control.

What I've noticed among people I know who use Methamphetamine, is that sexual stimulation typically comes in the honeymoon phase of the drug. As people use Methamphetamine for longer periods of time, it seems to be normal for the extreme increase in libido to subside in favor of repetitive activities like cleaning, organizing etc. Everyone is different of course, but that seems to be the way it goes.

Not directly related to meth and sex (though I use meth a lot for sexual purposes) but I was in a long term relationship where my partner's interest in sex basically died one day and the bed felt as cold as Siberia. The advice I got from a therapist was to encourage my partner to shower with me and to wash each other but with no expectations about anything else. And if they didn't care enough to listen to my needs and agree to try something to reconsider whether they were the right person to be with. Anyway I suggested it to her and we agreed every Tuesday and Thursday evenings we'd take a bath or long shower together. It took about 2 weeks before we were shagging again regularly whether clean or dirty. It just took some novel tactile and visual activity for her to see me as attractive again. So maybe get high and head for the bathroom?

Maybe you could just do other stuff together while on meth, and then have sex when sober?

Don't give in to the sexual urges while high on this stuff. It'll change you.
My advice is just sticking to porno marathons if the desire is that strong.

Just remember to delete that disturbing browsing history when you're done lol

I've heard fucked up tales about people using too much speed and getting lost in a 12 hour loop of hypersexuality and compulsive masturbation. Not this guy obviously. I'm above all of that. Why are we even talking about this? Stop asking me about pornography. I don't do it!

There's something to be said about conditioning regarding place and emotions when using drugs. We know at this point, that when folks use psychoactive drugs, get high, they tend to become conditioned to specific places and activites. It makes perfect sense really, you get high, feel good and you harken back to those "good times" and all of the people, places and things associated with them.

I dealt mostly with Dominicans when I would get dope as a kid and adult in Lawrence, MA. You have literally no connection to these people beyond purchasing drugs. My mind began to twist into the notion that these people were "friends". Like, how you think, "Man, I'm gonna call my buddy and go to the movies and it'll be so much fun". I was associating these people with good feelings and good times despite the fact that they would refer to us as mericauns (Faggot) and crackers.

I don't know quite how to explain it. Lawrence is a long-gone, depleted, decrepit, post-industrial hell hole, yet for me, it might have been "going to the moveis", because that was my fun. You get conditioned to repeat these behaviors and I feel that Amphetamines are especially prone to cause this, as repetitive behaviors are a hallmark of acute Amphetamine intoxication. I have to be honest. After years of dabbling with speed in college, I conditioned myself into the idea that Amphetamines=Sex and they are of very little practical use to me for this reason.
