So we sought out some practical advice.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest challenge, according to therapist and addiction expert <a href=\"http:\/\/david-fawcett.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Fawcett<\/a>, is beating the strong connection formed between drugs &amp; booze&nbsp;and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>, particularly the startling connection between Meth and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>. It is the leading cause of relapse, Fawcett believes, because meth addicts have a hard time doing one without the other. Sex and booze pose a similar trap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/five-sexy-gay-men-on-hiv-prep-explain-why-they-are-taking-the-pill-20150509\">Five Sexy Men On PrEP Explain Why They Are Taking The Pill<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fawcett has just released&nbsp;a new book, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Lust-Men-Meth-Guide-Recovery-ebook\/dp\/B0155PB5XA\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lust, Men and Meth: A Gay Man&rsquo;s Guide to Sex and Recovery<\/a><\/em>.

Take a break from <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, we may have lost most of you right there. But cleansing the palette is crucial for an addict who has been pigging out at the buffet for too long. &ldquo;Sexual desire may be dormant for a while anyway,&rdquo; says Fawcett, &ldquo;and that&rsquo;s not a bad thing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The break also gives the brain a chance to readjust to a lower volume of stimulus,&rdquo; adds Fawcett. In other words, after some time away from <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> it might not take hours of porn and a cast of thousands to get to the finish line.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Get out of drug&nbsp;mode by changing your habits.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The constant drumbeat of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> and more <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> that characterizes meth or <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> addiction has to be arrested &ndash; before you&rsquo;re arrested. To do it, avoid other drugs and even alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Get rid of all your sexual apps and online hookup accounts,&rdquo; says Fawcett, &ldquo;and change your phone number and other contact information.&rdquo; This might seem severe for a regular dude who just wants to get laid, but we&rsquo;re talking about people caught in a dangerous spiral of compulsive <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> and drugs. Desperate times <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">call<\/a> for desperate measures.<\/p>\n<p>And if you&rsquo;ve got your eye on a hot new <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a>, &ldquo;make a date, not a hookup,&rdquo; says Fawcett.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.queerty.com\/?attachment_id=395120\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-395120\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/queerty-prodweb.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp\/docs\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2015-10-22-at-5.06.59-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-10-22 at 5.06.59 PM\" width=\"318\" height=\"408\"><\/a>3. Don&rsquo;t try recreating the addictive <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> you remember.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Okay, so maybe you will miss the dark mysteries, groups, and base piggishness of your previous&nbsp;<a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> life. Get over it, says Fawcett. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s unsustainable, unhealthy, and ultimately unsatisfying,&rdquo; he says.<\/p>\n<p>And get ready to give up your favorite porn sites. &ldquo;Porn keeps addictive thinking alive,&rdquo; says our expert, &ldquo;especially <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">videos<\/a> you associate with abuse.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>It also makes it tougher to get aroused in real life when you have unrealistic sexual Olympics playing in your head.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Redefine what sexual pleasure means to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get out of your head and into your fingertips, Fawcett advises. &ldquo;Rather than being up in your head with fantasies, many of them associated with being high, focus on physical sensations in the here and now.&rdquo; Sounds like the good doctor just recommended lots of healthy masturbation. Score!<\/p>\n<p>Our <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> expert also believes you should do your best Cher impression and turn back time. &ldquo;What got you off before you started acting compulsively?&rdquo; Fawcett asks. &ldquo;Those original thoughts are still there. Reclaim them.&rdquo; Although <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> without drugs&nbsp;might feel quiet and even scary compared to the outrageousness of <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> wth drugs or alcohol, &ldquo;it can also be more subtle, more intense, more erotic, and more satisfying,&rdquo; says Fawcett.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Dial up your capacity for intimacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Drug-fueled <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> is usually the opposite of emotional or intimate, so for addicts trying to recover, intimacy must be relearned. &ldquo;Explore <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> with one person at a time, once you begin having <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> again,&rdquo; Fawcett advises, &ldquo;and stay consciously present with them during <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a>, not distracted with some fantasy in your head.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>To be a truly giving sexual partner, &ldquo;grow your empathy,&rdquo; Fawcett says. Treat the <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">man<\/a> under the sheets&nbsp;as someone you care about, not a slab of beef. Consider how your actions &mdash; your touch, your words &mdash; affect them. Selfishness is rarely sexy.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, be patient. &ldquo;Many <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> have never had <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> without a substance of some kind,&rdquo; says Fawcett. Rebuilding a healthy <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> life &ndash; or building one for the first time &ndash; benefits from a healthy support systems, self-esteem, and perhaps a good therapist if your challenges continue.<\/p>\n<div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=BgqSxz5_E7A:HXSURRky8ek:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?a=BgqSxz5_E7A:HXSURRky8ek:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/queerty2?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Mark<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/queerty2\/~3\/BgqSxz5_E7A\/five-ways-to-reclaim-your-sex-life-after-booze-meth-and-other-substances-20151031\" class=\"autohyperlink\">feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/queerty2\/~3\/BgqSxz5_E7A\/five-ways-to-reclaim-your-sex-life-after-booze-meth-and-other-substances-20151031<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five Ways To Reclaim Your Sex Life After Booze, Meth And Other Substances With crystal meth among <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> becoming a hot topic again (Queerty readers had explosive reactions to a recent&nbsp;claim that <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> are dancing with death), we wondered what kind of hurdles await our <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> brothers who are actually trying to beat &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gayfriendschat.com\/socialblog\/five-ways-to-reclaim-your-sex-life-after-booze-meth-and-other-substances\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Five Ways To Reclaim Your Sex Life After Booze, Meth And Other Substances<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2466,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
