When Lust, Men and Meth: A Gay Man’s Guide to Sex and Recovery first introduced readers to the world of sexualised drug use—or chemsex—it documented a critical emergency emerging within specific communities. A decade later, the landscape has irrevocably shifted.
In this study guide, David Fawcett and Dallas Bragg have broadened the lens to capture the full scope of sexualised drug use today, how it impacts bisexual, transgender, and even heterosexual subcultures.
Drawing on clinical insight, lived experience, and deep community connection, Fawcett and Bragg present a clear, step-by-step guide to recovery that is scientifically informed, accessible, and profoundly human. Designed for both clinicians and individuals seeking change, it transforms complex neurobiology and behaviour into tools for awareness, resilience, and reconnection.
With the ubiquity of smartphone apps and evolving drug supplies, chemsex is no longer confined; it’s global, digital, and increasingly diverse. This essential workbook acknowledges the seismic changes in technology, neuroscience, and demographics that now define this complex behaviour.
Join David Fawcett and Dallas Bragg at The Common Press on March 7th from 7 PM for an evening of discussion, followed by a Q&A and book signing afterward.
