Dallas Bragg survived a brutal assault during a methamphetamine-fueled sexual encounter when his attacker, experiencing psychosis, beat and restrained him. Bragg talked his way free by manipulating the man's mindset, then warns that chemsex violence—rape, beating, death—is a real and constant risk for men using meth.
I haven't talked about this much on social media, if at all. During my active meth use, I was beaten and tied up naked by the hands of a man in psychosis right after he slammed. That night, I truly, truly believed I would be unalived, and I almost was. I remember sending my kids prayers in my head, hoping that they would hear them wherever they were. Thankfully, I've always been very resourceful And I was able to play into the scenario in his head, and I convinced him to untie me. I was fortunate. Many aren't. Listen, chemsex violence is real. Men are raped, beaten, and many die at the hands of meth-induced violence. This could easily happen to you when you least expect it. Your next time could be your last time. Think about that.
