In this podcast excerpt, Speaker A, an autistic individual, recounts how chemsex became a pivotal part of their life. They describe how the pharmacological effects of chemsex provided a sense of security that enabled them to engage in spontaneous sexual encounters, something they had not experienced before due to their neurodivergent traits. Speaker A emphasizes that chemsex operates as a "double addiction": biologically, it triggers dopamine release, while psychologically, it fulfills a deep-seated need for confidence and spontaneity. Even after achieving recovery and no longer experiencing physiological cravings, the speaker notes that the psychological imprint—missing the former sense of strength and the lifestyle—can persist indefinitely.

So from that moment onwards, then my chemsex life and issues started. And I have to say that I liked it. And as a, as a person that because of his neurodivergency, autistic, never had this, this easy life in engaging in random sex with a stranger like this, like cold turkey, like you were saying, using the chems medicated that aspect because it got me more secure in myself. I was able to engage in random sex with random people. honestly, like this. And that was so appealing to me on a psychological level. And this is another of the things that I wanted to mention, which is that chemsex can be a double addiction. It acts on you on, on a biological level, which is the dopamine release and all that stuff that we just mentioned. But there is a huge component that is psychological and you might be recovered. You might not have cravings anymore on the stage of recovery at some point. Mm-hmm. But the psychological aspect of it might stick to you for life. The fact that You still miss that part of you, who you were back then, how strong you were. That sticks to you.
