“Reclaiming Sober S//x”
In this monologue, Dallas Bragg addresses men—particularly those recovering from methamphetamine use—who have been told to “reclaim sober sex.” He argues that many of these men never experienced a healthy sexuality to begin with; their early sexual encounters were often dark, intoxicated, and lacking guidance. Because there was no solid foundation, the concept of “reclaiming” is misleading. Instead, Bragg reframes the work as an opportunity to build a new, self‑authored sexuality from scratch. He acknowledges that this process can feel awkward, take longer than desired, and stir feelings of brokenness, but emphasizes that it is a privilege to design one’s own sexual curriculum. He invites viewers to comment for personalized starting points, positioning the community as a supportive resource for constructing a healthier sexual life post‑recovery.
