In this segment, the speaker argues that masturbation can serve as a practical relapse‑prevention technique for individuals recovering from chemsex. The focus is not on sexual pleasure but on regulating hormone levels to avoid triggering cravings. The speaker emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate fantasies and pornography, warning against using the same types of porn that were associated with chemsex sessions—especially “chemsex porn” or “slamming porn.” Such content can reignite cravings and lead to relapse, even for those who consider themselves in recovery. The speaker advises using porn only if necessary, and only content that does not mirror the chemsex environment, to maintain safety during recovery.

I think masturbation is very important in the process, or masturbation as a relapse prevention tool. Not necessarily masturbation for the luxury of masturbation. It's more about kind of keeping the hormones to a low enough so they're not acting as a trigger. But then how do we masturbate? What do we masturbate to? What fantasy do we masturbate? In my experience, often the guys I work with will, their fantasy will go to historical chemsex experiences, and they really struggle with that. So with porn, if it needs to be done, then use it, but then it's really important that you're not kind of watching the same type of pornography that you would have been watching in a chemsex party, for instance. And there is a phenomenon out there, even with people in recovery, that it's almost like this morbid curiosity that they will go to chemsex porn. Or slamming porn. And that's incredibly dangerous because you pretty much relapse at that stage, right?
