YT: Chemsex: The Solution

In this monologue, Dallas Bragg argues that chemsex—using crystal meth in sexual contexts—is not an arbitrary attraction but a response to deep psychological blind spots. He identifies two core blind spots: (1) a feeling of not being enough, which leads individuals to use crystal meth as a temporary worth generator that boosts confidence and desirability; and (2) the belief that being desired equates to having value, where sex while on crystal provides fleeting validation that silences fears of invisibility and rejection. Bragg explains how these blind spots create a blueprint that makes chemsex appear as a solution, despite its destructive consequences, by filling specific emotional gaps with artificial, short‑lived feelings of worth and acceptance.
