this post contains sexual references.
I read a comment on another website (non-political, but they were talking about Haggard) that using meth makes you want to have sex with pretty much anyone and I was wondering if that was true.
I did a search for "meth sex" and found this:
http://www.tweaker.org/html/crystalsex/cmsex.html"Crystal meth has an infamous association with sex, especially in the gay and bi-sexual community."
"Crystal meth may increase confidence in some users and lower inhibitions. Under the influence, one might give in to the impulse to engage in risky sexual scenarios."
"The biggest risk is from the increased chance of HIV infection through unprotected and uninhibited sex while under the influence of meth. Often safe sex is discarded while sexual activity increases greatly. Some men who have anal sex while on speed are less sensitive to pain responses and may be inclined to have more aggressive sex for longer periods where injury is more likely to occur and the risk of HIV infection is increased."
Then this is from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_methamphetamine_and_sexI didn't know all that. I don't believe Haggard's "I was curious so I bought the meth and then threw it away" story. I don't believe his "I just got a massage, that's all" story. But after reading up on this a bit more (links above), I totally believe what Jones is saying. I wonder if Haggard went to any parties.
