Duncan Roy wrote this interesting article about reasons why some gay men can't stay sober. He mentioned that sex is the reason.
In his article, Duncan speaks on why hang-ups about sex and morality leads our community down a dangerous path.
He writes:
Gay men find it impossible to stay sober. They relapse again and again. The reason is clear: sex. Sexual addiction. I am not suggesting that all gay men who claim that they are alcoholic are in fact sex addicts but most gay men who can't stay sober cite sex as the primary reason for relapse.I found this to be very interesting and there were some good points made. Please check it and let me know your thoughts.
The simple fact of the matter is that most of the time, readily available anonymous hook ups quickly take the place of alcohol and drugs. When a sober man walks into the apartment of a super hot man doing crystal meth, sobriety is quickly flushed down the toilet along with HIV status.
