Will Lawn - Drugs, Pleasure and Sexual Experiences: A Cross-Sectional Internet Survey by the Global

The relationship between drug use and sexual pleasure or well-being is analyzed through self-reported survey findings from the Global Drugs Survey. Data indicates that substances like MDMA, LSD, and psilocybin generally show high user-rated positive benefits and low associated harms. This contrasts with legal substances like alcohol, which are frequently reported as having more negative outcomes. The findings challenge existing drug classification systems which often do not include user-reported positive effects in their evaluations. The data reveals strong correlations between usage frequency and reported benefits for certain substances, suggesting that users may actively manage drug intake to optimize positive experiences while mitigating negative ones.
