Sex 'n' Respect with drugs and alcohol

People usually behave differently than they usually would when they’re wasted. They might take more risks or do things they wouldn’t usually do when they’re sober.

Drugs and alcohol are often used by people who do sexually harmful stuff to make it easier to get what they want sexually from others. Sometimes they might target someone who’s already off their face or they might give someone alcohol or drugs with or without their knowledge. They do this to get others wasted so they can do whatever sexual stuff they want to them, or to more easily pressure them into sexSex
Is different things people choose to do to actively express sexuality and sexual feelings; often this involves genitals, but not always. Other words used in place of “sex” could be “sexual activity”, “sexual experiences”, or just “sexual” – they all mean the same thing. Sex can involve one person (i.e. masturbation) or more.
