Socially maladjusted men and their sexual scripts in the context of psychoactive substance use

Abstract

Introduction: The research topic was psychoactive substance use as a factor that diversifies the respondents’ sexual scripts and as an element of their sexual activity. Material and methods: The data were obtained from research projects carried out among 18-year-aged Voluntary Labour Corps members (N = 563) and prisoners (N = 485). The method used was a diagnostic survey. Results: Adolescent drug use, frequent alcohol consumption, alcohol abuse or early symptoms of alcohol dependence co-occur with more frequent sexual contacts and particularly with risky behaviours such as early sexual initiation (under the age of 15), giving up contraception, prostitution and a large number of sex partners. The majority of men have had multiple sexual experiences while being intoxicated with alcohol or drugs. Streszczenie
