Lust, Men and Meth: A Study Guide
Paperback – January 20, 2026
by David M. Fawcett, PhD and Dallas Bragg
Companion volume to Lust, Men and Meth

Lust, Men and Meth: A Study Guide expands upon the groundbreaking work introduced in Lust, Men and Meth, offering a practical, compassionate, and structured resource for understanding and recovering from methamphetamine use within gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. Co-authored by psychologist Dr. David Fawcett and recovery coach Dallas Bragg, this paperback transforms research and clinical insight into an accessible, interactive guide for real-world healing.

Drawing on clinical practice, lived experience, and deep community connection, the Study Guide blends core concepts from the original book with guided exercises, journaling prompts, discussion questions, and evidence-informed recovery strategies. Readers are invited to explore the complex intersections of chemsex, desire, intimacy, trauma, pleasure, and emotional coping, while developing tools to interrupt compulsive cycles and foster sustainable change.

The book is designed for multiple settings: individual reflection, peer-support groups, clinical practice, and community-based programming. It addresses the shame, secrecy, and stigma that often surround chemsex with honesty and care, while emphasizing resilience, self-compassion, and reconnection. Complex neuroscience and behavioral concepts are translated into clear, usable frameworks that support awareness, choice, and long-term recovery.

Updated to reflect shifts in technology, drug availability, and social dynamics, Lust, Men and Meth: A Study Guide acknowledges that chemsex is no longer confined to a single community or geography. Instead, it offers an inclusive, culturally sensitive approach that recognizes the evolving realities of sexualized drug use in a digital, global landscape.

Thoughtful, structured, and deeply affirming, this paperback study guide is an essential companion for therapists, recovery coaches, peer facilitators, and anyone supporting men in reclaiming intimacy, autonomy, and a more connected, self-directed life.
