Who taught you sex is a drug? As long as words mean their definitions, it’s categorically not. Plus it’s probably kinda harmful to pile on the stigma already surrounding sex by conflating it with drugs and all the stigma that comes with that.
Hopefully I’m wrong, but it’s kinda giving a nofap pseudoscience red flag to me.
Parents definitely should be teaching their kids about this stuff at the appropriate time, but they should stick to the facts.
I mean… it is a rush of dopamine and can become addictive. Same as a videogame or gambling though. Not a drug but can get unhealthy if it leads to maladaptive daily functioning.

First they came for the sex, then they came after the drugs. Now they’re trying to take my rock and roll

I’ve heard music is a drug, too. It was all drugs, all along. We probably should’ve known, honestly.

Did you know that rock and roll is actually a plate of spaghetti?

Spaghetti = Carbs = Sugar = Addictive Drug

Is being high without the approval of your partner okay?

I guess that depends very much on your partner and the relationship you have together…
