For many people, taking illegal drugs is a method of escaping reality; of seeing, feeling, and thinking differently. It gives them the chance to explore the world they know from an altered perspective. The prospect of such an experience is especially enticing to young people, which is why substance use is often closely associated with clubs, concerts, parties, and other venues frequented by adolescents and young adults.
While these sensations can be enjoyable in the moment, sex under the influence of drugs can present inconvenient or dangerous consequences after its pleasant effects have worn off.
One drug that is particularly popular when it comes to enhancing bodily sensations is ecstasy. Many users report experiencing spikes in energy levels, increased mood and happiness, and the desire to be social and interact closely with the people around them. Given its ability to enhance the senses, ecstasy can alter and heighten the sexual experience.
