Ways sex changes when you’re drunk or high – There’s no question that smoking weed or drinking before you have sex has an effect on the, ahem, activities that follow. Surely this is something you’ve discussed among friends, but to give your next conversation about the nuances of sex under the influence a bit more weight, assistant professor Joseph Palamar and a team of researchers at New York University published an in-depth, qualitative study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior on how, exactly, marijuana and alcohol affect our bodies and sex lives.

Because the researchers were more focused on getting as many details as possible, the study only included 24 participants — 12 men, 12 women, all heterosexual. Some of the surface findings seem cool and fun — people are more talkative! Sex lasts longer! Yay! But among the findings are the negatives you might expect: total memory loss from blacking out, feelings of regret, and people left wondering whether or not they’d used a condom. Some participants also discuss sexual encounters between two people who were clearly very drunk — which, legally, is a criminal act(You have to be able to give consent, and you can’t give consent if you’re drunk.) So maybe don’t use this study as an excuse to try sex under the influence of every drug under the sun. Definitely don’t. That being said: Here are 21 ways sex changes when you’re high or when you’re drunk.
1. Drinking makes you more outgoing and more likely to connect with potential partners. No surprise here.
2. But drinking led to more people choosing partners they may not normally pick.Palamar’s team found a lot of negatives associated with being drunk or high before sex, but one of the biggest ones is that people who’d been drinking reported being more likely to choose an “atypical partner” or experience “post-sex regret.” People commonly complained of things like seeing a partner “in the daylight” for the first time or feeling like they woke up to a “different person” after hooking up drunk.
