Sex and drugs: new survey explores what comes first
NCT ID NCT02969694
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study surveyed 55 men who have sex with men who use psychostimulants (like synthetic cathinones) during sex. Researchers used a questionnaire called G-STAT during a regular addiction clinic visit to see if hypersexuality is caused by the drugs or existed before. The goal is to better understand the connection and improve care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better understand whether hypersexuality is caused by drug use or pre-existing, guiding more tailored addiction support.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational survey with only 55 participants, so findings may not apply to broader populations. It does not test any treatment.
