Methamphetamine can lead to uninhibited sex
The stimulant street drug methamphetamine, commonly called "crystal", affects the neurotransmitter dopamine, which influences the part of the brain associated with wonderful sex. The problem is that the drug changes the sexual behavior of people who might normally practice safe sex. When people are on methamphetamine, all rational thinking about safe sex is erased, and they go about having the kind of sex they want to have with no thought about protection.
