Drunk and having sex

There's no question that taking drugs 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, teams of researchers from New York University and Johns Hopkins University published two separate studies on the topic in the Archives of Sexual Behavior and Psychopharmacology. The first study in Archives of Sexual Behavior is an in-depth, qualitative study that focuses on the details of how marijuana and alcohol affect sex, and followed the sex lives of 24 participants — 12 men, 12 women, all heterosexual — to glean information. The second from Psychopharmacology focuses on cocaine's effect on sex based on controlled administration of the drug to 12 participants who didn't know whether they were taking the drug or a placebo during the study. Some of the surface findings seem cool and fun — people are more talkative!

It is a difficult problem. I believe that women who consent to sex while drunk should not be able to file rape claims when they later regret the event. Also, if a woman is too drunk to remember whether or not she consented to sex it should not automatically be rape. However, if a woman is unconscious, or loses consciousness during sex, and if the man continues, it should definitely be categorised as rape.

A criminal barrister says men should not sleep with women who've drank any alcohol - because consent laws are misunderstood by some men. She wrote: "The law is simple. If a woman has had a drink, and says after sex she did not have the choice, freedom and capacity to consent, the man can be accused of rape. A man being drunk is no defence in law. Intoxication blurs so many psychological boundaries — from impairing our ability to make judgements we would easily make sober to provoking memory loss and occasionally and creating false memories.
