A contextual behavioral model of chemsex: structural equation modeling of psychological predictors of hypersexuality and drug use
Overview
This study uses structural equation modeling to examine how psychological inflexibility, loneliness, intimacy difficulties, and internalized homophobia predict hypersexuality and sexualized substance use among gay and bisexual men. The authors propose a contextual behavioral model framing these behaviors as forms of experiential avoidance. The resource is primarily intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the psychological mechanisms underlying chemsex.
