What if healing from addiction didn’t start with shame—but with movement, pleasure, and connection?

In this episode, Dr. Dallas Bragg sits down with his guest, Gary—a therapist, conscious DJ, somatic sexologist in training, and creator of sensuality workshop and ecstatic dance for GBTQ men ‘Pleasure Medicine’—to explore the impact of chemsex in the LGBTQ community and how practices like conscious dance and embodiment can help men reconnect with their bodies, desire, and sense of self.

Together, they unpack the emotional and physical aftermath of meth use, the role of vulnerability in redefining masculinity, and how true recovery begins after quitting. From kink to creativity, this conversation offers a compassionate look at healing through joy, softness, and authentic connection.
