My boyfriend (who's been clean for 10 years) recently told me when he was using he would give blowjobs to guys for drug money. He said "You have to realize I was so deep in my heroin use". But I feel lost and confused about what this means. Obviously I should talk to him more about this, but I feel like it must be a delicate subject, so I'm looking for a little insight first. Do straight men really do this? Should I be worried about what it means about his sexual orientation? Any advice or experiences on this matter is appreciated.
Thanks
Emily :)
You have to make him stop with his addiction. Not only the drug is harmful to his life but also his way of getting it. I think its too much and i know you feel bad of it.
Hi Emily30,
I know, as an addict, that some people will do whatever they need to, to get what they need. Prostitution is a very easy business to get in to and many, many people do it to get money for drugs.
Is it dangerous?? Absolutely! Should he have done what he did? probably not. But when you are addicted to drugs, especially heroin, I found out I would do things I never, ever in a million years would have done before my addiction. It made me a person I was ashamed of and one I never want to be like again.
You might try the "other addictions" board, ask your questions over there, if what we have said here doesn't satisfy you.
It is up to you two as a couple to talk about his sexual orientation, maybe he is bi-sexual, or why would he be in a relationship with you?
It sounds like his addiction is in the past and as long as he isn't doing it now, and is continuing to go to meetings, etc, to avoid relapsing, its should stay in the past.

Hi Emily
I truly hope that you got some insight and that you either were to make peace with it or at least speak to your bf openly.
It is a big step for any addict to open up and tell their stories to anyone. I also did things I am not proud of while I was high. You loose all perspective of the world and responsibility. All that is on your mind is how to get your next high.
I personally were put in front of the challenge of trading my body for drugs. I refused to do it and my friend who I was using with at that time wasn't very happy with me and I told him if he wants it so badly he can do it.
Try and be open and understanding.
All of the best
