Chemical submission, a unisex phenomenon: the case of @justem0ha
Male Victims: An Ignored Phenomenon Although reported cases of chemical submission primarily involve women , it is essential to understand that men, too, are victims of this form of violence . The invisibility of male victims contributes to reinforcing taboos around chemical submission and slowing down the recognition of this plague. Stereotypes and Minimization of the Problem One of the major obstacles to recognizing chemical submission on men, lies in gender stereotypes that portray them as dominant and capable of defending themselves against any form of aggression . These stereotypes, deeply rooted in society , fuel the idea that a man cannot be vulnerable in the same way a woman can. This creates an environment where sexual or physical aggression against men, particularly in the context of chemical submission , is minimised. Additionally, many male victims remain silent for fear of losing their social status, being ridiculed, or having their manhood questioned. Types of Male Victims Men who are victims of chemical submission are not limited to a specific profile. This phenomenon affects men of different sexual orientations and in various social contexts. Gay and bisexual men are targeted by abusers seeking to exert control over them, using substances such as GHB . Chemical submission becomes a tool to manipulate the victim and subject them to sexual acts without their consent. Heterosexual men are also victims, particularly in situations where psychological and sexual domination mechanisms are at work. For example, in some abusive relationships or in social environments where social pressure is strong, a man may be drugged without his knowledge in order to be manipulated, humiliated, or forced into acts that he would not have consented to under normal circumstances. The Consequences of Chemical Submission on Men The physical and psychological effects of chemical submission on men are the same as on women. When a man is a victim of chemical submission , he may experience loss of consciousness, an inability to react to his environment, or even partial amnesia of the events. The psychological consequences are profound. Victims may suffer from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and intense feelings of shame and humiliation. The experience of chemical submission alters their perception of themselves and their relationships, sometimes making it difficult to rebuild trust in others. Testimonies and Victims' Stories One of the most powerful ways to raise awareness and break the silence around male chemical submission is to share survivor stories. These stories can help to understand the reality of male survivors and encourage others to come forward. In a video shared by Bound Media on TikTok , Mohammed or @justem0ha recounts his experience where he was drugged during a party. He explains that he lost all consciousness and found himself vulnerable to the manipulations of his attackers . After the attack, he suffered from fragmented memory and deep humiliation. His testimony highlights how chemical submission can occur in seemingly harmless social settings, and how it can profoundly affect a male victim, not only physically, but psychologically as well. This kind of experience highlights the importance of breaking taboos and allowing men to feel legitimately concerned and supported in such situations.
