Chemsex

Under Chemsex , in English commonly known in the United States also Party and Play (PnP) or the United Kingdom High and Horny (HH), the human sexual intercourse under the influence of is synthetic drugs ( "chems") understood. Substances such as GHB / GBL , mephedrone , ketamine and crystal meth are often used . Sometimes poppers are also included. The phenomenon is common in the gay scene around the world.

A study of men who have sex with men in Germany shows that chemsex is often practiced to increase intimacy and sexual pleasure through the feeling of intoxication. Sex often happens without a condom , unprotected or protected with PrEP or therapy as prevention (TasP). Some doctors and practitioners make Chemsex in connection with a higher probability with venereal disease to infect. Rising rates of HIV infection have been linked to gay chemsex parties.

Since 2016, the European Chemsex Forum, a conference dedicated to the subject of Chemsex, has been taking place.
