Chemsex and the internet

Chemsex is a term that has been used to refer to a specific type of drug-fuelled sexual activity, usually involving the recreational use of drugs such as crystal meth, GHB, and mephedrone, combined with sexual contact. It is often associated with the LGBTQ+ community and can take place both online and in person.

The internet has been a major factor in the rise of chemsex, as it has allowed people to come together in safe and anonymous spaces to discuss their experiences and share information on drug use and sexual practices. Online chemsex parties have become increasingly popular, providing a space for people to explore their sexuality and drug use in a way that is not possible in the real world.

However, there are a number of risks associated with chemsex, including addiction, mental health problems, and the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. It is important that people engaging in chemsex are aware of the potential risks and are able to access support and advice to ensure that their experiences are as safe and positive as possible.
