Chemsex

Chemsex is the term given to sex under the influence of stimulant drugs such as methamphetamine or mephedrone, often in a group setting.

Many people take part in chemsex as the drugs used have a range of effects including increased sex drive, lower inhibitions, reduced appetite and increased energy levels.

While some people feel comfortable with their drug use, chemsex can become problematic due to the increased risk of STI/HIV transmission, adverse mental health effects or drug dependency.
