Patrick Strudwich, from Buzzfeed, interviewed a series of men after Stephen Port’s trial in 2016 and his findings were quite frightening. The Hidden WorldĪlready, the concept of chemsex is shocking to many, but there is an even darker side to it that, until recently, was not reported on. There are various reasons that people admit to when asked why they do it including, but not limited to, internalised homophobia and negative feelings about their sexuality (McCall, 2015), loneliness due to rejection from their family and friends, a desire for a total escape to avoid mental pain, depression, body dysmorphia, and “intimacy without investment” (Strudwick, 2016).

(2014), 1 in 5 had experienced chemsex in the last 5 years, and 1 in 10 had done it in the last 4 weeks. When asked if they had taken them in the last 4 weeks, these numbers dropped to 2%, 3.2%, and 5.3% respectively.įurthermore, according to a survey of over 1,000 gay men in London by Bourne et al. They found that 8.4% had taken crystal methamphetamines “at some point”, 12.5% had taken GHB, and 16.5% had taken mephedrone. There is a lack of reliable, large sample statistics on chemsex, however in 2014, England Gay Men’s Sex Survey studied a sample of 15,360 men. The age range is vast, with those as young as 16 years old up to those in their seventies and eighties stating that they have had experiences with chemsex. Whilst it is only a small proportion of homosexual men who actually take part, chemsex is becoming more widespread. Who is affected?Īs mentioned, the main population involved in chemsex is homosexual men. According to Max Daly from Vice, both men seemed to use their knowledge of Chemsex as an excuse for their killings. Port murdered and raped four young men in East London, while Brizzi partially ate and dissolved a police officer in the south of the City. The darker underbelly of the chemsex scene came into the public forum during the trials of two murderers Stephen Port and Stefano Brizzi. Chemsex also leads to feelings of confidence, being sexually adventurous, a heightened sense of pleasure, increased stamina, and enhanced endurance.Ĭhemsex has been around for years, coming to the UK from America, but it had remained hidden until the NHS and British Medical Journal recently identified it as a health priority. Partaking in chemsex provides the individual with a sense of invulnerability to risk or harm, leading to dangerous practices and an increase in the chances of contracting Hepatitis C, HIV and other STIs through both unprotected sex and sharing needles. Typically, those engaging in chemsex can spend 2-3 days engaging in sexual activities with one or multiple partners, often without sleep, food, or water. These drugs in particular make people lose their inhibitions, with GHB also being a mild anaesthetic, encouraging potentially more harmful and painful sex. Most often they are in a liquid or powder form, but sometimes they are injected – this is known as “slamsex”. The drugs that are involved are crystal methamphetamine, GHB (Gamma hydroxybutrate), and mephedrone.

Chemsex is a hidden subculture of gay society, with an even more clandestine underside.Ĭhemsex is when people, most commonly gay men, take drugs that enhance sex and make them feel uninhibited.
