This all seems pretty shameful and perverted, and we find it in today’s headlines.
***********************************
A surge in "chemsex" parties, where people spend days getting high on drugs and having sex with scores of partners, is re-fueling epidemics of HIV among gay men in European towns and cities, doctors say.
Despite much higher risks of contracting the virus that causes AIDS, as well as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), users search online "hook-up" apps like Grindr for tags such as "high and horny" or "party and play" to find others wanting drug-heightened and often anonymous and unprotected sex.
Chemsex is characterized by the use of drugs such as crystal meth, mephedrone and GHB, or gamma-hydroxybutyric acid, to enhance sexual arousal, performance and pleasure.
A subset of chemsex is known as "slamsex", where partygoers self-inject drugs rather than taking them as pills or via pipes.
The drugs "reduce inhibitions and increase feelings of horniness or lust," Jaspal said, and contribute to "a perfect storm" in groups with high HIV rates for the virus to spread.
