Chemsex and Abuse

Chemsex is a growing phenomenon that identifies the use of specific psychoactive substances within sexual activity among men who have sex with men (MSM) to facilitate, enhance, and prolong the sexual experience [1]. Chemsex represents a specific pattern of drug use that has produced a subculture within the LGBT community [2], with distinctive characteristics that differentiate it from other types of psychoactive substance use [3, 4].
