Recreational users ingest GHB, a depressant and psychoactive drug, to heighten arousal and spark feelings of euphoria. A controlled substance in Britain and the United States, it is sometimes found at raves — and, more recently, in the small but controversial “chemsex” subculture of London, New York City and other urban areas...

Mephedrone, also known as “meow meow,” is a synthetic stimulant derived from khat, an African herb. As GHB use appears to be spiking in popularity in the United States, mephedrone is accruing new users in the United Kingdom. Although chemists first synthesized mephedrone in 1929, it’s a relative newcomer to the recreational-drug pantheon — a recent paper in the journal Lancet notes that it appeared in London about 2007. By 2015, it was responsible for 34 deaths, according to the Lancet study, up from 22 in 2014.

Taking GHB, mephedrone and crystal meth together is meant to “induce a feeling of instant rapport with sexual partners,” the authors of the BMJ paper write. The ultimate goal is better sex — for long periods of time, frequently and with multiple partners...

The extent of chemsex’s popularity has been difficult to pin down. (One of the few studies to specifically address chemsex consists of interviews with 30 men.) In a survey of more than a thousand men who have sex with men in south London, 1 in 5 reported participating in chemsex at some point in the past five years. Part of the difficulty in assessing chemsex’s prevalence is because it’s such a new phenomenon — journalist Alex Klineberg, who detailed his experience with the chemsex scene for the Huffington Post, wrote that as recently as 2008, “nobody was talking about” chemsex.

as a gay friend put it, "i have more friends i've fucked than friends i haven't," and i don't think many joyless squares can say the same

i guess it's possible to be into multiple partners but not into drugs. but that seems like a factitious distinction if the two correlate in practice.

yeah, but if you're into the club scene, you're much more likely than a boring, joyless square to know people who are into the chemsex scene and to participate in it. no one ever said that 100% of people who hook up also take GHB or ecstasy, just that it seems like there are much higher concentrations of GHB/ecstasy use in clubgoing populations than among boring squares. i mean, are you even arguing otherwise?

re have i ever had sex, yes, i've been married for over a decade. have i ever had chemsex on ecstasy with a group of strangers? no. this seems to support, rather than undermine, what i was saying about correlations between promiscuity and drug use

"In the London gay chemsex scene, a lot of people that do that are actually doctors," he said. "They're professionals, they're lawyers.

"And a lot of them manage to juggle this lifestyle -- weekends of drugs -- and then they go to work perhaps a bit worn on Monday, but they manage."

LIBS???

But Hannah McCall, an author of the editorial and a London-based reproductive-health expert, told The Washington Post in November she “wouldn’t call it outlandish behavior.”
