“…Mephedrone, γ-hydroxybutyric acid/γ-butyrolactone (GHB/GBL) and methamphetamine are very characteristic drugs in chemsex sessions [ 3 ]. However, polydrug use is common [ 4 ]. The key element of these sessions is their duration, which can last for days, and in which it is common to have sex with multiple partners and to engage in risky behavior such as intravenous drug use (known as slamsex) [ 5 ].…”

“…Following Stuart (2019), engagement in chemsex is not necessarily problematic nor addictive, being important in promoting a person’s agency and autonomy to make choices based on their own assessment of the consequences [ 8 ]. Chemsex can enhance men’s capability to have the sex they want by increasing libido, sexual arousal and performance, pleasure, facilitation of sexual relations, euphoria, empathy, socialization, self-esteem, confidence, and disinhibition [ 4 , 9 ].…”

“…The main drugs involved in this practice are mephedrone, γ-hydroxybutyrate/γ-butyrolactone (GHB/GBL), and crystal-methamphetamine (crystal-meth) [2], although other drugs have also been reported, including ketamine, other synthetic cathinones, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), cocaine, poppers, and erectile-dysfunction drugs, [3]. Other aspects of this phenomenon, such as the use of geosocial networking applications to locate or participate in sex parties, should be taken into consideration because of their relevance and implications [4]. The use of smartphone applications (apps) designed to enable MSM to find casual sexual partners has been linked to a higher number of sexual partners, a higher probability of engaging in unprotected anal intercourse, and a higher probability of having been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) [5].…”

“…: uso de drogas para la modulación de la tecnosexualidad Chemsex es un concepto originado en Reino Unido con el estudio pionero de McCall et al (2015) para hacer alusión a prácticas sexuales bajo la influencia de drogas, principalmente entre hombres que tienen sexo con hombres, refiriendo particularmente al uso de mefedrona, GHB, GBL 11 y metanfetamina cristalizada usadas en forma combinada para facilitar sesiones sexuales que duran varias horas o días, con múltiples parejas sexuales 12 . Este artículo también sugirió que el estudio del chemsex debe ser una prioridad de salud pública; a partir de esto, los medios de comunicación británicos, y posteriormente de otros países europeos y americanos, recogieron este tema con una impronta sensacionalista (Dolengevich et al, 2017;Fernández-Dávila, 2016), extrapolando conclusiones y conceptos que surgieron de un estudio puntual sobre uso de drogas en contextos sexuales entre hombres gays y bisexuales en tres municipios de Londres, promoviendo la estigmatización de las personas que llevan adelante prácticas sexuales minoritarias y recurren a las drogas para modular su tecnosexualidad.…”
