Chemsex has been recognized as a worldwide phenomenon, and there has been a rise in overall medical and academic concerns over chemsex, whereby substance use is linked to boosting sexual satisfaction, typical in a group setting, especially among homosexuals. Chemsex is already implicated in the development of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) as well as a higher likelihood of addiction, anxiety, and depression ( 2, 3).
It is observed that the frequency of chemsex among one research group, MSM attending Dutch STI centers in Limburg, reached 35%.
Chemsex is identified as the use of several drugs shortly before or during sexual intercourse in order to stimulate, extend, and/or enhance sexual encounters, in particular in certain groups of men who have sex with men (MSM) ( 1).
