If we don't understand what motivates people to engage in chemsex, then it's really hard to work with them to reduce the harms associated with it and to identify when it's becoming problematic.
Ever heard of chemsex and wondered what it's all about? This episode of 'What's the Crack' is here to fill in the gaps. Host Elle Wadsworth teams up with Dr. Adam Bourne from La Trobe University in Melbourne to dive deep into this intriguing and often misunderstood topic. Chemsex, a term combining 'chemical' and 'sex', refers to the use of drugs to enhance sexual experiences, primarily within the MSM (men who have sex with men) community.
But what drugs are involved? How widespread is this practice? And why is Elsa from Frozen mentioned in this context? Elle and Dr. Bourne tackle these questions and more, offering insights into the motivations behind chemsex and the associated risks. Dr. Bourne's research provides a window into the lives of those who engage in chemsex, shedding light on their reasons and the potential harms. They also discuss alternative support systems for managing drug use, aiming to reduce these risks.
If you're curious about addiction, drug use, or just want to understand more about chemsex, this episode is a must-listen.
