These drugs are being used by some gay and bi men for sex. G, meph and crystal make you horny - but these are the risks of taking them.
Gay men use drugs for a wide variety of reasons: peer pressure, feelings of shame around their sexuality, depression, or simply because they enjoy it or want to experiment.
Specific drugs can go in and out of fashion, and some carry more risks than others.
In recent years, gay and bi men have been turning to a particular ‘unholy trinity‘ of substances.
Crystal meth use has cut a swathe through LGBTI scenes as far apart as Sydney and Los Angeles. In the UK, the rise of chemsex parties and GHB-use has been linked to a rise in a number of drug-related overdoses and deaths.
Many men use these substances safely. Others become addicted and find their drug use out of control. Others suffer ill health or overdose, sometimes putting their lives at risk.
