what’s with this trend of gays getting into chemsex? gurl… calling crystal meth ‘T’ doesn’t make it cute — your teeth falling out is just the beginning. meth addiction isn’t glamorous, it’s dangerous.

I think the more helpful framing is what function does methamphetamine serve in the gay community? In particular, to an already marginalised subsection of the community?

Amphetamine based substances at that level do an interesting number of things to a person.

Methamphetamine in particular reduces inhibition and dampens emotional responses. This means feelings of shame, guilt are really shut down by the substance while the increased libido and decrease inhibition enables people to engage in the further reaches of sexual adventure.

I don’t really know if much hand holding is needed past that point. Many gay men experience internalised homophobia, feelings rejection socially including from their own community, difficulties with body standards and beauty expectations and an already damaged sense of attachment and sense of self.

There’s a clear reason why gay men in particular turn to using meth in a chemsex environment.

These men are vulnerable people who deserve to be heard and understood and not further marginalised.

“But longing is momentum in disguise: It’s active, not passive; touched with the creative, the tender, and the divine. We long for something, or someone. We reach for it, move toward it. The word longing derives from the Old English langian, meaning ‘to grow long,’ and the German langen—to reach, to extend. The word yearning is linguistically associated with hunger and thirst, but also desire. In Hebrew, it comes from the same root as the word for passion. The place you suffer, in other words, is the same place you care profoundly—care enough to act.”

— Susan Cain, from Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole (Crown, 2022)
