What is chemsex?

Chemsex is the practice of using drugs to enhance and extend sexual experiences. As journalist Christo Casos explains, it involves taking substances specifically to prolong pleasure and maintain excitement during longer sexual sessions. While often associated with certain communities, Casos points out that chemsex 'doesn't only happen with gay men' but is a broader phenomenon. The practice centers on using drugs to modify sexual experiences, allowing for extended periods of pleasure and heightened excitement during intimate encounters.
