Add content advisory. User reviews 8 Review. Top review. Interesting and valiant attempt to bring this issue to a wider audience. I know a few gay men who are into the scene of so called 'chemsex' and they have absolutely no issues with it what so ever.
This film highlights the stories of a number of gay men who have had extreme experiences whilst taking a variety of drugs in order to loosen inhibitions and thereby get more or have better and longer lasting sex. The stories to camera are often extremely moving as most of the men suffer with the dual addiction of the cravings for the drug and more importantly the feeling that they are having the best sex ever whilst intoxicated.
One man says 'if I have to spend the rest of my life sober then euthanize me now'. There in lies the rub. The problems come with the added risk of STI's via the sharing of needles and unprotected sex — especially with strangers in back rooms, saunas etc. There are scenes of actual sex in this film too and nudity. Now this also features the work of an outreach programme located at 56 Dean Street in London's Soho and its commendable work.
It is not the only programme though and there are a lot of people that can offer help. This could have been emphasised more in the film. Also it chose to tell the dark stories — we do not have anyone who is a recreational user and manages to get by having a fulfilled life etc which may have added balance.
We all get that 'drugs are bad umkay'. That said I am not condoning drug taking but I also do not want to denigrate a chosen life style if done in a safe and moderate way.
Ultimately this is an engaging film that does have its heart in the right place and if it can help prevent men from having such calamitous and life changing experiences then it is all for the good.
This is a good one to get for a rental — recommended. According to Rowntree, sites like Google and Bing bury legitimate -- as in, not pirated -- porn websites in their search results. Just like piracy is a huge issue for Hollywood, it's also a problem for the adult entertainment industry. When people don't pay for the content they're viewing, it's detrimental to everyone who put work into that content -- regardless of whether it's PG or X-rated.
BoodiGo blocks pirated porn from its results, so users can rest easy knowing that the stuff they're viewing is legal and virus-free. No, not that kind of virus. Additionally, these resources often limit their scope to men who have sex with men, ignoring the fact that other communities also engage in chemsex.
This toolkit and webinar provide harm reduction organizations and syringe services programs an overview of chemsex, including the communities impacted and the range of use; a description of the different substances being used, including their effects, what to expect when using, and how to stay safe; a summary of education to provide participants, the importance of peers, harm reduction strategies, and the role technology plays in chemsex.
