Resumen

El chemsex es un fenómeno en el que la práctica del sexo, fundamentalmente entre hombres, se asocia el consumo de drogas.

La trilogía de drogas conocidas como las más frecuentes en estos casos son la metanfetamina, mefedrona y GHB/GBL, aunque más recientemente la introducción de las nuevas drogas psicoactivas puede que haya cambiado el patrón de consumo, desconociéndose tanto la dimensión como si su práctica es también frecuente fuera de la comunidad antes referida.

Aunque esta revisión presenta un enfoque toxicológico del chemsex, problemas relacionados como las enfermedades de transmisión sexual o los problemas de salud mental tienen un papel muy relevante e implican la comprensión holística de este fenómeno. Las medidas a tomar deben abordar el problema y sus consecuencias.

Abstract

Chemsex is a phenomenon in which the consumption of drugs is associated with the practice of sex, mainly among men who have sex with men (MSM).

Methamphetamine, mephedrone and GHB/GBL are the most commonly abused drugs in “sex parties”. However, the recent introduction of new psychoactive substances may have changed the pattern of consumption. The severity of this problem, as well as the frequency of this pattern of consumption in communities other than the above mentioned, remain unknown.

Although this review presents a toxicological approach to chemsex, sexually transmitted diseases or mental health problems as a result of chemsex play a key role in the holistic understanding of this phenomenon and appropriate actions must be taken to address the problem and its consequences.
