Description
Amanda Wilson and Iain Williamson study drug-fueled sex among men outside the big-city scene, in this 2024 mixed-methods study. Most chemsex research sits in large cities with deep support networks. Their survey and interviews come from the English Midlands, a region without that infrastructure. One hundred twenty-three men answered the survey, and three gave long interviews.
Most respondents reported riskier sex during sessions, and a third no longer enjoyed sober sex. The interviewed men cast themselves as careful, considerate users and disliked the chemsex label itself. The authors urge services to reframe how they talk about the practice.
