3.8.4 Private sex parties and drug use The following graph shows how recently different groups of men had attended a private sex party. FIGURE 3.6 Cumulative recency of attending sex party in private home by use of different drugs in last 4 weeks 100 90 Cumulative % 80 70 60 50 40 30 Crystal meth GHB/GBL Ketamine Mephedrone 20 10 None of these 0 24 hr 7 day 4 wks 6 mth 12 mth 5 yrs ever Within this time period Men who had used crystal meth in the last four weeks were most likely to have been to a private sex party, with 21% having attended one in the past week and 46% in the last four weeks. This compares with 2% and 7% respectively among men who had not used these drugs. These data suggest that crystal meth in particular in associated with sex at private house parties. However, crystal meth users were more likely to have recently used gay cafes, bars and pubs than they were to have attended a private sex party. The Chemsex Study | 3.
