Why London is Considered the Chemsex Capital of Europe

The Chemsex Scene

According to information collated by The Global Drugs Survey, London has recently been hailed as the ‘chemsex capital’ of Europe.

The report further found that young Brits are most likely to engage in chemsex in London out of all the cities in Europe, Canada, Australia, and even the US.

Rehab Guide feels it is important to highlight the dangers of combining drugs and sex, as it is rarely discussed within the public domain. Chemsex is a topic that we cannot afford to ignore. As British people, we are often conditioned not to speak openly about sex and drugs, making chemsex an especially taboo subject. This is compounded by its association with the gay community, driving it underground.

In London, a chemsex party can be accessed at any time of day or night – thanks to today’s advancements in networking technology. With a click of a button or a swipe of a picture, a chemsex hookup can be arranged within minutes.

You may wonder why it is seen as a growing problem between two consenting adults; is it just a bit of harmless fun? The reality is that it is anything but harmless, as it can carry severe consequences, and for the minority that becomes addicted to it, it can be life-threatening.
