Abstract

: "Chemsex" involves the intake of a range of drugs (e.g., synthetic cathinones, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid/gamma-butyrolactone (GHB/GBL), ketamine, methamphetamine, "poppers", type V phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, MDMA/ecstasy, cocaine, cannabis, and occasionally a few other molecules as well, to enhance and prolong sexual experiences. This paper aims to provide an overview of the clinical pharmacology of the vast range of drugs that are being used for chemsex with a focus on both the medical and psychopathological disturbances that they can produce. : A narrative literature review was conducted using Pubmed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. A total of 273 papers published up to January 2025 were screened; articles were selected based on relevance to chemsex/sexualized used behaviour and related substances. Both human and preclinical studies were considered. : The use of stimulants is likely related to the need to increase as much as possible both sexual arousal and performance but also to increase social interactions. Furthermore, the empathogenic/entactogenic activities of some MDMA-like "love drugs" facilitate the occurrence of "feeling closer/more intimate" emotional sensations, and GHB/GBL may provide the user with a subjective sensation of disinhibition, hence facilitating condomless meetings with a higher number of random partners. Conversely, ketamine may be used to both enjoy its psychotropic dissociative characteristics and facilitate the potentially painful receptive anal intercourse and/or fisting experiences. Most typically, these drugs are consumed in combination, with polydrug exposure possibly facilitating the occurrence of serotonergic syndrome, seizures, drug-drug pharmacokinetics' interaction, and sympathomimetic overstimulation. Following these polydrug exposures, a range of psychopathological conditions have at times been reported. These issues may lead to misuse of opiates/opioids, gabapentinoids, and/or antipsychotics. : Further actions should aim at reducing the stigma that prevents individuals from accessing necessary healthcare and support services. A multidisciplinary approach that combines medical, psychological, and social support remains key to managing the complex challenges posed by chemsex-related drug use.

摘要

“化学性爱”涉及服用一系列药物(如合成卡西酮、γ-羟基丁酸/γ-丁内酯(GHB/GBL)、氯胺酮、甲基苯丙胺、“Poppers”、V型磷酸二酯酶(PDE)抑制剂、摇头丸/迷魂药、可卡因、大麻,偶尔还包括其他一些分子),以增强和延长性体验。本文旨在概述用于“化学性爱”的各类药物的临床药理学,重点关注它们可能产生的医学和精神病理学紊乱。:使用PubMed、Scopus和Web of Science数据库进行了叙述性文献综述。筛选了截至2025年1月发表的共273篇论文;根据与“化学性爱”/性化使用行为及相关物质的相关性选择文章。同时考虑了人体和临床前研究。:使用兴奋剂可能与尽可能增加性唤起和性表现的需求有关,也与增加社交互动有关。此外,一些类似摇头丸的“爱情药物”的共情/致幻活性促进了“感觉更亲近/更亲密”的情感感受的出现,而GHB/GBL可能会给使用者带来一种去抑制的主观感觉,从而便于与更多随机伴侣进行无保护措施的会面。相反,氯胺酮可能被用于既享受其精神分裂性解离特征,又便于进行可能痛苦的接受性肛交和/或拳交体验。最常见的是,这些药物会联合使用,多药联用可能会促进血清素综合征、癫痫发作、药物-药物药代动力学相互作用以及拟交感神经刺激过度的发生。在这些多药联用之后,有时会报告一系列精神病理状况。这些问题可能导致对阿片类药物、加巴喷丁类药物和/或抗精神病药物的滥用。:进一步的行动应旨在减少阻碍个人获得必要医疗保健和支持服务的污名化现象。将医疗、心理和社会支持相结合的多学科方法仍然是应对“化学性爱”相关药物使用带来的复杂挑战的关键。
