This workshop provides an introduction to the term of Chemsex and the impact that terms means. The workshop looks at the content and the culture around the use of drugs during sexual activity mostly between same sex couples. The workshop also explores the types of drugs used and the physical and psychological impact they can have and how individuals can reduce the risk to themselves and others.
