15. “A Rush of Blood To The Head” – Chemsex Part II

Take a whiff of our second chemsex show

Chemsex isn’t all about Tina, Ice, and Meth… we use other drugs when we’re having sex, so with inhalants being in the news at the moment – why not unpack how amyl or poppers play a role in the sex we have.

Are they a mainstay, or do they give you a pounding headach, or do you just use them to cure cyanide poisoning?… probably not that last one, and we wouldn’t recommend it, but that’s all part of this week’s show.

How’s your (video) head?

Our VHS heads will be SPOTLESS by the end of this ep, as we join forces with thew lovely Steve Spencer, gay activist and all round poppers fiend to talk about the impending possibility of poppers being ripped from our sex stores and made illegal.

Pure Gold!

If you caught the previous Chemsex podcast you might have heard Stu talk about his experience with psychosis during his chemsex days – which didn’t make it to air on JOY. We unpack that conversation a little more, and also take a listen to Findlay’s* story – as told through the Touchbase series Be-Longing For It, which uses personal narratives of queer men’s chemsex use and pairs them with auditory accompaniment and striking visual animation.

DOWN-LOAD

Of course, no Hide and Seek episode is complete without the DOWN-LOAD… We found some choice curated content this week, a somewhat hypnotic almost other worldly amyl sniffing instructional activity porno. It was a bit pwerplexing, but sort of in a hot way? Head to out tumblr for the video before you catch our review.

We somehow managed to cycle back to Paul Rudd in Halloween again, but we pull a few pieces out of the news to chat about this week. Bisexual polyamorous flying fox orgies, and sucking dick so hard you end up in the ER.
