187 – Sex, Drugs & Rock N Roll

Education, Health, Society & Culture

Trigger warning: This episode discusses themes relating to sexualised drug use.

In this episode, Tim Little delves into the complex and sensitive topic of “chemsex” with psychotherapist and chemsex therapist Stu Fenton. We explore what chemsex is, why people engage in it, and the differences between its prevalence in Australia and Europe. Stu shares insights from managing an LGBTIQA + rehab in Thailand, discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on chemsex practices, and compares harm reduction services in Berlin and Melbourne. We also touch on Stu’s recent research on chemsex among queer immigrants in Berlin and the unique challenges they face as well as an overview of support services available in Australia and the common reservations people have about joining groups like NA or AA.
