A Paris psychiatrist publishes a book about chemsex. Dr. Jean-Victor Blanc works at Saint-Antoine Hospital and teaches at the Sorbonne.

Blanc leads one of few clinics specializing in chemsex. On April 3, his book 'Chemical Loves, the Chemsex Plague' appears at Seuil publisher.

In his essay, the doctor combines clinical experience with research. He analyzes why chemsex appeals to certain groups. He also examines social causes behind this phenomenon.

Chemsex means using drugs during sexual activities. It mainly involves stimulants like crystal meth and GHB. This behavior occurs mainly in certain gay and bisexual male communities.

The doctor warns about serious health risks. Addictions, infections and mental problems are possible consequences. Blanc calls for more attention and better support services.

His research shows chemsex is not simply a moral problem. It connects with loneliness, sexuality and social pressure. A holistic approach is therefore necessary.
