Chemsex: Addicted To The Craze!

One of Britain’s leading medical experts on “chemsex” – the use of illegal drugs during sex – has called for a broader NHS response to the phenomenon after a survey found high levels of risky behaviour among HIV-positive users in London.

David Stuart, who runs a chemsex support service at Europe’s busiest sexual health clinic, 56 Dean Street in London, said the response to the trend should not be “skewed by stigma, shame and moral judgments” as in the Aids epidemic in the 1980s...

With respect, it's hard to think of anyone but David 'Chicken Licken' Stuart more likely to resort to “stigma, shame and moral judgments” about chemsex.

PS 'Two of the men became addicted to the craze...' LOL!

This has to be one of the most lunatic episodes of media hysteria of recent times.

Well, at least since their 'Putin = Hitler' and 'VIP Paedophile Ring' fantasies.

I give up.

Sex Panic: Won't Somebody Please Think Of The Children?!

Societies appear to be subject, every now and then, to periods of moral panic. A condition, episode, person or a group of persons emerges to become defined as a threat to societal values and interests; its nature is presented in a stylized and stereotypical fashion by the mass media; the moral barricades are manned by editors, bishops, politicians and other right-thinking people; socially accredited experts pronounce their diagnoses and solutions; ways of coping are evolved or (more often) resorted to; the condition then disappears, submerges or deteriorates and becomes more visible. Sometimes the object of the panics is quite novel and at other times it is something which has been in existence long enough, but suddenly appears in the limelight. Sometimes the panic passes over and is forgotten, except in folklore and collective memory; at other times it has more serious and long-lasting repercussions and might produce such changes as those in legal and social policy or even in the way the society conceives itself...

Thanks.
