Euphoria, disinhibition and, for some, addiction… Highlighted by the Pierre Palmade affair but scrutinized for a long time by LGBT associations, chemsex consists of having sexual intercourse under the influence of psychoactive products. Boris (first name has been changed) is a former chemsexer. He agreed to testify for BFMTV.com. Philippe Batel, addictologist, sheds some light on us, and Jean-Luc Roméro-Michel testifies to the loss of her husband, who died of a coma following an evening of chemsex.
