"Crystal Meth" New Drug Of Choice On Gay Party Circuit
NARTH ^ | August 31, 2004

Posted on 09/16/2004 12:22:46 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

A longtime member of the New York Gay Men's Chorus, Bobby Darnell, nearly became a casualty of the crystal methamphetamine drug scene...

Darnell began using crystal meth in casual sexual encounters and began searching the Internet for sexual liaisons. References on the Internet to "PNP" parties (shorthand for "party and play" - meaning sex and drugs) helps drug-addicted gay men find sex parties. Darnell was eventually hospitalized for his growing addicytion but later stopped using the drug.

The use of crystal meth to enhance sexual experiences has spread rapidly among gay parties---especially during the past three to four years.

A March, 2004 edition of the Atlanta Journal Constitution provides more details on the spread of crystal methamphetamine use among gays. The drug has increased HIV-infection among homosexual men.

No. I understand that and why you posted the article. But the gay community has know about this addiction for a long time. A gay acquaintance of mine would tell stories of crystal parties and 'queens' from over five years ago in Chicgao. Even the lib-lovefest show Queer As Folk did a storyline about a character who became a crystal queen.

As silly as it sounds, it is a subculture within the gay culture, just as 'conversion' parties are, where gay men have sex with several HIV positive men in hopes of actually contracting the disease. I am not making this up.

Do any of us really care if they do harmful things to themselves?

No, not so "highly" evolved if they are taking their cultural cues from rural America. Heck, if I remember right, the kids who killed Matthew Shepherd were abusers of this stuff.

Had a woman in line ahead of me in the drugstore last weeken who was trying to buy 10 bottles of cold medicine. They told her she could buy 2 and she was irate. Came up with some story of buying it for several families with sick kids. I have the same bottle for about 10 years. When she left PO'd, I said to the clerk "meth" and she said "Yep".
The woman looked like the 98 picture above. Soon, she'll look like the 2002 picture.

I've always figured that the more people that are messed up on drugs, the fewer people that I, or my college age kids, have to compete with for jobs.

Don't think it prolongs orgasm. Just cranks up the sex drive and makes you to keep going. Tweakers tend to get fixated on things.

Yeah....just a normal bunch of fun loving people.....but in all honesty this kind of hedonistic life style isn't limited to homosexuals....I'm sad to say I know people who are straight and go to "events" like these.

The girl I spoke to was claiming that about ecstasy.
The meth.. wouldn't know a thing about it.
And.. why would anyone want to do that?

I once saw a expose (pardon the use of the word) about these "conversion" parties.

These poor, disturbed, pathetic creatures actually did seek out HIV positive men with whom to have an encounter.

The HIV positive men who were sought after were said to have "the gift".

I got the sense they wanted to become martyrs for the cause of homosexuality and AIDS. Sad, very sad.

Hell,I go back a lot further than THAT!Used to walk around Haight Street in SF in 1967 and you knew right away who the "speed freaks"were-scrawny white kids pulling on their dirty hair while swilling the telltale quart of CHOCOLATE MILK and asking for"spare change"

The worst part about the rave scene in those days was being around all the people on really hard drugs. You don't know how many people I saw with their eyes bugging out of their heads, "rolling" on Extacy, just wanting random people to touch them! "YO MAN GIVE ME A BACKRUB!" Sheesh, get out of my face weirdo! You'd see like 6 kids all sitting around in a circle just... TOUCHING each other all over, it was really weird. All the best parties were totally illegal and it was a drug free-for-all, for the most part. Total open-air drug markets, people buying selling and taking any number of pills and powders.

I always went to parties with people who weren't sticking coke and crystal up their noses, or popping pills. We weren't raver kids, we were the odd crew, the only long-haired rock & roll kids there, with joints stuffed in our socks and vodka in our water bottles. Yes, probably not the wisest thing to do, but hey I was like 16, 17 at that point and I wasn't too smart.

After a few years the whole "rave" scene got really commercialized and they started having parties at clubs, with security, wierdo Italian mafiosa wannabe kids with perfume and tons of gold chains, and tons of other stupid kids. It just wasn't the same after that. I don't even think people still have raves anymore. I haven't been to one since probably 1999.

I don't miss being around all of those drugs, but I had a lot of fun in those days.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - More on the wonders and alternative lifestyle, and cultural and sexual diversity.

Funny about the more people chase meaningless pleasure, the less it pleases, and the more vicious and perverted the "pleasure" has to get to give a thrill.

The happier a person is inside, the less stimulation they need from the outside, and simple pleasures are sufficient. Just watching a sunset with (for instance, mrs. lj) or going for a walk and seeing the mountains is pleasure enough when there's happiness within.

Let me and Scripter know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

The drug has increased HIV-infection among homosexual men.

HUH? Someone please explain. Maybe the drug has caused them to lose their minds enough so they're not wearing any condoms but ........ how can the drug cause HIV infection in and of itself????!!!!!!

"Yep, Bush securing $15 billion in funding to combat AIDS/HIV in 2003!!! Bush just doesn't care, does he!"

Do you know of a website that discusses funding for AIDS, and America's foreign aid, etc? I need to win an argument with someone from the Blame-America-First Crowd.

I thought PNP was "plug and play" -- it works here as well.

Oh geez....... just lost my Pepsi all over the keyboard. I don't want to think about that one too much :-).

Probably because the amount of real happiness in these people's lives is so scarce.

Dunno what Meth would do, haven't heard any rumors or hearsay about meth use during sex.

I’ve heard them claim that it produces a “rush” that heightens the experience. Plus, using it alters your ability to make rational decisions. But it does so much more. If you’re a male it eventually leads to erectile dysfunction. And, since there are many ways to take it – smoke, snort, inject, there are other problems (besides the “regular” kidney/liver/heart stuff).

Two ways that are popular are snorting it and injecting it (using a syringe without a needle) into the anus.

For whatever reason, snorting it can lead to sores in the nose, throat and mouth, and injecting it in your butt can lead to sores in there too. Those sores are supposed to be nifty ways of contracting HIV. [Evidently, if you shoot meth-solution up your butt your intestine will absorb it.]

That’s what I learned from scanning around through different radio stations in the early morning hours a year or so ago… they were broadcasting some homo show out of Berkeley or somewhere and were talking about it.

Sounds like exciting stuff, but I think I'm gonna have to pass.
