It said more than one in four of the men surveyed reported being sexually assaulted after taking the drug, which rose in popularity on the gay club scene at the turn of the century. The documentary was partly based on a survey of 2,700 gay and bisexual men in Britain conducted earlier this year. LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A popular party drug is being used to rape comatose gay and bisexual men at “chemsex” parties, their assaults then streamed online, according to a British documentary that airs on Sunday.Ī joint investigation by BuzzFeed News and Channel 4 Dispatches found that GHB, a drug used to heighten sexual pleasure, is regularly used to “sexually assault gay men” with footage of the rape broadcast live on the dark web.
