In recent years, chemsex has become more visible within parts of the queer community. Chemsex–the use of drugs to enhance or facilitate sexual experiences is a part of many queer people’s lives–from enhancing pleasure and sexual endurance to helping us survive and cope.
But let’s be real–chemsex can be a difficult thing to talk about. You or someone you may know struggles with addiction. You may have had loved ones die. You may have had a situation where you were pressured or forced to use a substance you didn’t want.
However, chemsex isn’t only harmful. It can–and is–a practice that can be enjoyable. That’s where harm reduction comes in.
As described by National Harm Reduction Coalition, it is “a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with drug use.” Harm reduction isn’t about encouraging drug use or ignoring the very real harms that can accompany drug use. It’s about offering people practical, accurate information so they can make the best choices for themselves. That’s the same way we discuss sexual health–think using doxyPEP and PrEP but not condoms to prevent HIV and STIs.
Let’s be clear: your safety and well-being matter. With access to accurate information, safer use supplies (like sterile syringes and naloxone), and support, chemsex can be made safer. However, it can become harmful when it leads to a loss of control or impacts your daily life in negative ways. It’s not about the specific drugs–it’s about how someone feels and functions in relation to their use.
The desire for sexual exploration is real—and valid. But just as we make informed choices with our partners, we can also make informed choices around substances. Harm reduction is about giving yourself the tools to stay safer, not judging how you play.
If you or your friends are having chemsex, here’s some quick tips:
Get familiar with your drugs: Know what you’re taking, the dosage, and interactions with other substances. Regardless if you’re taking meth or MDMA, test every drug, every time you use it. The most common test strips are for fentanyl and xylazine while other drugs (like MDMA) have reagent kits. This way, you’ll know if your drugs are cut with a substance that could cause an overdose and plan accordingly.
Plan ahead for emergencies: Even when prioritizing your pleasure, having a safety plan in mind for when things do go wrong will help you stay confident. Learn how to use naloxone to reverse an overdose, find out what to do when someone is overamping (a stimulant overdose), and make sure to have a sober spotter in larger groups who can help manage any issues as they come up. AIDS United has a chemsex guide for groups with tips on how to prepare ahead of time.
Access support. You deserve to feel good about your sex life. Drugs can make us open to new experiences. Sometimes we say yes in the moment and later feel shame or regret. Take time to think about what felt okay, what didn’t, and what you’d want to do differently next time. If chemsex begins to provide more distress than pleasure, organizations like Controlling Chemsex provide support for people who are struggling with their use, including if you want to stop using altogether.
Get consent every single time: Consent applies to having sex, what drugs you use and how much, and taking photos or videos of a session. If someone is incapacitated and cannot say no even if they want to, and someone has sex with them–that is assault.
Reduce stigma online. If you’re looking for enhanced fun, it can be hard to share that easily online. Some dating apps have places where people can indicate their use or disinterest in chemsex. And if you’re not interested? You can just say that you aren’t and keep looking.
Don’t forget your sexual health: Chemsex is about drug use during sex after all. Get tested for HIV and STI every 3 to 6 months. You also might be able to order a free home test. Check out this global list of clinics and home testing programs. Consider using condoms, and/or starting PrEP (if you’re HIV-negative) or doxyPEP to prevent HIV and STIs.
Shame and stigma keep the chemsex conversation in the closet, meaning more people won’t be prepared or seek help when they need it most. Whether you’re having chemsex, looking to step away from it, or know someone who is, we all have a stake in amplifying this lifesaving information.

Squirt.org member phil9325, our certified travelling slut, is our regular kink festival goer. So far, he has taken us to Darklands 2025, together with other fetish events, including Folsom in gay San Francisco. Let’s get ourselves ready to venture to Berlin for a weekend full of fetish at Easter Berlin.
Willkommen! I am back in one piece after a whole weekend in gay Berlin for their fetish festivalEaster Berlin! I can say that I have survived one of the craziest parties and events I have ever attended, so get ready to read all about it.
I have already taken you to Berlin many times, so if you want to learn more about where to stay and things to do, you can check my journal review of Berlin.
Learn some German words, stretch your hole, put on your boots, and get ready to explore the weekend that is Easter Berlin.
What is Easter Berlin?
Being one of the kinkiest cities in the world, Berlin is not short of events were you can embrace your full inner slut. The two main events that take place are Easter Berlin and Folsom Berlin. If you ask around, most leather daddies will agree that Easter Berlin is kinkier and gayer as it is not as “famous” as San Fran Folsom, so you get to connect with kinkier gays.
That said, the event’s name tells you when this takes place. This year, the Easter Berlin ran from April 17 to April 21.
Unlike Dore Alley in San Francisco, Easter Berlin has events throughout the city and a tiny fair that runs all weekend rather than a full fair on Sunday that extends for blocks around the gayborhood.
When you arrive, you may wonder where to find all of the action or how to meet others. The best bet is to head down to Schöneberg and explore the fair and the kink stores around it.
What events should I plan to attend during Easter Berlin?
I arrived in Berlin on Thursday and left on Tuesday, so I got a decent taste of the weekend events.
From dance parties to sex parties, Easter Berlin offers it all. One thing to consider is that these events put a sticker over your camera, so you cannot take pictures or videos. You will need to use your imagination for what I tell you.
Naked Night at Lab.oratory
Thursday has one of the best activities to get you started, naked night at Lab.oratory. I have told you about Lab before here, but this night is way different for Easter Berlin.
Unlike a regular night at Lab, when the doors open for two hours and close if they reach capacity before that, Easter Berlin Naked Night has five times the capacity. The doors stay open all night, so you can go anytime before closing (which tends to be around 9:00 AM).
Since it is Berlin, you need to be prepared to wait in line, but I can assure you, it is worth it.
Once you get in, be ready to be patted down and searched. From here, you will head upstairs to the coat-check area, where it is mandatory to be fully naked.
Once you are ready to explore, head to the basement and enter the maze that is Lab. If you have been here before, Lab opens two extra areas for this, giving you endless possibilities to play. There is also a dancefloor if your vibe is to just shake your ass and cock to some techno.
I decided to venture to the new areas and wasted no time on getting my dick sucked by some hungry sub bottoms (and yes, I am entering my top era now). Lab’s “jungle” area offered dark corners and lots of gay sex slings. It was a great space to get started with some hungry bottoms ready to take some cock.
I may have been jet-lagged that day, but I made my travels worth it by staying until 6:00 AM and playing with at least 20 dudes that night. Be sure not to go too hard on your first day, as you need to survive the whole weekend.
Friday night at Revolver
For Friday, you should rest during the day and get your hole and cock ready for Revolver at Club Ost.
Before heading here, however, I was lucky enough to be invited to a 40+ person orgy (which was filmed so you may see me in a video somewhere); this was a great way to get my hornyness started and to have a group of males to venture to this party with; nothing makes friends like opening your hole!
Unlike events at Lab, you must get tickets for Revolver, which prevents you from waiting in line for hours. Regardless of this, be prepared to wait for the dreaded coat-check. And yes, as always, this is a nightmare but you have to wear a slutty outfit with our ass out if you want to have fun.
Club Ost offers three levels of fun! The first level is a bar and dance floor with one of the craziest lights I have ever experienced. Even if you are not drinking or doing drugs, these lights will leave you feeling high and disoriented, so be ready for the experience they provide with the music.
If you feel horny, the second floor offers a smaller dancefloor and a darkroom full of cages so you have something to grab when getting railed. I didn’t play much in this area as it was too small, but I did manage to get a few loads at the beginning of the night.
Now, your best bet here is the third floor. A whole floor dedicated to sex! There are tons of fuck benches, slings and couches for you to fuck all night until the sun comes up.
I spent most of my night here taking and giving cocks. I honestly didn’t keep count of how many guys I played with but it was A LOT! Be sure to explore the different areas as the men are exponentially hot and hung everywhere and you don’t want to miss out on good dick!
What about Snax? The infamous gay sex party
If there is a primary reason I attended Easter Berlin, it was for the famous Snax party.
If you have ever wanted to get into Berghain, this is the time to do so. Snax takes place twice a year (for Easter Berlin and in November) and it is when Berghain and Lab connect inside and allow only men in for 18 hours of non-stop partying and sex.
For Easter, Snax is themed as a gear/leather party, so you must wear enough gear to be let in (a harness won’t cut it, so make sure to gear up).
As you can see, my friend got turned around for not having enough leather, and you don’t want to make it to Berlin to not get into this event.
Like my experience at Naked Night, you must arrive a few hours before they open and wait a long time in line, but trust me, it is worth it.
My group and I arrived at 8:00 PM and did not arrive until 1:00 AM, so be sure to bring water, snacks, and anything else you may need. Also, do not jump the line as security is everywhere, and if you get caught, you will be sent to the back.
At the back of the line, a few blocks from the entrance!
Once you are in, get ready to let loose and enjoy one of the craziest experiences of your life. First, tour the venue and take it all in, as it can be overstimulating. I was surprised by the space and lights, but I got accustomed to the place after a while.
Another thing to note is that people may be using different substances, so be sure to be OK with their behaviour and not to shame others for their use of drugs or alcohol. Everyone is there for the same reasons as you, to have a great time and experience, and to experience as many cocks as possible.
My recommendation is to spend a bit of time in each area either dancing or fucking! The lobby where Lab and Beghain connect is probably where I spent the most time, as you have tons of slings and a bar, and the music is not as loud, so you can hear all of the bottoms moaning. Find yourself a fuckbuddy and get that hole open and loaded.
I think I was on a sling and fuck bench for most of the night taking fists and loads.
After 8 hours at the venue, I decided it was finally time to experience the Berghain dancefloor, which is already quite an experience—mayhem, you could say.
Be sure to bring earplugs because I have never been to a place where the music is that loud, but it is part of the whole experience, mixed with the lights and sexy men in gear. Be prepared to be sandwiched between other people and not to move. It is also a great space just to put your dick in some hungry bottom or to meet other gays who want to play to the dungeon area next to the dancefloor.
I met some Chicago gays who were horny as hell so we made a group orgy on the dancefloor and then took the kinkier ones to the sling section for some extra fun.
Once you decide to leave, wear sunglasses because the sun will be on your face that Sunday afternoon, and birds will sing in your ear.
And what other things can I do for the rest of the weekend?
If you survived Snax and are still horny for more, I would recommend you check out the bathhouse Boiler! It is a fantastic place that guarantees you will get fucked and loaded by sexy Germans and tourists alike.
Now, if you still want to take part in the Easter Berlin celebrations, then you must check out the leather social on Sunday and Monday night at Prinzknecht—a leather bar for men only! This is the place to socialize and drink beer! If you also have an itch to scratch, the whole basement of this place is a massive dark room, so you best believe I got my last few loads here before heading back home!
One big reminder for all of these events is cash! Most Berlin events and bars do not take cards, so come prepared!
Remember to Stay Protected
Before any slutty trip, please get tested to keep others safe and not to be a superspreader. Keep that PreP and Doxy PeP prescription up to date and be safe!
Should I plan to attend Easter Berlin?
You must experience a weekend festival at least once, especially Snax! I think I can say that I will measure events from now on, such as before and after Snax! It is hard to explain what happens inside Berghain/Lab, but take my word that it will make you party and enjoy public sex differently!
Until my next kinky event, and from some sex party near you!
BEL AMI: The promise is for a quick blowjob only, but instead Jamie knows Ashton only too well, and the blowjob lasts only moments before he delves right on into Ashton’s asshole, making it slick and ready for the moment he knows Ashton will be begging him to stick his cock in it. Jamie’s rimming has gotten Ashton so worked up that it only takes a couple of strokes before Ashton blows his load in a giant cum fountain.
This is one very high-energy, intense and sweaty fuckfest with Jamie as the catalyst for every higher and higher states of ecstasy. As all of Jamie’s performances turn out this way recently, we are thinking of keeping him on full time to provide every new guy with the Jamie treatment at least once during his time with us.
Hi! I’m Dallas Knoxxx, your go-to guy for all things wild and straight-up real.
I’m 27, reside in West Hollywood, and get to live out my sexual fantasies every day. I’ve starred in a studio scene (go check it out) and have an OnlyFans (I’m also on Twitter!) I’m constantly posting and spending nights cruising and hooking up in the city of angels.
I’m also obsessed with feeling hot and sexy in a pair of naughty knickers, so if you’re one of the people who loved my best gay jockstraps to wear article, you’ll love it as I dig deep into the philosophical question that has haunted humankind for eons: boxers or briefs??
Choosing a pair of underwear can be tricky if you’re like me. We wear certain fabrics, styles, or brands; everyone is different. Underwear choices intersect with varying criteria like fashion, body image, and sexuality.
We will get into it all, but first, we gotta understand how we got here.
What’s better or more affordable? How does gay culture play a role in shaping and popularizing sexier, more body-conscious underwear? Let’s jump right in.
A brief history of briefs, underwear, and boxer shorts
First, it’s essential to understand why we have what we have today. Boxer shorts were invented in the 1920s for boxers (like fighters) by Jacob Golomb, founder of Everlast, the brand that makes punching bags and stuff.
These boxer shorts were designed to help athletes have more mobility in their legs with less restriction; about fifteen years later came the brief, which came about from Arthur Kneibler, founder of Jockey. After Kneibler saw a swimsuit ad, he created underwear and an underwear design that mimicked the form-fitting shape of what we now know as briefs.
The design at the time was revolutionary. Compared to boxers, briefs added more support and versatility, and soon, brands like Jockey, Hanes, and Fruit of the Loom dominated the market.
How do I choose boxers or briefs for myself?
Boxers or briefs are a personal preference. Nonetheless, there is a lot of influence in everyday life around you to like certain brands and types of underwear, especially in the gay community. Don’t you remember being a kid in Boscov’s, aimlessly wandering down the men’s underwear aisle while your mom wondered where you went?
I started as a boxer girl simply because it was affordable and comfortable. Being a bigger kid, the boxer was more agreeable with my body image. As time passed and I got older and a little skinnier, I started moving on to tighter, more form-fitting underwear, mainly for the look and popularity in my culture.
Whether you realize it or not, celebrity endorsement ads have greatly impacted me, which opened me up to the world of underwear. The first one that comes to mind is Justin Bieber with Calvin Klein. I think the ads were definitely for the girls and the gays, and underwear endorsements are a great way to suck gays into buying with a hot bod, and the women who may be buying for their husbands with some eye candy for themselves.
After briefs held in court for several years, they found a way to conquer the space by using celebrities in their prime to endorse their products, and that’s just what happened. Every other gay boy and I went out and bought the tight, soft, and popular underwear everyone was wearing and sporting in their everyday photos.
Your sexuality also plays a massive role in the types of underwear you like. In the past, for the straight community, men typically go for the loose-fitting look—not because they don’t care, but because they aren’t concerned if their ass looks good in their undies.
The gay community, on the other hand, fixates on whether or not it’s showing what it needs to show. Gays are very sex-forward, and being able to give imprints and ass while feeling confident in your underwear is a must.
Nowadays, from some casual polling I’ve conducted, I’ve noticed that sexuality is finding its way out of the equation. Men of any orientation are starting to gear more towards a tight, form-fitting pair of underwear versus a loose, flappy boxer. However, it still depends on the type of guy. In the early 90s, numerous health magazines and news outlets reported that tight underwear causes fertility issues or a lower sperm count, and that certainly got some procreation-focused men’s attention.
As a result, tight and form-fitting underwear quickly became less popular, and boxers started making a comeback thanks to the popular brand Ralph Lauren creating an ad that showcased a male model stripping down to his white boxers in a laundromat, sending the gays on a craze.
While boxers once reigned supreme for their comfort and loose fit, recent years have shown a noticeable decline in popularity. What was once considered the go-to choice for men seeking breathability and simplicity has become less favorable, especially among younger generations and fashion-conscious individuals.
Why the shift from boxers to briefs again?
As clothing has become slimmer and more tailored, loose-fitting boxers can bunch up, ride awkwardly, and create visible lines. Form-fitting underwear like briefs, trunks, and boxer briefs offers a smoother silhouette that complements modern fashion trends.
Another reason for the decline is aesthetic appeal. Boxers often lack the intentional design and structure found in other styles. In an era where self-expression and sex appeal are front and center, particularly within queer spaces, boxers can feel outdated or overly conservative.
Social media, thirst traps, and influencer culture have helped glamorize more revealing and body-conscious options. Let’s be honest—when was the last time you saw someone in a Calvin Klein ad rocking a pair of classic plaid boxers?
Even comfort, boxers’ most significant selling point, is being challenged. New fabric technologies are used in snugger styles that still offer breathability without sacrificing support or fit.
As a result, boxers are starting to feel like a relic of a time when fashion and underwear lived in separate lanes.
That’s not to say boxers are obsolete, but they’ve lost their mainstream grip. Today, they live more in nostalgia, sleepwear, or a specific kind of retro vibe.
For the everyday look, most people are reaching for something a little tighter, a little sexier, and a lot more curated.
It will be awesome to see where we are going with undergarments in the future. Briefs have created many different styles and categories, like jockstraps or g-strings. We used to be unable to customize our underwear style, and now we have mesh, silk, cotton, and many more fabrics to choose from that fit us personally.
In past years, underwear was always based on functionality before style, and now we are moving on to an era that highlights style and fashion rather than versatility and functionality.
Wouldn’t it be easier to go commando most of the time? Confidence in underwear has also increased over the years due to ad campaigns that highlight plus-size models.
In the end, underwear has evolved far beyond its original purpose. What once started as a simple necessity reflects identity, confidence, and cultural expression. Whether it’s the classic cotton boxer, the sleek brief, or something more daring like a mesh thong or jockstrap, our choices are tied to how we see ourselves and want to be seen.
As conversations around gender, sexuality, and body image continue to evolve, so does the way we approach the most personal layer of clothing we wear. It’s not just about support or breathability—it’s about empowerment, comfort, and individual expression.
So, whether you choose briefs for how they hug your body or boxers for their easygoing freedom, wear what makes you feel good. Try new styles, challenge old habits, and don’t be afraid to treat underwear like the fashion statement it truly is. What’s underneath counts—and it’s for you, not anyone else.
I want to hear what you prefer, too! In the comments, let me know if you would rather wear commando, boxers, or briefs.
