- The incident happened in the town of Castel del Piano, a tourist destination in Tuscany.
- The man and his wife took MDMA there to improve their sexual performance.
- Victim of a septic shock that caused the cells of his penis and scrotum to die, the man risks having his penis amputated.
According to the newspaper La Repubblica, a man risks having his penis amputated after having “a 24-hour sex marathon” fueled by hard drugs.
Septic shock
Victim of septic shock that caused the cells of his penis and scrotum to die, this 50-year-old German tourist was admitted to the Italian Misericordia hospital in Grosseto and is still in serious condition after a week of intensive care .
The incident happened in the town of Castel del Piano, a tourist destination in Tuscany. The man and his wife there took MDMA to perform better sexually, testing a dangerous and burgeoning practice called “Chemsex”.
According to the National Library of Health (NLH), numerous studies have shown that MDMA can significantly suppress the immune system, making consumers more susceptible to infections. Very prolonged sexual activity can also cause penile abrasions, which allows infections to enter the bloodstream directly and increase their severity.
Boosted by the arrival of new synthetic products mainly belonging to the cathinone family, Chemsex has been developing in France since the 2010s.
Prevalence of Chemsex in France
“If the quantification of the prevalence of Chemsex in the general population always seems complex, the latter could concern around 20% of men who have sex with men, i.e. potentially 100,000 to 200,000 people within France. said a report made public last year.
