LONDON - ARSE CUBE PARTIES

We got this dispatch from a gay photographer buddy:
"Those little pink baggies of Crystal Meth are getting purer and stronger than ever… "

*You might not want to read this if you're homophobic / squeamish.

In the gay scene, those little pink baggies of Crystal Meth are getting purer and stronger than ever.

It's getting so strong that all sorts of guys are overdosing by doing too much and mixing it with Viagra, GHB and Ketamine (not for me thank you). In the last month or so a couple of people I know have overdosed / passed out because they did too much. Thank God nobody I know has died but I went to a party where it happened and it was really frightening.

The main point here is there's a dangerous urban myth going round gay guys that says you can revive an overdosed victim by poking a couple of ice cubes up his bum. This isn't true. My friend's a doctor and he said that the shock from the ice could send the body into shock and cause a fatal heart attack.

So please, guys, don't do it.

Saying that, I like to think that every cloud has a silver lining and, fuelled by this urban myth, certain groups of guys I know are playing a game called, charmingly, "arse cubes".

It goes like this. You put ice cubes up your bum and then shoot them out as far as you can while another guy tries to catch it in his mouth. It's really fun actually! Some people have even got so good at aiming their ice cubes that they can shoot them right into another guy's bumhole!

Obviously, you don't want to play this game if one of you is dying from a Crystal Meth overdose. Be careful guys!
