Party and play (PNP and PnP) is a phenomenon and subculture of recreational drug users who engage in sexual activities with one another, either one-on-one or in groups.〔PSA tackles ''PNP'': TV ad warns against crystal meth usage in the gay male community. Danielle Dawkins. Metro Weekly. URL:http://web.archive.org/web/20070921093652/http://www.metroweekly.com/gauge/?ak=2025〕 It is also called chemical session, chem session, chemsex and partying. The term is often but not always used by and associated with gay men〔 and other men who have sex with men (MSM). The drug of choice is typically methamphetamine, known as ''crystal'' or ''tina'' in the gay community. Other "party drugs" such as MDMA, mephedrone, and GHB are less associated with this term.〔While the term PNP almost certainly has its origins in the specific subculture of methamphetamine users, and is without doubt most associated with its use, people have been quick to generalize it to include partying with other drugs thought to intensify sexual experiences, especially ecstasy, GHB, and cocaine. This (article ) in ''The New York Times'' describes PNP as simply "shorthand for sex with drugs." This (GBLT glossary ) notes that PNP is a term "denoting that someone wants to combine sex with use of drugs such as methamphetamines,(sic ) etc." This (list of gay slang ) says PNP is "an interest for casual sex that includes hard drugs such as ecstasy". A (glossary of drug-related terms ) produced by the United States Department of Health and Human Services defines PNP as "Methamphetamine used in combination with MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) and Viagra". The San Francisco Department of Public Health defines it as "a way to describe men who like to use crystal methamphetamine during sex." in its FAQ section (). Finally, this (report ) from the National HIV Prevention Conference (a collaborative effort by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a U.S. Government agency, and other governmental and non-government organizations) describes PNP as "sexual behavior under the influence of crystal meth or other 'party' drugs." Many sources mention only methamphetamine; although the origin of the term leans towards only including methamphetamine, this is inaccurately prescriptive since the term has come into use for other drugs or combinations.〕 It has been called an "epidemic" in the gay community.〔 ==Participants== Methamphetamine is often used recreationally for its effects as a potent aphrodisiac, euphoriant, and stimulant. According to a National Geographic TV documentary on methamphetamine, "an entire subculture known as party and play is based around methamphetamine use."〔 Gay men belonging to this subculture will typically meet up through internet dating sites and have sex.〔 On such sites, men often include notations such as "chems" or "PNP".〔 Some sites, such as Manhunt.net, prohibit members from saying that they want PNP or making other positive references to drug use. Since stimulant drugs such as methamphetamine drastically delay the need for sleep, increase sexual arousal, and tend to inhibit ejaculation, PNP sexual encounters can continue for many hours, as a typical methamphetamine high lasts about eight hours.〔 In some cases, these sexual encounters will sometimes occur continuously for several days along with repeated methamphetamine use.〔 The crash following the use of methamphetamine in this manner is very often severe, with marked hypersomnia.〔 Craigslist.org has the same policy but it is seldom enforced; users often advertise they are willing to provide ''favors'' or ''party favors''〔http://nymag.com/nymetro/urban/gay/features/5948/index.html〕 to prospective partners. Internet posts by men seeking pNp experiences often resort to slang to identify what drug they are partying with.〔Frederick, B.J. (2012).

"Party N Play" on the Internet: Subcultural formation, Craigslist, and escaping from stigma. Deviant Behavior 35(11), 859-884.〕 These drugs tend to inhibit penile erection,〔〔 a phenomenon known by the slang term ''crystal dick''. Consequently, many men who engage in PNP use erectile dysfunction drugs such as sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil.〔Race K (2009): ''Pleasure Consuming Medicine: The queer politics of drugs'' Durham: Duke University Press.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「party and play」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
