Leave your valuables at home. These include:
- Party or ParTy (T is short for Tina)
- 🥳
- Clouds or ☁️
- 🧊 (ice is another name for Tina)
- HnH (short for High and Horny, more common in Europe)
Not everyone puts this info in their profile, so if you’re arranging a hookup you can ask them about PnP beforehand.
Moreover, the normalization of PnP within certain circles of the LGBTQ+ community adds to its prevalence. This is akin to driving a car with the gas pedal floored – the engine might keep up for a while, but eventually, it’s going to burn out.
Another concern is the high risk of HIV transmission and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Slamming kicks in fastest and gives the strongest effect. Its prevalence in this group has many questioning why this is so.
The LGBTQ+ community, particularly gay and bisexual men, often confront unique societal stressors like stigma, discrimination, and social isolation, which can lead to higher rates of substance use as coping strategies.
Do any of these apply to you? Methamphetamines affect the brain’s reward system, leading to a powerful sense of euphoria during use. Over time, the brain’s natural reward system gets skewed, leading to dependency and addiction.
In addition, the stigma associated with both drug use and non-heteronormative sexual behavior can exacerbate feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation, further escalating mental health issues.
Social Impact
The social impact of PnP within the LGBTQ+ community is much like a stone thrown into a pond – it creates ripples that extend beyond the individual to affect relationships, employment, and societal perceptions.
Prolonged involvement in PnP can strain personal relationships.
However, this is followed by a significant ‘crash’ where the individual may experience intense sadness, lethargy, and even paranoia. While the road to tackling this issue may be challenging, it is not impossible. Some engage in PnP activities to facilitate sexual connections. When it’s over you might feel shitty – this is totally normal.
Thankfully, there are community health organizations and harm reduction programs with detailed guides on how to make substance use safer. This approach is known as harm reduction.
How do you take Tina?
Tina comes as crystals or a powder. This is because the use of psychoactive substances can worsen existing mental health conditions and also lead to new ones.
Who can you talk to if things get bad?
If you’ve never tried PnP before, do some research. Others engage in it as a result of peer pressure.
Overamping & Overdose
Overamping is when someone takes too much of a stimulant like Tina. Try to eat something like a banana or a light snack. That means we have to use slang terms and euphemisms.
Over time, the brain’s natural reward system gets skewed, resulting in dependency and addiction.
PnP Within The LGBTQ+ Community
PnP has become an alarming trend within the LGBTQ+ community, specifically among gay and bisexual men. In addition, the stigma associated with both drug use and non-heteronormative sexual behavior of the LGBTQ+ person can exacerbate feelings of guilt, shame, and isolation, further escalating mental health conditions.
- Social and Emotional Impact
LGBTQ+ individuals involved in the PnP scene may find themselves increasingly isolated from non-using LGBTQ+ friends and loved ones.
