Grindr is being used to sell drugs (Leon Neal/Getty Images)
Grindr, the world’s largest gay dating app, is being increasingly used for the sale of illicit drugs, according to a new report.
Speaking to men who had been involved in selling or buying illegal substances on the app, NBC News uncovered a world of secret languages and codes used to conceal the activity.
One dealer, identified only as Mike, said he used Grindr as it gave him “more clientele” than he “would normally get on the street” and that using the app was safer as he didn’t have to worry about bumping into other dealers.
Another app user, Travis Scott, said he frequently received messages from people asking if he was “into PNP.”
PNP is an acronym for “Party and Play” – a term used to describe engaging in sexual activity while under the influence of illegal drugs.
It is also referred to as chemsex , a trend in which people take drugs that enhance sex and make them feel uninhibited, usually involves crystal methamphetamine, mephedrone, cocaine, ketamine or other amphetamines.
To conceal the selling or buying of drugs, some people use code words, symbols and emojis.
The diamond emoji is used to refer to crystal meth and the snowflake symbol is used to attract the attention of people wanting to buy cocaine.
Some Grindr users feature the capital letter T in their profiles, which refers to the street name for meth, Tina.
Phil McCabe, a social worker and president of the National Association of LGBT Addiction Professionals, told NBC he believed the situation had escalated in recent years.
He said he had been messaged by someone offering “parTy favours” and said apps were “making it easier for people” to buy drugs.
Chemsex has been linked to an increased risk of HIV and STIs because the use of drugs and alcohol in sexual settings may encourage unprotected sex.
Earlier this year, it emerged that Grindr was sharing the HIV statuses , sexual preferences and other personal details of users with outside software vendors.
Celebs you didn’t know have an LGBT sibling
A BuzzFeed investigation found the app had shared data with two external companies , including their GPS position, sexuality, relationship status, phone ID and ethnicity.
Grindr’s Vice President of Social Impact Jack Harrison-Quintana apologised for the “distress” caused to users .
“I want to start by apologising from everyone here at the Grindr team for all of the distress that we’ve caused over the last 48 hours,” he said in a video.
“I know that many of you have questions about what happens to the information you put on your Grindr profile, and I’m going to try and answer some of those questions today.
“I want to say at the outset very clearly that we have never and would never sell any user data, especially HIV information, to advertisers, or anyone else.”

PnP or party and play — also called "chemsex" in Great Britain — is a subculture of drug use that occurs while having sex. PnP has been widely associated with gay men and with men who have sex with other men, although it spans sexual preferences. The practice dates back to the seventies, but It has peaked since 2010 or so. Words spreads of various parties, or of interest in such parties or meet-ups, often through gay chat rooms and websites. PnP is more common in urban areas. It's been the subject of several documentaries, including one on Vice, and it played a role in London Spy, a BBC movie starring Ben Whishaw.
Users pick one or more "party drugs," most typically crystal meth. The "party" in the phrase means the drugs, and the "play" means sex.
Anyone who enjoys using drugs and who also enjoys sex — either with same-sex partners or heterosexually — will probably tell you that combining the two is a great experience. The addition of drugs often leads to prolonged sex, and it can prompts group sex. PnP provides a break from conventional sex and it's often be anonymous. Under the influence of some drugs, ejaculations are more powerful and sensation is dramatically heightened.
Although crystal meth is the most common drug involved in PnP, Viagra has been used as well because of its effect on sexual stamina. Mephedrone, which goes by the street name "Meow Meow," is more common in the U.K. and is often used there, although it's not readily available in the U.S. Similar to meth, it's a stimulant that can bring on feelings of euphoria, and it can be purchased cheaply. Liquid ecstasy or GHB is also used. Stimulants keep a user alert, which partly contributes to prolonged sexual encounters.
The introduction of drug use to gay sex has been shown to increase the incidence of barebacking — having unprotected anal sex. Drugs can provide courage and the physical relaxation that's required for successful and enjoyable anal sex. But barebacking, particularly among strangers with unknown pasts and health histories, increases the risk for HIV infection. In fact, an increase in HIV rates among men has been correlated with a rise in meth use over the same period. There's no surefire proof that this is related to PnP, although PnP often combines meth and barebacking.
Of course, there's no rule that you can't wear a condom during a PnP experience, but safety might not be first and foremost in your mind when you're under the influence of drugs, even if you stashed some in your back pocket with the intention of absolutely no-matter-what using them.
Some drugs commonly used in PnP situations are highly addictive. What might begin as a one-time great sexual experience could evolve into a long-term issue if it leads to more and more experimentation and partying.
