The 'Going to a Town' singer, who was addicted to the drug before Elton John persuaded him to go to rehab, believes he is lucky not to have contracted the HIV virus during his wild drug-induced sex sessions.
Rufus told Q magazine: "There is an argument to try anything, but I wish I had never tried crystal meth.
"In terms of being a gay man, you become sexually stupid. I consider it a real miracle that I am negative considering all that I did on that drug. I had a lot of unsafe sex with people who were HIV-positive."
The 33-year-old, who often strips on stage to show off his bare behind, loves buying sexy accessories for his live performances.
He said: "I bought these angel wings in a costume shop in Bristol.
"I wore them at the end of the show as an added prop for when I took off most of my clothes in a striptease.
"My basic intent was to show off my bum. And by the end of the tour I had a boyfriend."
