“化学性行为”出现在21世纪的世纪，是同性恋和双性恋男性在性接触中服用药物的做法，以调节快感，促进耐力，并扩大性的暂时性。然而，虽然这个词在抗逆转录病毒药物的引入，定位约会应用程序，在线色情和绅士化都有助于这种做法的普及和调解的历史时刻变得突出，但男同性恋者的毒品性行为的历史比这更长。在这篇文章中，我借鉴了这段历史，以及更广泛的批判历史和人类学的药物使用，以探讨性毒品使用的亚文化意义之间的酷儿民间。如果像布迪厄所说的那样，统治阶级的霸权是通过经济、社会和文化资本积累和再生产的形式来维持的，那么我将建立在亚文化和后亚文化研究的基础上，将化学性行为框定为一种亚文化再生产的实践，这种实践将当代同性恋和双性恋男性跨代联系起来，确保他们的文化和主体性的生存。在这样做的时候，我专注于chemsex作为一种肯定生命的文化实践的潜力，它不仅可以确保参与其中的男性的象征性甚至物质生存，而且还可以确保他们每次决定“聚会和玩耍”时所处的亚文化和亚文化历史。"
"Chemsex" emerged in the 21st century as the gay and bisexual male practice of taking drugs during sexual encounters in order to modulate pleasures, promote endurance, and expand the temporalities of sex. Yet, while the term has come to prominence at a historical juncture when the introduction of antiretroviral drugs, locative dating apps, online pornography, and gentrification all contributed to the popularisation and mediation of the practice, the history of sex on drugs among gay men is longer than that. In this article, I draw from that history, as well as from wider critical histories and anthropologies of drug use in order to explore the subcultural significance of sexualised drug use amongst queer folk. If, as Bourdieu argued, the hegemony of the ruling classes is sustained by forms of economic, social, and cultural capital accumulation and reproduction, I build on scholarship on subcultural and post-subcultural studies to frame chemsex as a practice of subcultural reproduction that connects contemporary gay and bisexual men across generations, ensuring the survival of their cultures and subjectivities. In so doing, I focus on chemsex's potential as a life-affirming cultural practice, one that can ensure the symbolic and even material survival not only of the men who engage in it, but also of the subcultures and subcultural histories within which they locate themselves every time they decide to "party and play."
