Abstract

Chem-fun’ (i.e. chem-sex) is rarely a topic which is researched from the perspective of a drug users right’s in Asia. This poster explores ‘chem-fun’ in the Hong Kong MSM community as a subcultural practice enabling us to understand the subjective pleasure and context of the user. Drawing upon two bodies of qualitative research (Lau, 2014; Laidler et al; forthcoming) , the poster documents changes in drugs use and the chem-fun scene in Hong Kong. We suggest harm reduction practices for the different stages of ‘chem-fun’ and strategies for specific drugs used in the scene enabling ‘players’ to reduce harm and play as safely as possible.
