The haptic and aesthetic dimensions of these encounters are examined, considering their effects on masculinities, gender, and sexual practices. A central tension emerges between haptic experimentation, which fosters a non-genital-centric sexuality, and the homonormative masculine aesthetics that shape these experiences. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the research is based on critically analyzed personal participation in chemsex, which was documented through field notes. The results reveal that chemsex practices are deeply relational, influenced by both pharmacological effects and aesthetic norms. The study concludes that chemsex constitutes a space of complex cultural transformation, where new forms of relationship, pleasure, and gender expression are challenged and redefined.Este artigo apresenta uma análise autoetnográfica do chemsex, com foco no uso simultâneo de Viagra e catinonas. Ele examina as dimensões hápticas e estéticas desses encontros, considerando seus efeitos sobre masculinidades,gênero e práticas sexuais. Uma tensão central surge entre a experimentação háptica, que promove uma sexualidade descentralizada do ponto de vista genital, e as estéticas masculinas homonormativas que moldam essas experiências. Com uma abordagem multidisciplinar, a pesquisa baseia-se na participação pessoal no chemsex, documentada por meio de anotações de campo e analisada criticamente. Os resultados revelam que as práticas de chemsex são profundamente relacionais, influenciadas tanto pelos efeitos farmacológicos quanto pelas normas estéticas. O estudo conclui que o chemsex constitui um espaço de transformação cultural complexa, onde novas formas de relacionamento, prazer e expressão de gênero são contestadas e redefinidas.Este artículo presenta un análisis autoetnográfico del chemsex, centrado en el uso simultáneo de viagra y catinonas. Se examinan las dimensiones hápticas y estéticas de estos encuentros, considerando sus efectos sobre las masculinidades, el género y las prácticas sexuales. Se identifica una tensión central entre la experimentación háptica, que promueve una sexualidad genitalmente descentraada, y la estética masculina homonormativa que da forma a estas experiencias. Con un enfoque multidisciplinario, la investigación se basa en la participación personal en el chemsex, analizada criticamente, la cual fue documentada a través de notas de campo. Los resultados revelan que las prácticas de chemsex son profundamente relacionales, influenciadas tanto por efectos farmacológicos como por normas estéticas. El estudio concluye que el chemsex es un espacio de compleja transformación cultural, donde se cuestionan y redefinen nuevas formas de relación, placer y expresión de género. 22024-01-0120242024-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/309899https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1590/1807-0310/2024v36290324reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
