Sexual minority (LGBQ+) women’s experiences of accessing addiction services
Introduction: Lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer and other non-heterosexual (sexual minority) women experience significant health inequities in comparison with heterosexual women. Both drug and alcohol use, and addiction to drugs and alcohol, are more prevalent for this group. They may also be more likely to underutilise addiction healthcare services in comparison to sexual minority men. Aims: We aimed to understand sexual minority women's experiences…

For over three decades now Rosalind Gill has played a critical role in steering the direction of feminist media studies. Her scholarship provides a powerful overview of what it has been like for wo
(Trans)formative discomfort
Can infrastructures of queer counterpublic sex disrupt affective inequalities in gender and sexuality? This paper examines DTF (Down to Fuck or Dyke, Tranny, Faggot)—a Berlin-based, all-gender queer darkroom created by intersex and trans activists—as an infrastructure of intimacy that reconfigured the possibilities of erotic encounter. By assembling FLINTA and cis gay sexual cultures, DTF generated a space where gendered bodies, drugs, and desire…
Interrogating consent roundtable
In this roundtable, different scholars of sexual cultures discuss recent research, each has carried out on issues relating to consent. Acknowledging that consent is a fluid concept that has proven difficult to pin down, each intervention nevertheless finds it has some utility in exploring complex questions of sexual ethics across a variety of case studies. From the gamification of consent in sextech to the incorporation of consent by men into the…

From Paris is Burning to #dragrace: Social Media and the Celebrification of Drag Culture This article examines the celebrification of drag culture in the USA, and reflects on social media's role therein.This transformation is contextualised historically by charting the evolution of drag media representation from the subversive drag collectives immortalised in arthouse documentaries like The Cockettes (2002) to the emergence of highly-polished, br…
Critical chemsex studies
This article proposes and outlines a critical approach to the study of chemsex. The vast majority of chemsex research takes place within the broad field of health, particularly LGBTQ+ health, which ultimately frames such work using a paradigm of risk. This article follows previous research that calls attention to the limitations of this perspective, and suggests the value in formalising more generative, explorative and critical approaches to the …
The gay scientist
In this interview with Jamie Hakim, Kane Race talks about his most recent monograph The Gay Science: Intimate Experiments With the Problem of HIV (2018). In The Gay Science, he explores how practices of sex and intimacy between gay men are shifting amidst what he calls the changing infrastructures of gay life – digital, chemical and communal. As such the book is empirically oriented and looks at a wide range of topics from hook-up apps, to PreP t…
Sex in the time of coronavirus
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, representations of irresponsible gay men partying with little regard for viral transmission have circulated across social media; a construction of gay men that has a history that long precedes the coronavirus conjuncture. In this article, we draw on in-depth qualitative interviews with 43 queer men in London and Edinburgh, to investigate experiences of sexual and intimate practices during COVID-19 and use the con…
From carewashing to radical care
Care, in all its permutations, is the buzzword of the moment, its meanings draining away in its constant evocation. Here, we briefly expand on older and newer meanings of care in the wake of Covid-19. These include the increasingly blurred boundaries between what has been traditionally understood as “care work” versus “essential work”; desperate attempts by corporations to promote themselves as ‘caring’; and the adoption of reactionary rather tha…

The rise of chemsex
Since 2011, various public health organizations have observed the growth of the sexual practice ‘chemsex’ in the UK, primarily in London. The term chemsex refers to group sexual encounters between gay and bisexual men in which the recreational drugs GHB/GBL, mephedrone and crystallized methamphetamine are consumed. This article uses a conjunctural perspective to make sense of the rise of chemsex within the historical conditions in which it has em…
The Spornosexual
Since 2008 there has been an empirically observable rise in young British men sharing images of their worked-out bodies on social media platforms. This article draws on interviews with men who engage in this popular cultural practice to suggest that it is an embodied and mediated response to the precarious structures of feeling produced by neoliberal austerity. It begins by arguing that as young men’s traditional breadwinning capacities are being…
Mediated intimacies
In Ken Plummer’s groundbreaking study on intimacy, he notes that the word intimacy first appears in a Western dictionary in 1632 to mean ‘inmost or innermost thoughts and feelings’ (2003, p. 11). T
Press discourses on Roma in the UK, Finland and Hungary
This article analyses the political and media discourses on Roma in Hungary, Finland and the UK, in relation to both the local Roma in these countries as well as those who migrated from and to these countries following the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe. \nTo do so the authors have analysed left of centre and right of centre major newspapers in these three countries, focusing on specific case studies which were foci of public deb…
Affect and Popular Zionism in the British Jewish community after 1967
It is widely accepted within Jewish historiography that the ‘Six Day War’ (1967) had a profound effect on the British Jewish community’s relationship with Israel and Zionism. While this scholarship touches on the affective nature of this relationship, it rarely gives this aspect sustained consideration. Instead of seeing Zionism as an ideology or a political movement, this article argues that the hegemonic way that Zionism has existed within Brit…
