Abstract
In this talk, I will present data from my ongoing participant observation among gay, bisexual, and men who have sex with men who are using a video conferencing platform to engage in sociability, mostly around smoking crystal meth. I will consider its practices, social hierarchies and digital as well as chemical modulations of erotic pleasure and temporality.
