Data were collected from 1169 gay circuit party patrons in three North American circuit parties in three geographical locations in 1999. Questionnaires obtained reasons for attending circuit parties and drugs used at circuit parties. Factor analyses of the 10 major reasons for attending parties indicated that there were two significant moderately correlated dimensions: a social and celebratory one to be with friends and dance, and a sensation-seeking one, to have sex and drugs. Drug and sex on drugs predictors of the social dimension accounted for only 3.8% of its variance and included alcohol, ecstasy (methylenedioxymethamphetamine), GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate), and having sex while on alcohol as significant predictors. Drug predictors for the sensation-seeking dimension accounted for four times the variance of the first dimension and included poppers, alcohol, ecstasy, Special K, and GHB, and having sex while on methamphetamines and on GHB. Unsafe sex was significantly associated with the sensation-seeking dimension but not the social dimension. While 63% checked > or = 3 of the social reasons for attendance, only 13% checked > or = 3 of the sensation-seeking reasons for attendance. Age was significantly inversely associated with the social dimension. These data suggest that while drug use is significantly associated with both the sensation-seeking and social dimensions of circuit party attendance, a greater number of drugs, sexual activity while on drugs, and unsafe sex are more closely associated with the sensation-seeking dimension of attendance.
1999年，在北美三个不同地理位置的巡回派对上，从1169名男同性恋巡回派对参与者中收集了数据。通过问卷调查了解他们参加巡回派对的原因以及在派对上使用的毒品。对参加派对的10个主要原因进行因素分析表明，存在两个显著的中度相关维度：一个是社交和庆祝维度，即与朋友相聚和跳舞；另一个是寻求刺激维度，即进行性行为和使用毒品。社交维度的毒品和性行为预测因素仅占其方差的3.8%，包括酒精、摇头丸（亚甲二氧基甲基苯丙胺）、γ-羟基丁酸（GHB）以及在饮酒时进行性行为，这些都是显著的预测因素。寻求刺激维度的毒品预测因素占第一个维度方差的四倍，包括亚硝酸异戊酯、酒精、摇头丸、氯胺酮和γ-羟基丁酸，以及在使用甲基苯丙胺和γ-羟基丁酸时进行性行为。不安全的性行为与寻求刺激维度显著相关，但与社交维度无关。虽然63%的人勾选了≥3个社交方面的参加原因，但只有13%的人勾选了≥3个寻求刺激方面的参加原因。年龄与社交维度显著负相关。这些数据表明，虽然吸毒与参加巡回派对的寻求刺激和社交维度都显著相关，但更多的毒品、吸毒时的性活动以及不安全的性行为与参加派对的寻求刺激维度更为密切相关。
