Little is known about the other leisure activities of people who engage in kink, including sexual practices and the use of alcohol and other drugs. This article examines the drinking, illicit drug use and sexual practices of people who engage in kink from a novel sample of attendees at an English festival. Of 966 respondents, 64 reported having engaged in kink within the past 12 months. We provide evidence of these respondents' self-reported demographic characteristics, alcohol and other drug use in their lifetime and within the past 12 months, as well as other sexual practices they engaged in. This study illustrates the value of accessing participants through in situ festival fieldwork to understand kink practices, and helps us move beyond notions of clustered risky activities toward a leisure studies approach to understanding the practices of people who engage in kink.
对于参与性癖好活动的人的其他休闲活动，包括性行为以及酒精和其他药物的使用，我们所知甚少。本文从一个英国节日活动的新颖参会者样本入手，研究了参与性癖好活动的人的饮酒、非法药物使用和性行为情况。在966名受访者中，有64人报告在过去12个月内参与过性癖好活动。我们提供了这些受访者自我报告的人口统计学特征、他们一生中以及过去12个月内的酒精和其他药物使用情况，以及他们参与的其他性行为的证据。这项研究说明了通过现场节日实地调查接触参与者以了解性癖好行为的价值，并帮助我们超越将危险活动聚集在一起的观念，转向一种休闲研究方法来理解参与性癖好活动的人的行为。
