Intoxication play (also called Intox) involves the use of drugs in conjunction with sexual activity. Participants may engage in intoxication to enhance the physical sensations or mental headspaces of a scene. Intoxication play may involve the use of one or more of a wide range of substances, each of which carries unique risks and interactions that must be carefully considered.

Health risks
Intoxication play can present significant risk of harm or death. The specific health risks depend on the substance(s) involved and how the desired or undesired effects may interact with the context in which they are used. However, due to the illegal nature and social stigma of many substances, practical information to inform responsible use is often lacking from direct peer-reviewed evidence. Thus, many people rely on other resources such as Erowid or PsychonautWiki along with communities such as Bluelight or Drugs-forum. RACKWiki intends to add to augment these resources by adding information about how substance use and the properties and risks of specific substances intersect with erotic use.
In general, it is important to understand several key pieces of information about a substance prior to engaging in any use, but especially use which involves compounded risk with erotic or kink-related activity.
Legal risks
In most jurisdictions, intoxicated people are not able to give or withdraw legal consent, even if intoxication was caused voluntarily. Intoxication is usually prima facie evidence of nonconsentuality, so criminal liability easily attaches to any scene involving intoxicants.
