Cancer Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Re: The Last Word Shrug. The only intoxicants I've ever used are fatigue toxins and alcohol. (I don't count the mind alterations that happened under anesthesia.) My experience mimics yours in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Re: The Last Word So it stands to reason that using alcohol to get oneself laid backfires, in that one has better sex while of sound mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Re: The Last Word . . . Apples and oranges, there. Anyway, got the test results. Ended up with a 2.0 -- the top .6th percentile. *does test jig* I wonder how Pixie did, but I don't want to ask -- she'll have to tell me herself.

lemming Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Re: The Last Word Well, me, too. But I don't have to get drunk (nor do I have to get my husband drunk). In fact, I find the sex is a lot better if neither of us have had any substances. Er, TMI? Nah. I mean alchohol might make one relaxed enough to follow through with the sex act, but it rarely enhances it, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's even a line from Macbeth about it. Let's see if I can't find it . . . Ah. It "provokes the desire but takes away the performance."

L. Marcus Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Re: The Last Word And if she tests positive?. . . Then, I'm sad to say, it would be none of my doing. No, I got the result from Högskoleprovet, a kind of college-entrance exam. Most colleges and universities takes in one in four students based on the test. As I understand the concept, it's not totally dissimilar to the SATs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
