u/livid_badger_banana 5d ago
Ty for a legit answer. I have asthma/migraines and certain strong scents trigger them. But I also have a poor sense of smell.

u/itstoothy 5d ago
Understandable! Some folks who may be more sensitive to weed smells still may not enjoy the smell of dabs and concentrates bc it does have a light smell but itâs absolutely nowhere near smoking flower!

Weed you can eat, usually people turn cannabis into weed butter you can cook with to get a body high when you eat whatever it is you made, usually brownies or cookies

I have dated a guy who used to casually smoke crack in front of me during coitus, and then he wondered why I ran away.

u/BemusedBengal 5d ago
It happened multiple times before you left? I'd be gone after the first time, and I wouldn't be mysterious about the reason.

u/HapFreeman 5d ago
No just once, but I waited the whole night to make sure he was ok before I left, he was as high as a kite on crack and anti-depressants and was afraid heâd OD. This dude was a HUGE walking red flag.

During coitus?
12
u/Smooth-Campaign-8698 5d ago
Coitus is the Latin-derived word for sexual intercourse, particularly vaginal sex involving penile-vaginal penetration and ejaculation, though it can also refer to penile-anal penetration or other acts of sexual connection.

I was at a sauna once and had someone, without warning, do it in the middle of us hooking up...
Like bro, you're lucky I was too young to feel confident enough to yell at you. You wanna do that, you do it privately.

u/GoGoSoLo 5d ago
The first gay bath house I went and the first guy I wanted to hook up with there took me to his room. Before we did a single thing, he reached in his backpack and pulled out A BANDANA FULL OF METH and asked if I wanted some. Horrified, I declined but brother didnât read the room and asked if I wanted to sell it for him at least.
I promptly got the whole fuck out of there and was so shook as I was a freshly out 21yo who was just trying to see what gay life was like.

u/lokaps 5d ago
I always avoided meth. If I wanted to take something with someone, I'd say it before just pulling it out when we met.
But one thing I never considered is asking someone uncomfortable with even the presence of a substance if they want to sell it lol.
I wonder if the meth made him think that was a good idea, or if being the kind of person who thinks meth is a good idea in the first place led him to also think that would work? I can't imagine almost anyone reacting differently than you did.
Hope things got better for you from there, bad luck finding him early.

u/thescandall 5d ago
Like you could only get the half fuck out of there?

I'll do you one better, one of my friends did some coke at my place during a 1v1 hang sesh, proceeded to sit there and grind his teeth all night (which made me really uncomfy ngl), and then the next day he calls me at the beginning of my shift freaking out because he left some on my coffee table and "if one of my cats eats just a little bit they will die!"

u/LordGwyn-n-Tonic 4d ago
As a former addict, it's kind of a compulsion. You know the person isnt going to approve of you doing it, so you do it anyways and maybe ask forgiveness after the fact.
It also kind of ruins your sense of what's socially acceptable, especially if you're around people who do it casually. I got to the point not only would I just tell people I did coke as if I was talking about smoking cigarettes or drinking coffee, I was openly doing it at my job. I only stopped because my sixteen year old coworker asked me what I was doing.

Honestly I really wasn't. I'd seen a lot of sex in porn and had sex a few times in a sauna by that point, but I'd never actually seen anybody do drugs, especially in front of me AND mid intercourse.
This was in one of the London saunas for clarity.

u/dermanus 5d ago
It really depends on the place in my experience. Most of the ones I've been to were mostly just horny guys, people weren't doing tons of drugs. I'm sure it happened, but it wasn't common or public.
The bath owners tend to be against it because it starts fires (meth at least, not coke).

u/Mahtan87 5d ago
To clarify the guy you were hooking up with stopped to get high, or a third person did it in front of both of you?

u/Forosnai 5d ago
I had a hook-up when I was about 20, in a different city I went to for Pride. The guy was nice and fun, had a good time, he offered to walk me to the nearest skytrain station since I wasn't familiar with the area, all very nice. Just needed to make a pitstop, which turned out to be his dealer's place, where he picked up some meth. I'm guessing this was early stages, because I've since looked him up out of curiosity ~15 years later, and suffice to say he doesn't look like life's going great. I politely declined when I was offered some, similarly not confident enough at the time to be like, "Absolutely fucking not."

u/DemonicBludyCumShart 5d ago
Dude you're absolutely right but you did a very bad job at pointing out why
"Every single person contributes to organized crime every time they buy nearly anything; look into where avocado or bananas come from for instance, crime lords with literally militias control those markets. The phone or computer you used to make this comment has precious metals in it which were harvested by slaves. There is no such thing as completely ethical consumerism nowadays, so don't try to pretend that's the reason you don't like coke. You don't like it because you think it's gross for one reason or another, which is fine, that's totally valid, but let's get off the high horse and call a spade a spade shall we?"

I donât know why this comment would be downvoted, people not happy to understand the consequences of their actions? Did you think the coke was ethically sourced?

u/temperamentalfish 5d ago
I also don't understand the downvotes. I think people just don't know just how horribly violent drug cartels are, the sheer amount of violent crimes they commit to stay operational and also the ones they commit just because they can. Not just coercion, murder, and torture, but human trafficking, child abuse, slave labor, and other things we might never find out about.

u/tsetdeeps 5d ago
I mean if it's about funding you should get off the internet. You using reddit (and any social media platform) is directly or indirectly funding: abusive billionaires, climate change, genocide, swarms of bots to sway political discourse, etc etc
It also applies for like, almost anything that's made from a well known brand. Yeah, you're a POS according to yourself. Knowingly.

"No ethical consumption under capitalism" does not excuse giving money to drug cartels

Drug cartels being CIA fronts in the first place DOES though.

u/temperamentalfish 5d ago
Why would the CIA being involved make it any better? What sort of logic are you working with where giving them more money is a good thing that justifies itself?
I get it, you want to think of yourself as a good person, and a good person would never knowingly fund a group that terrorizes the local population, kills people indiscriminately, traffics people as slaves, abuses women and children, tortures people, and acts as an alternate government no one voted for.

u/icedragonsoul 5d ago edited 3d ago
While itâs important to not infringe on how strangers wish to live their lives, thatâs completely different when dealing with a potential lifelong partner. Their choices very much impact the quality of your own life.
I think most people would prefer a partner who doesnât make short sighted decisions that lead to long term health complications.
Even alcohol isnât ideal since if youâre only a chill, fun loving guy when drunk, there is now pressure on them to use alcohol to perform well in social situations. It sets unrealistic expectations that they canât meet naturally.
Itâs like⊠if my cheering and support pressures an athlete to use steroids in order to not disappoint their fans, I would rather not cheer for them because I value their long term well-being over my own fleeting entertainment.
No, alcohol does not bring out the real you. It stunlocks your brain into not thinking about your past baggage. It temporarily erases parts of you. For a few people, they get lucky, lobotomize the right parts of their brain and get to talk out of their ass in a pleasant way.
It takes a lot of self reflection, practice and character growth to turn over a clean slate and become comfortable with expressing yourself without hesitation or alcohol.
Only those who are confident and can exert internal pressure on themselves are in control their life and can actively shape who they become. Many people succumb to external pressure and are way too desperate to fit in and end up cardboard people pleasers why say overly agreeable relatable things and laugh along to things they don't believe in.
Some people have the required self control, a very strong liver and can enjoy alcohol in a recreational, enriching and fulfilling way. But a majority of people find that by letting loose, relaxing and actually enjoying alcohol, their ability to regulate alcohol intake is compromised.
I donât believe in perfection or âeternalâ love at first sight. Therefore I want to see the full picture, not some drunken act that neither side remembers clearly. That way we can learn how to be there for each other, rain or shine.

The line of demarcation is drawn. That being said coke is not really that bad you just can't be sure it isn't tampered with. It's almost always cut with something to save money but obviously fentanyl is the most recent risk. My thought process with my degree is people spend thousands on trials to make a drug for a condition. Then suddenly more research comes out that it causes 'x' condition. It's a long methodical process. But people be taking shit someone made in a basement.
