Is it strange for a grown man, age 32 to use ecstacy?

So my boyfriend and his friends use ecstacy on a pretty regular basis. Now, he is no loser: he works hard at an extremely stressful job, takes his hobbies seriously, works out, eats well, and generally cares. Furthermore, he has no previous history of drug abuse, mental illness, or any other strange, damaging behavior. As for me, I consider what he does in his free time none of my business (as long as no one gets hurt). I mean, boys will be boys and I understand the necessity of that much anticipated weekly "night out".

On Sundays, he goes to a club where his best friend spins records. Once a month or so, they do ecstacy...stay up all night contently watching the alteration of shaddows and light, get massages from strange but beautiful women, and possibly waive their arms in a slow floating ecstacy induced pattern. Harmless (aside from the obvious dangers he swears are avoided by the right combination of hydration, vitamins, minerals and eventual sleep), right?

I am no prude, having tried everything once or twice. I smoke pot whenever I get a free moment away from my demanding daily grind. I even humored him once by sticking an E tablet up my anus. We sat at his house and talked. And talked. And talked. It was amusing at best. I woke up the next night feeling like the entire endless circle of conversation was just a web of promises already broken by the depletion of E pulsating through our bodies.

But hey, if thats what rocks his world.

Now, I am a 26 year old professional woman who smokes pot and giggles like a girl of 17 after dissecting a simple chore while mumbling in grand stoner tone ..."Whaaat?" So who am I to judge a man who takes a little E in order to unwind? Do I just "not get it" as he "doesn't get" my pot habbit? Or are we both experiencing the frightful late 20's/early 30's crisis when one struggles against the unfortunate natural progression toward adulthood? When IS it time to shed the illusions of teenage freedom and step up to the plate? MUST WE REALLY TRADE OUR BONGS AND GLOW-STICKS FOR MARTINIS AND GOLF CLUBS???

It doesn't seem that either of you have issues with it, so who cares? Quit when you feel like it. Until then, party on.

I am calling BS.

No girl post about sticking stuff in her anus on her first post. Maybe on her second, but not her first. The other give away was how she likes to smoke pot and does not mind her boyfriend getting messages from hot girls while high on ecstacy. At least make it believable.

[bosoxfan]

It's ok if the grown man is doing it with his kids and filming it for HBO.

I can see a femme using pooper, but anus does strike me as funny. I don't think I've ever heard a woman use the word, but guys tend to get the male equivalent of giggles over words like that. I dunno, I have my suspicions too.

If it's not a joke account, why worry if you are both getting along okay?

It sounds first of all like you are doing the female thing of taking random things out of life and turning them into symbols, and then turning those symbols against someone, so this does sound like it could be femme-written. You're taking this e-use, and your dope use too, as symbols instead of just what they are, and trying to attach some kind of grand or cosmic meaning to it. Very chick.

Resist the urge to dramatize your life and make random or meaningless things into dramatic ups and downs or revelations. They're not. The world is not all a stage and you're not the heroine of the story. You're just going to have to schlep through it like everyone else and maybe not get any Pulitzers at the end.

If there's a dissatisfaction or feeling of emptiness in your life that makes you want to dramatize it, you're probably too boring and indifferent, so find something meaningful and interesting to occupy your time, mind, and soul -- or even anus -- with. If you want a more interesting life, become a more interesting person. Don't try to fill voids with conflicts, moods, wishes, and attitudes -- actually go do stuff. If you want to be the star, live by doing more than just existing.

I see so many couples creating melodrama just so they can enjoy the make-up after, or feel like there is all kinds of drama in their existence, when really they are doing very little to inhabit their own lives, as if they were absentee landlords of their own bodies. Like clowns, they have no real confidence to try anything hard or even just new in life, so they just waste their energy by stupidly clubbing each other about the head with it.

Do you want a certificate or something to say you've reached adulthood? A visit from Mickey Mouse or a congratulatory handshake from Ed McMahon?

Just live your life.

E is the [censored], and its never too late to keep partying as long as its not interfering with other parts of your life.

Then again, if it was really not interfering then would you really post it here? Denial is a powerful thing....

I hope this doesn't mean I have to become a "grown man" by next year when I turn 32.

My dad told me a long time ago that women are all squirrels. This is a typical example. They need to keep themselves busy worrying about things even if they don't have anything worth worrying about.

The original poster needs to chill the fcuk out.

[STLantny]

Woah, wait. You can get high off of sticking E up your butt?

[Brock Landers]

You actually can. I read somewhere that by "plugging" it, you actually get more of the MDMA into your system than by just swallowing it. Up your butt, your intestines absorb it more directly into the bloodstream without your stomach acid , etc. neutralizing the drug.

maybe the original poster would be less uptight if she let her boyfriend put things other than his E pills in her pooper?

You stuck E on your anus? What does this mean? When someone say's 'anus', I don't this ass. I think ass hole.

You're hot.

I'm not hung-up when it comes to drugs, but I don't consider ecstasy use "harmless." Less than 10 doses have been shown to cause brain damage in lab monkeys, the effects of which are still measurable some seven years later. That's not mild.

That said, I've known quite a few men who kept using it well into their thirties, but the vast majority of them were gay. But ecstasy was huge in the gay community before the hippies discovered it. So take that for what it's worth.

So to recap: Your boyfriend and his friends are brain-damaged closeted homosexuals. They're probably sticking E tablets up each other's anuses as we speak.

So let's see...you're 26, like to smoke pot and you have a job? If you're physically attractive, can cook, and are willing to support a handsome, funny dude who hates to work, give me a call. Ditch the dude w/ the damage and find yo-self some REAL ecstasy, if you get my drift.

these results are hella skewed. the doses they gave to monkeys was far more in terms of dosage to weight ratio as in humans.

e is bad for you and likely screws your brain up if you take a ton of it. but used responsibly it is not likely gonna leave any long term problems.

Even worse than brain damage, it also causes its users to start using the word "hella" constantly. Advanced cases have even seen unfortunate subjects using the word in print.

the problem is it's just like any other drug where one use can often do it. It redoes with brain chemistry and we all should know just how bad that can be.

[/ QUOTE ]

The term is "plunging". Yes it intensifies the effects. However, I never understood why people don't just buy a second pill in this day and age. I mean, e used to cost like $30-$35 a pill so people would stick it in their pooper and drink their pee while coming down, everything they could to get their moneys worth. But now you can get a pill for $10-15 so just buy another one if you want to intensify the experience.

Tell me if this is weird. I am 35 and like to eat out girls asses with E in it. The reason I do this in the first place is because The E has put various holes in my brain. I also enjoy sticking butter in my ass and letting it melt onto toast.

Wait, so in an effort to save a whopping $30-35 people used to
1. Stick something up their ass and,
2. Drink their own urine

And there are questions as to whether or not this causes brain damage?

yes it is. you goddamn hippies piss me off. grow up and act your age

I knew that in order to get any replies on OOT I would need to include things like "anus" or "pot". Sure, I would never admit to any of this in person but the point of a forum is that we can have anonymous conversations with each other. Get out of your little box of prissy girlies and meet some real ladies who are not scared of their rectal passages.

Actually, we get along better than any couple I know. We trust each other completely and always watch out for each other. I just don't get the whole E thing and wanted to hear about other peoples experiences with it. (Although it looks like everyone is more interested in the whole anal thing...but that's ok bc the comments are really funny). You do give great advice though, and everyone should listen (including me).
