SEXIS WRONG

Sex and…Drugs
Preston Peet
“It is obvious that sex and drugs together can lead to more extraordinary
and paranormal trans-ego experiences than either
sex or drugs alone,” the incomparable Robert Anton Wilson
once wrote. 1 As aphrodisiacs, as lubricants in social settings,
as a tool to assist in seducing a potential partner, to help make
the sexual act a more magical and mystical experience, there
is no set reply—everyone this writer discussed sex and drugs
with while researching this article reports a different view of
both the purpose(s) of taking drugs with their sex (or sex with
their drugs, as the case may be) and of the results.
Despite the rampant sex phobias and drug phobias that many
in roles of authority labor under, which in large part are used
to manipulate the populace into supporting our current worldwide
drug prohibitions, millions of people across the globe
still use drugs, both legal and illegal, and many if not most
do, at least sometimes, combine their drugs with sex. Is Wilson
correct, that the reason many people take
drugs in combination with sex is to enhance
their sexual experience? Or is the sex often a
result of the drug use itself, an inadvertent accident
where one wakes in the morning, looks
across the bed, and says through a throbbing headache and
pasty mouth, “Oh shit, what have I done?”
Both sex and drugs are often targets of puritans, politicians,
and law enforcers who need a scapegoat to blame for this or
that problem or social ill and to insure a continued source of
revenue for their coffers. But both are so much fun, with the
possible yet at times very real negative consequences so far
out of the mind and down the road for most, that few heed
the calls for stricter controls and for less of both. Whether
they’re aphrodisiacs for arousal, illegal drugs for thrills or enlightenment,
or pharmaceuticals for staying power, drugs and
sex go hand in hand, nearly inseparable.
Alcohol
“Alcohol is the big one. I already have my lessons for
my daughter worked out. ‘Look, some guy plying
you with drinks isn’t doing it out of charity. He’s
spending his good money on booze for you for one
reason.’ My guess is we all have a few ancestors
and, therefore, ourselves here because of drunken
sex.”—Steven Anker, television and commercial/
video director (Outer Limits, Dinosaurs, Jimmy
Kimmel Live, more)

“Chemicals such as opiates, methamphetamines,
and downs of any kind, including alcohol, can
make me limp as a wet lettuce leaf. Women can
sometimes hide these effects, but no man I’ve met
can. In youth, of course, we think we are immortal
and God-like strong, but in sexual success it is only
“My guess is we all have a few
ancestors and, therefore, ourselves
here because of drunken sex.”
a matter of your youth, not the chemical. Let’s face
it, inhibited desire is the point to beat, not a limp
‘junior’!
“I know with sex I want to give or receive something
special, and most folks I talked to agree: A little
bit of your favorite sugar can make you feel like a
Tyrannosaurus (I mean like maybe two drinks, one
joint, etc.), but go over whatever is your dose to
do the job, and you fail. Drunk girls can be very
uninhibited, but they smell and pass out easily.
If I still drank, it would be no different!”—TR,
