My Sex and My Drugs and My Rock 'n Roll
Nerve.com's Sex and Drug issue has some really good essays on, you guessed it, sex and drugs and stuff. I highly recommend the Richard Hell and James Frey essays. A bit from Hell:My feeling is that the influence of a drug, if it's a drug powerful enough to noticeably affect the experience of sex, in a real way subsumes the experience into itself. When you have sex on drugs, you're having sex with the drugs, not sex with a human. That's cool too, I'm not disparaging it. Everything is chemical after all, most emphatically including people. One could make a case that sex itself is a drug — it sure does flood the nervous system with pleasing molecules and charges. Or, on the other hand, one could say that love is the drug that does the most to make sex good.{source: largehearted boy}
