Sex, Drugs and CameronIn Newcastle, on Thursday April 13th 2006 I met with two old colleagues who still dabble in security matters. It was a meeting ‘full of bonhomie’ yet nonetheless stimulating as to suggestions made. David Cameron, the new conservative leader, was one of the topics of conversation.Neither of my old friends are much impressed by this water downed impresario of Blair – why have a replica when we still have the real thing was the general sentiment. Not a fit person to become prime minister was an alternative quote. Why I questioned? There then followed a plethora of criticism but such appeared to me to be fuelled by a personal dislike of his and his wife’s alleged personal habits – namely a preference as to sexual activity heightened either via illegal drug use and / or mild masochist activity fortified by spanking and caning. Now, it is not for me to say that there is a direct correlation between a poor ruler and one who likes a thick head and sore butt – but it does provoke some not surprising mental images. I copy below some examples of the literature that Mr. & Mrs. Cameron along with their smart London set are purported to enjoy. If such is their poison – you may make your own judgement. Martin Frost
2006-04-15 ‘Sex ‘n’ Drugs’ An article from May/June 2006 issue of Desire magazine A thrashing flyer from Erotic Print Society An erotic circular for the ‘Desire’ magazine See also Millions of people combine sex with aphrodisiac drugs to oil the wheels in new encounters with prospective partners, to improve performance -or simply to make good sex an even more thrilling, sensual, erotic or even mystical experience. The American writer Robert Anton Wilson made no bones about it in his book. Sex & Drugs-. A Journey Without Limits. 'It is obvious that sex and drugs together can lead to more extraordinary experiences than either sex or drugs alone.' he declared back in the Eighties. We decided to take a closer look at the subject and to discuss with others their experiences - both positive and negative - of combining sex with various drugs. For those in a steady relationship and seeking a greater high, they make take recreational drugs to enhance the sex, while the sex adds an extra dimension to the drugs. Of course, to determine whether drugs really are aphrodisiacs, we should first establish what is meant by an aphrodisiac. If we mean that a drug specifically arouses the sexual organs, then some certainly qualify as aphrodisiacs. If we mean that they produce or encourage sexual desire, then some clearly are aphrodisiacs. And if we mean that they can enhance the quality of sexual and erotic experiences between people who would enjoy sex anyway, then yes, a fair number of drugs are aphrodisiacs. Alcohol is still the drug of choice for most people, largely since it is the one substance that can be consumed legally in any situation. Strictly speaking, alcohol cannot be classified as a sexual stimulant, although by increasing blood flow and lowering inhibitions, it does cause mild arousal. Who hasn't gone to a pub, bar or club to get pissed and to pull?
It's such common and accepted behaviour that most people don't consider that they're actually taking a drug when knocking back a few drinks and eyeing up the talent, who magically appear to become increasingly attractive when viewed through the proverbial 'beer goggles'. Yet while those few drinks boost confidence no end, it doesn't take too many to reach the tipping point and you being off your face to the extent that any sex is piss-poor, providing it's even achievable- in the first place. Women can sometimes conceal the effects of one too many, but for guys it invariably results in a limp effort. As Shakespeare wryly observed in Macbeth, and as we all know from experience, it often "provokes the desire but it takes away the performance'. Unsurprisingly, strait-laced moralists have always attempted to discourage alcohol consumption, claiming that it inevitably leads to immoral sexual behaviour. And even today, advertisers cannot depict alcoholic drinks as an aid to seduction, or link it with sex in any way. Possibly the most widely used illicit drug, cannabis (whether eaten or smoked) heightens sensual and sexual awareness, although individual response is subjective, depending on mood, environment and expectations. Cannabis does appear to reduce inhibitions, to enhance impulses and feelings of intimacy, plus generally make sex more pleasurable - and at least seem to last longer. The anti-drug brigade will continue to claim that the demon weed can lead in sexual depravity and worse, but millions continue to use it because, well, it just makes sex more enjoyable. And despite its prohibited status, medical evidence suggests that moderate occasional use of this natural stimulant produces practically no ill effects. There are those who claim that psychedelics (such as LSI) or magic mushrooms) enhance the sexual experience no end, and back in the Sixties, counter-culture guru Dr Timothy Leary went so far as
to declare that acid was the most powerful aphrodisiac ever. Historians have suggested that hallucinogenic plants were used to celebrate festivals of fertility and sexuality many thousands of years ago. And for some, tripping can make sex a magical and profound experience, yet many users will say that psychedelics are simply too distracting to focus on the main event. Cocaine affords a feeling of mental, physical and sexual prowess, and also prolongs sex and delays orgasm. While it lowers sexual inhibitions, it can also impair performance. It seems cocaine releases a rush of dopamine in the brain which causes a sense of well-being, but this can also result in orgasms proving to be elusive. Applied directly to the glans or clitoris, coke's anaesthetic properties can further delay climaxing by desensitising these areas. Speed or amphetamine provides rather similar sensations to those of cocaine, though the effects can last considerably longer. For many, it is one of the most potent sexual stimulants, creating an overwhelming mental and physical stale of arousal that can persist for several hours. A turbocharged variation is crystal meth which has recently made its way over here from the USA where it has a substantial following in the gay-scene, in particular. Users claim it makes them incredibly horny, wildly uninhibited and energised, enabling them to embark on all-night shagathons. MDMA was the original 'love drug' which evolved in the late eighties into its less pure form as ecstasy, a psychedelic amphetamine. In its heyday in the nineties, it's been estimated that millions of ecstasy tablets were popped every weekend by the loved-up generation. 'E' enhances perceptions and sensations and can create a heightened sense of emotional bonding with others-, and the effects can last several hours. As well as all this, the drug provides an intensified pleasure in physical contact which often leads to a greater desire for sex (though sometimes making it harder to come). Amyl nitrate is now used primarily as a recreational drug, commonly marketed as 'aromas' or 'room odourisers' - which is pretty weird when you consider its sweet smell is redolent of sweaty feet. When inhaled, 'poppers open up the blood vessels
and speed up the heart rate, so when taken during lovemaking, or just prior to orgasm, they can generate a powerful short-lived rush and dizzy sense of uninhibited elation. The fact that they also relax the sphincter muscles goes some way to explaining their exalted status among the gay community and followers of anal sex. If course, it should he added that while many commonly used recreational drugs can justifiably claim to enhance sex, reduce inhibitions, increase energy and delay orgasm to some extent, they can also prove to be counterproductive or even dangerous if taken to excess, and others can be highly addictive. Apart from which, many are still illegal. And as a consequence of this, their strength, quality and purity can never be guaranteed. A thought-provoking view held by many today is that, as sex is a natural bodily function, it is far better lo take natural drugs such as magic mushrooms, cannabis, cocaine and mescaline, rather than artificial chemicals such as E, speed, acid and poppers. Obviously Viagra (see below) serves a different purpose as it does not affect the mind, and is useful with naturally occurring drugs in case they give you brewer's droop or overwhelm you. These days, a number of legal highs which replicate some of the pleasurable effects of many of those drugs discussed above, can be purchased from your friendly local headshop (though how long before many of these are put out of business when Tesco decide to market their own range of happy tabs is anybody's guess!). In fact, many such shops and websites offer a whole range of stimulants, relaxants and aphrodisiacs. Examples include Kratom, a south-east Asian plant which has been dubbed 'the herbal speedball', and San Pedro Cactus which contains large amounts of the psychedelic substance, mescaline. Also available is a growing range of ecstasy-like drugs or 'p.e.p pills' which contain active ingredients derived from the same chemical family as Viagra. And talking of which... In the last few years, a number of
pharmaceuticals such as Viagra and Cialis have come onto the market, aimed primarily at men, though officially available only on prescription in this country. Viagra rapidly became the fastest-selling drug in pharmaceutical history because, quite simply, it has helped produce impressive erections for millions of men - while some women have claimed it has helped to induce their first orgasms in years. For those men who could now achieve a previously elusive hard-on, the little blue pill certainly did the trick. Though for those simply seeking a performance booster, or to convince women they really are potent sex gods, it can result in a long-lasting boner that is ultimately devoid of sensation. It's often claimed that most male porn stars today rely on Viagra and the like to deliver the necessary 'wood' under rather demanding conditions, and to keep it up for long periods of filming. Unlike Viagra and Cialis which cause changes in muscular and vascular tissue to produce an erection, Uprima does not act directly upon the genitals, hut upon receptors in the hypothalamus to increase signals of pleasure and arousal from the brain. Even these legal pharmaceuticals can have a down side with side effects ranging from headaches to nausea. THROUGHOUT history, society has been fascinated and enthralled hy sex and drugs. Though sources of both pleasure and pain, shagging and getting high are two of the most fundamental human drives. Ironically, the sex and drugs industries are the only two profitable areas of activity that capitalist society frowns upon. Yet no matter how many repressive laws are introduced, regardless of the warnings of the risks and dangers, and whatever the cost, people will surely continue to seek out the rewards provided by these twin pursuits for a very long time to come. With the ban on smoking due to come into force next year (England & Wales), one can't help but wonder if the day will come when the innocent pleasure of a post-coital fag is outlawed, too.
