Love as Drug, Drug as Love…
Has anyone here been both in love and taken ecstasy? (I have never taken E and cannot attest). Are they similar? Which is better and why? When rats are given ecstasy, their brains dump a shit load of OXT and 5HT and they start behaving very strangely… they start wanting to be close to each other and licking each other and following each other around and nuzzling… From a human point of view it seems almost romantic. Ecstasy was, afterall, first used by psychiatrists as a drug of choice in ‘couples counselling’ because it invoked extreme feelings of closeness and attatchement in those that took it together. A very good friend of mine once told me, ‘If you want to have the best, most intimate, most extreme sex of your life, take E. But be warned- you won’t enjoy sex again for at least a month...’ And hence I’ve never tried it. So I’m kinda interested to know some first-hand accounts of this chemical form of love. Could that super-amazing feeling really be this simple??? I doubt it, but… that could be my bias.
