Overindulging on your drug of choice can have an impact on your interactions while swinging. We recall some of our experiences, and provide examples of how moderation is an important strategy for navigating social, and sexual interactions at lifestyle events.
If you are looking for a guide on how to use drugs in the lifestyle, this is not your episode. There are resources on the internet for this information, but we’re not one of them.
Note: We’re re-listening to this episode after receiving some constructive criticism from a listener. We intended this episode to be a reflection of our personal experiences with drugs and alcohol in the lifestyle. We acknowledge that drugs and their use are complex and nuanced issues.
We are NOT scientists or pharmacists. We have personal experiences with drugs: Our use and the use of others amongst our families, and friends. This still doesn’t make us experts for all people or experiences. We’re just people who have had experiences and passing them on to the community.
We will try to address these criticisms… Stay tuned!
