I am wanting to gague peoples' thoughts on this as the idea has been circulating through my skull's grey matter for a little while now...
I never tried drugs until earlier this year, in my 20s, which to my understanding is later than most. My main motivation, at the time, was to take my mind off the perpetual irritation of 'men', as I'd rationalised that I could get fucked (every weekend, no less - and within reason) without having sex.
Obviously, given my reasons for taking drugs in the first place (as a kind of replacement from sexual interaction), I have been careful not to mix the two together. But it's a pretty complacent state, I mean.. being able to internalise my experiences in a the cerebral sense rather than the physical. Am I the only person who has appropriated one release for another, consciously or unconsciously?
My relatively brief time in the scene has shown me that most people are happy to do the same thing.. i.e., fuck themselves up on a weekly basis, perhaps to the point where sex isn't an option. But for many of them, sex is also a big part of the gameplan. I'm well aware my own approach isn't necessarily a healthy one, but for now at least it only seems to be affecting me.
So, what do people here think? Has the traditionally 'Aussie' modus operandi of getting blind drunk and picking up been replaced by a disenchanted bid to go hard on illicit substances? Obviously the former will never disappear, but maybe people who have done this sort of thing a bit longer will be able to offer some food for thought...
