As far as what I meant by "Sex tripping"... I never did LSD/acid to speak of... But the effect meth had on my sex drive was what I considered to be a TRIP like feeling...

I become obsessed and consumed with the thought of sex & search for some sort of sexual atmosphere or antics if you will...

It wasn't so much about actually having sex with anybody... and I can't say it had anything remotely resembling

love making or tenderness... it was...

Thank you everybody for the Congrats. Six years ago I couldn't imagine stringing together 365 days but here I am.

Robert part of how I managed to do it involved not drinking alcohol either, that's an important element in my staying clean.
I thought the support of other clean & sober people that I met in the rooms of AA/NA/CMA helped me stick to making staying clean my number 1 priority. We are not alone and theres strength in numbers.

Robert I know you...

Starfishie,

Sex trippin' probably means different things to different groups o' people. For ONE example, my version of sex trippin' would be different from that of a single, sexually active gay male. Sorry to be so generic.

I can, however, relate to you & your hubby's experience regarding the difference between a jolly good romp and tender/ emotionally charged love-making. Except mine went to a pathological extreme after he was...

Since the thread is entitled "sex...," one more little personal question for any takers: Is it "great sex" or "great love-making" while on meth? For me, (and I know some others here will understand what I mean,)...

I can speak for myself when I say that the ability to function sexually on meth was not hindered. At all. Viagra doesn't increase the sex drive.

Wow, six years! Congratulations Lax, and I am so glad you are here.

About the sex: What about those little blue pills? I guess it's not quite the same though, huh?

Actually, on the videos that Lady put up for us, the narrator said that meth causes a paradoxical issue with sex: The sex drive is heightened, but the ability to function is lessened. Any comments on that? If not, I completely understand,

Thanks for the topic. Sex is the major problem I have now that I'm clean over a year, I still miss great sex and can't get motivated for sexual activity. I feel like I'm free from slavery. Freedom trumps great sex. Barely. I hope in another five years, I have some palpable sex drive...but then I'll be 56. Hopefully, freedom will continue to win out over a good time...

Actually... as of today it has been six years since I have used any Meth... And I am Glad of that.

I can't say I never want to be using it, but I just don't think of it as an option.

Meth is bad. I haven't seen many people celebrating their clean dates lately so I thought I would

share mine... 5/8/2002 was a 1/8-ball of my life ago... 72 months that have in some ways seem to have flown by,

yet their are some things about it that I still...
