Colorado Directory

[Felicia4411]

I had no idea there was a Colorado directory on here. I was always looking for people from Colorado who posted on Lit and never thought to look in The Playground until now. Just wanted to say hi to all the fellow Coloradoans here.

 

[SlyFox]

Welcome

Hi Felicia... Welcome to the thread. Glad you found us. Where in Colorado are you located? If you scroll back a few pages in the thread you'll see that some of us are planning a get together at Swankys Bar and Grill near Coors Field Saturday the 22nd of Feb. Come join us and meet some of Colorado Lit. crew... It should be fun.

Welcome

Indeed - welcome to the board. I'm (obviously) new not only to this board, but to the lit boards in general. Felicia, I like your avatar a lot... and Cricketbug... I LOVE your avatar! Wow ...

At any rate.

Hi

New discussion topic - Sex and Alcohol

Well the last topic I posed for discussion among our group seemed to go over fairly well, so I thought of another.

I'd like to know what people's thoughts are on how sex relates to drinking. I know a lot of people use alcohol as a tool to get themselves/others to have sex when they wouldn't otherwise... I know I've had sex with people that had I been sober, I probably wouldn't have... but is this a good thing? Or something to avoid? Also... why does alcohol make people want to have sex more? Simply because it lowers our inhibitions, or is also an aphrodisac? Dosen't seem like an aphrodisiac to me... :-/

I know this isn't quite as innocent a topic as my last one, but I thought it would be interesting and fun, and I figure many people can probably relate to it.

Looking forward to meeting y'all.

I personally don't like the effect that excessive amounts of alcohol have on me (and anything more than two drinks is excessive for me - which is why I'm almost always the "designated driver" ) My wife, on the other hand, gets pretty frisky after two or three glasses of wine. I kid her that if anyone gives her a couple hefty shots of Harvey's Bristol Creme she'll "follow them anywhere"... And there's some truth to that.

I don't think that alcohol is an "aphrodisiac" to any degree at all, although it is proven to lower one's inhibitions to some extent. But for me, anyone who is "smashed out of their goard" is a total turn off - I don't care how gorgeous they are otherwise. And taking sexual advantage of someone who is plastered is tantamount to rape - no matter how willing the "drunk" person appears to be. And drunk males - even those who are just "intoxicated" usually are unable to perform adequately - either for themselves OR their partners.

I don't have a problem with a moderate intake of alcohol that leads to a satisfying sexual experience for all parties involved, but it's not my "recreational drug" of choice; even though I can get pretty silly if I exceed my own self-imposed limits. Any more than that and I just get plain stupid and no fun to myself or anyone around me. Give me a "toke of smoke" any day...

My 2 cents worth

Thanks for the warm welcome Slyfox, Fulvius. I'm in LaPorte, Colorado. It's a pretty small town and most people have no idea where it is. It's about 5 miles North of Fort Collins, so about 65 miles North of Denver. My husband also posts on Lit (not nearly as much as I do) and I'll have to let him know about this thread and also about your upcoming meeting.

As far as alcohol and sex go I have to agree with Slyfox. Once in a while I like to go out and drink until I feel pretty good but usually at that point I really don't have any desire to have sex, I tend to want to just relax and talk with my friends. So alcohol has never been something I've used to get in the mood. A drunk person is not really a turn-on for me, especially if I haven't really been drinking. The smell of it on their breath is enough to usually turn my stomach and destroy any sexual thoughts. I do know some people who are more willing to have sex when they're drunk and I think it's just like you said Fulvius, it lowers their inhibitions.

OK ok Maybe Im a dumb 22 year old

Drunk sex sucks that is for sure, but I think sex when you are tipsy can be a lot of fun. I don't know if it's really because you lose inhibitions or if it allows a person to have an excuse later when people ask. " Oh no I was drunk when we had sex" type of thing. I actually like the added loseness that comes with having a good buzz and sex.

Hi y'all!

Alcohol isn't one of my big things anymore...let's just say that i got WAY too plowed on my 21st birthday (in 1999), and I don't really drink enough to get drunk anymore, just to relax and have fun. However, it can be a nice mood relaxer and let down the inhibitions (english major tries to remember how to spell!)

Felicia4411 -- I know where Laporte is. Hell, I grew up in Wiggins! *chuckles* Nice to meetcha

 

[fulvius]

Sex and alcohol

Yeah, I just like drinking a lot. I don't have a problem with drunk sex, either - obviously it's not gonna be mind-shattering, considering you can't do anything well when you're drunk, but... yeah.

Still, for the really good sex, I'd wanna be stone-cold-sober. Just like I always wanna be completely sober when writing poetry or music.

p.s. On the subject of drinking, has anyone ever heard of a red bull and whiskey? I tried it the other day, and It's really good - who says whiskey isn't for mixed drinks

*looks around like he said something he shouldn'tve*



Countin' down the days till we all meet...

 

[asianid]

I would like to thank cricketbug for letting me know about this place. On the subject of alchohol and sex, I don't think a few drinks makes a differnece for me. But I definitely don't wan't to be drunk and having sex.

 

[cricketbug]

*waves HI to everyone*

BUMP!

 

[Felicia4411]

So where in Colorado are most of you guys from?

I just got back from Colorado Springs...my husband's parents live up there so we drive up every couple months. I absolutely hate the drive up, so glad to be home.

Under 30 group

BBWDenver was telling me about a lit thread she started for young adults. Sounds cool - I don't know the address - you should tell the Colorado board about it, or put a link to it in your signature.

My Boyfriend drinks red bull and Jack Danials... I think it tastes like spiced up apple juice.. It is really good...

 

[SlyFox]

Welcome

SlyFox

 

[Felicia4411]

So we're all somewhat near each other. Cricketbug~I've heard of Wiggins but never been there.
My husband went to bartending school up in Denver...he was just telling me a few weeks ago about how Red Bull mixed with a hard alcohol is getting pretty popular, I've never tried any though.

 

[asianid]

What's going on this weekend? I must not be paying attention.

 

[cricketbug]

Asianid
