That seems to be the perfect setting, Metanoia.
One of Shuglin's most sought-after qualities in novel psychedelics was their ability to increase sexual stimulation (and one of the reasons why he loved more sensual ones such as 2c-b).
Dr. Shulgin was a very smart man.
Some say that LSD (the classic coke of this fairy tale family) increases sexual stimulation while others say it diminishes sexual activity and vasoconstriction can inhibit ability to form erections in some males while others have no problem with this. As always i'm interested to learn more about it. IMO experience I find that, with LSD, I find it impossible to fully embrace erotic feelings without being overwhelmed by how funny and fluffy those feelings of hypocritical species-preservation are and just laugh at them (see sticky situation for further reference) on the peak, but often feel an uptick in erotic desire and sociability around 6 hours post ingestion.
Personallly, I never found lysergamides to be particularly erotic or sexual until Psykinetic and I made the leap from best friends to much more, and now I can't fathom seeing them differently.
You know those special breakthroughs when you merge with the divine and cry from the beauty of the overwhelming love you become one with? That is pretty similar to where I go with him. It's like the heaven dimension opens up.
A Samuel Coleridge poem Psykinetic sent me sums it up perfectly:
Where true Love burns Desire is Love's pure flame;
It is the reflex of our eartlhy frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart.
If I may ask, how does ETH-LAD's alteration of the erotic differ from other Lysergamides when consumed in an intimate environment?
ETH-LAD heightens body sensations in a very non-lyserge way. It's incredibly MDMA like, and I have not experienced that with the others.
If possible, may you include a more detailed write-up of your experience with this molecule? I am interested to know what the set and setting were at the time of ingestion and how they changed throughout the course of experience.
I'm not too big on writing up the internal specifics of my trips, except for in my personal journal. It's just so sacred and special, and language somehow fails to do it justice. With this trip in particular, most of the external happenings would belong on a totally different kind of site :lol: , but I can give you the first hour.
I finished getting my sons fed, the little one in bed watching a movie before falling asleep around 8:30. I let Psy know I was ready to begin.
We both lit candles and incense on our alters, changing our rooms into our temples. We placed the sacrament on the alter and set our intention, and away we dropped.
I like to spend comu-up on my porch swing out front, watching the big trees out front for the first signs of heightening senses. Psy and I talked about us, the course of our relationship, our plans to get a little house with some land 10 miles out of town, build a greenhouse, fire pit, workshop for his art...rolling around in the grass in the sunshine...lovely little things like that.
I spent the rest of the trip indoors in my temple room, and the specifics begin to be to personal to share.
Also, may you further elaborate on how it is different from other ergotamines (i.e. LSD, 1p-LSD, AL-LAD, LSA, etc)? You mentioned that AL-LAD is on the opposite end of the spectrum from ETH-LAD-how is this so and which characteristics make them opposites? How does it compare to 1p/LSD in terms of visuals (i.e. are they exactly similar, more sparkly, etc) and how does body load/mindfuck compare to the others? I
I haven't taken LSD since somewhere around 2003-2004, and prior to that is was in the 90's, and quite frankly these lab grade, fresh novel lysergamides have been paling the quality of that acid in comparison.
1P-LSD has been completely clean, clear, absolute perfection in my experiences. It has beutiful rolling, glittering visuals, no mind fuck (though I believe it could be possible, depending on the person taking it). In my experiences, it seems to allow me to experience the Now exactly as it is, samadhi like. I've used 100ug, 200ug, and 300ug doses.
AL-LAD is like a walk through a carnival fun house...it might be a bumpy ride. :shock: It's almost DMT like in visuals and intensity. It was incredibly open eyed visual, with more computer like visuals compared to the more natural visuals of 1P or ETH. Psykinetic isn't necessarily a hardhead, but he goes in deep with psychedelics, and he lost touch with his body and merged with the net of being on 300ug. The thread here on the Nexus reports many people experiencing mind fuck, and I don't doubt this one's potential for that at all. I'm not in a rush to go in with this one again. I've just done one 300ug dose. Words of caution- start with 150ug and vigilantly watch yourself of mind fuck!!
ETH-LAD is extremely gentle, without being weak. Like I mentioned, there is very little mental trip. Very 1P like visuals, gently rolling, natural-type stuff. The body sensitivity is totally unlike the other novel lysergamies. For me, this was the slowest to develop after consumption, and lasted the longest. She's a warm blanket of love.
ATM I'm debating as to whether I should attempt it in one or the other (300ug if alone, 150 if in a romantic environment as all reports reporting erotic stimulation seem to involve 150ug.)
Start with 150ug. These are relatively unresearched novel compounds, and you need to work your way up. I learned my lesson starting with the AL-LAD at 300ug. I had a good trip, but in thinking about it in the following weeks, I see that it was dangerous and stupid to start at that dosage. I got lucky.
