Substances and Cock Hero/Gooning

[PrimeSwitch]

Over the weekend, I decided to indulge in some substances of the Pink Floyd variety and enjoy porn. Never done it alone before, it's always been with friends so I've never had the opportunity to really porn out while tripping.

Naturally, my mental state gravitated towards trippy visuals and psytrance music. My normal Cock Hero lineup went out the window and I was COMPLETELY sucked in to watching Cock Hero Psytrance 1, 2, and 3 back to back. Then I found hours of gooning videos with trippy/mesmerizing visual effects that kept me in the zone for the rest of the night. I think I went at it and was stuck in the porn hole for about 9 hours total.

Totally awesome experience, and I feel like I really missed out on what everyone was on about when they talked about "gooning" and being in a mindless state. Figured I'd ask the community out there. Are there substances that you prefer? What do you prefer watching while on them?

[Ymerdrengen]

Omg yes!
I make an entire day out of it, trying to plan it out as much as I can. I live games, so I have turned it into a game with 6-8 CH I want to play and a dice. I set up rules and simply roll a die for what to do next.

For my next ‘play-day’ I’m playing CH Island this way, by first completing that series (I’m on the last episode) and rolling a die for CH Quest 1, CH Passion, and if they are done, Gooning software 2020 and Corrupted Castle 2. If I get through those or need a break I’ll probably have the Island collection looping in the background while playing games.

Oh and yeah, my substances are primary weed, N2O and perhaps a drink or two.

A couple of years ago I got home still tripping balls, hopped onto pornhub and randomly stumbled onto Canto I (having never watched any CH before). It was like I’d literally died and gone to heaven and all I wanted was more. Particular substances (plus weed obviously) and gooning to quality ’art’ is one of the best experiences that modern life has to offer, but just be careful not to overdo it because our minds really aren’t evolved for that intensity of stimulation.

I don't actually do any substances, but I *have* done plenty of hypnosis audios. You'd be amazed at what your brain can do without any extra additives. (And yes, hands-free no-contact full release absolutely is possible.)

Weed and estim if my favorite combo.

This really hits the nail on the head. I was experiencing some weird effects from the combination of tripping absolute balls and watching femdom videos that focus on worship/mesmerize/porn addiction. The visuals were insane, and I felt like absolute crap the next day from the drop in serotonin.

You're right, I have to do this sparingly because that seriously overloaded my brain. It overloaded it in the best way, and I fantasize about doing it again... just not so soon. Kinda scary.

Is there a particular strain you recommend for sessions like these? I gotta ease off the heavier stuff, so maybe some milder sessions with weed would be good.

I tried space cakes (self made with weed) and then porn with poppers.... I must say it is a nice experience - I mean fucking great one!!!!

basically you get slower and everything seems to take longer: I thought I was jerking off for 1h or so .... when in reality it took me 20 min.
I also must say that I have less control over myself (=less edging).

I also experience falling into videos of worship/goonig/porn addiction ..... I remember focusing on tiny details which would make me drift. epecially when I took poppers which made me more horny and also loose focus of where I was while enhancing the the porn experience

Sorry no, I tried to experiment a bit with indigo vs sativa and can recommend the latter, but beyond that I’m not sure.

I get the same experience, just with N2O instead of poppers, but with the added ‘bonus’ of being able to edge almost indefinitely with N2O. Highly recommend the combination, but as always, enjoy in moderation.
For the reason about details a good story really gets me going, it tickles my creative side and my mind continues the story while I’m getting more and more immersed. For the same reason The weed+N2O combination work well with erotic hypnosis.

I've watched a lot of porn while tripping on various substances. My videos are kind of made for that (I pretty much make them with the view on how I want to trip in a sexual "journey".

Mostly weed plus poppers. You have to be careful not to overdo the latter or things kind of go a little soft. Spacing hits out is the key.

Some folks do MDMA, which is not my thing. Not so easy to remain hard, and the comedown the next day is awful and not worth it in my experience. What I do take sometimes is 2C-B, which has been described as a combination of LSD and MDMA, without being really similar to either (if that makes sense). So there's some psychedelic visuals, plus good feelings too. Importantly though, it's an aphrodisiac. Taking some makes you VERY horny, and in a spiritual kind of way.

I don't advocate this stuff, by the way. Make sure you're properly informed and think carefully before you make the decision to partake.

This is an interesting subject for me. When I was first exposed to weed, I was slightly terrified of it. It was enjoyable, but in the settings I was using it it made me paranoid. Everything changed once I realized that it made masturbation feel better. This discovery was around the same time that I found these videos. In a way, this was the first time I wholly enjoyed the drug.

However this weed/porn combination has also been a source of negativity in my life. I have smoked weed almost every day for the past ~5 years or so (apart from a few breaks here and there). And my primary motivation to do so comes from a feeling that if I engage in sexual activity without it, I am missing out. I am now coming to terms with the negative impact that has had on me.

At first it wasn't all the time, I would save it for special occasions. I would use it as a way to make the cock hero vids more difficult/more stimulating. Eventually I got to the point where it was all the time. I moved out of my parents house and had fewer restrictions/more freedoms.

Now I've started to realize the impact of this behavior and I'm making attempts to modify it. I no longer need weed to sleep, and I have more control over myself in terms of masturbation/porn. I don't prescribe to the idea that I need to stop my behavior completely. Everything has negatives and positives.

Weed aside, I have attempted to masturbate while coming down from a shroom trip. I believe I had one of the flux dance series on my phone at the time, and I couldn't sleep (it was like 4-5am). All in all, it was difficult to cum, and I found the material stimulating but at the same time I was unphased by the illusion of the porn, if that makes sense. I would not recommend a high dose of shrooms for pure sexual purposes (maybe if you're connecting with another person).

I have also microdosed shrooms before and this was actually more preferable sexuality wise. In a way, it was close to ritalin/adderall (high stamina, more control).

What I do take sometimes is 2C-B, it's an aphrodisiac. Taking some makes you VERY horny, and in a spiritual kind of way.

I am now interested in microdosing this chemical, though personally I am kind of afraid of chemicals people have made vs chemicals that come from nature. My perspective on psychedelics is that they shouldn't be used for fun, they should be used to provide greater understanding of self and the cosmos.

Lastly, I have also taken the mushroom supplement cordyceps militaris. It is kind of like caffeine and after taking it for a few days it improves testosterone (fuller erections, rage, energy, etc). You can purchase this on Amazon. Fair warning, if you are prone to anxiety it will make that worse. Conversely, do not take lion's mane supplements (although they improve dreams, they reduce testosterone, at least they did in me). I think that testosterone is the ultimate "substance" in this regard, and that pursuing it is pursuing life.

Microdosing 2C-B may not really summon up much in the way of psychedelic experiences. You might get horny though, this was in fact the original use if that drug (and at those doses). Generally though, the psychedelic experience of 2C-B is nowhere near as intense as, say, LSD. It's more easygoing, and you can "snap out" of it at will. There's no comedown either (at least from my experience). 2C-B is not so easy to go nuts with. You have to space out the times you take it (at least a week but preferably a lot more), otherwise you won't feel much. Your mind and body has to "reset". I wait three months.

I'm interested in this cordyceps militaris you mentioned. Looks like something one can easily obtain at a health food store. Is it something you take regularly as a daily supplement?

[lighthammer]

I don't think I could ever take LSD and masturbate more than one time to one or two videos. I can't picture that for me. I like porn on stimulants like amphetamines or cocaine the best.

I am now coming to terms with the negative impact that has had on me.

I've been a practically daily smoker for around 20 years. Early on when in college, yeah, the tendency to overdo and develop that psychological crutch is strong. Everything takes on a new or fresh look when you're starting out and lots of people incorporate it into a habit of toking before you do anything.

As you've learned - and as have I - there are negative consequences to engaging in a habit this way. Really, any habit in this way can be damaging to health and happiness, weed isn't an exception.

For many, the particular strain, timing, or environment can have wildly different results. Sativas make me edgy, ramp up my ADHD, and come with a "crash". This is ultimately because of the dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin triggers and reuptake responses in the brain - same with indicas but the different combination and amounts of these hormones produce in most, a more lethargic, couch-locked, daydreamy state. But being "locked in your own head" is a scary environment for people prone to anxiety, impulsive, or compulsive feelings. What it comes down to is that weed isn't for everyone, and a smoker should be conscious of what the strains and effects are, that they are using.

Anyway. Habit forming is something we do as humans, and the best thing to make sure your weed use isn't habitual is to be aware of how much and how often. For me, I grind a gram a day and that's all; whatever use I intend, it's limited and I don't have the availability to just chain smoke myself stupid. If I want to goon out when my partner is on her cycle and at work all day, then I know I can't do a wake and bake or won't be able to get stoned for video games or go take a mellow hike with the dog. Additionally and not to get to much into disorders - I use weed mostly to mitigate specific issues from ADHD*. So straight away burning an entire gram in one sitting, means if I have something I need to tune into and focus later, I'm shit outta luck. Keeping weed as a medical option in mind, has been the most effective way I have to prevent habitual and increasing use.

All that said...sometimes when it's a rainy weekend and I've got fuck all to do, I'll get baked. I don't drink, so call it akin to going out with friends to the pub for rounds and getting a lift home.

*I've found it excellent for turning down the volume in my brain. One of the many, mind-flaying effects of the disorder is the inability to "tune out" stimuli. It's all coming in at us, all the time, and our brains lack a certain functionality to prioritize or sort incoming stimulus. We have to make a super-conscious effort to hone in on any one source, and even that isn't guaranteed to stay connected. It's like this: Most people have a dam with a hundred outlets that they can open and close as needed to regulate the flow coming at them. With ADHD, some of those outlets are stuck open or closed, others open/close with no control, and the button you press to make it work will randomly choose a dozen at once. Weed - indicas for me - slows the flow to a trickle, and makes the whole scene less chaotic. This affects the comorbid general anxiety and mitigates the constant "stress mode" the brain defaults to. Regarding porn use and weed in the ADHD brain, it's the same huge dopamine hit, but also easier to stay focused instead of wandering off into "did I pay that water bill 3 months ago?" territory.

It is something that can be taken daily or acutely, depending on dosage. Most of the time it comes in capsules that have mycelium combined with rice substrate. You can break the capsules and drink it in a tea for faster absorption. YMMV, but it can makes my anxiety worse. I feel like I can't sit still, it makes me feel like I need three times as much exercise. Studies have shown that it improves tuberculosis recovery in mice, and I believe that has something to do with blood oxygenation.

After taking a low dose for several days I notice improved testosterone. It seems to take about 18-24 hours to have this effect (probably due to the time it takes for my body to produce more). This being said, I am not a scientist and I have noticed that I am overly sensitive to drugs and changes in my body compared to others.

For many, the particular strain, timing, or environment can have wildly different results. Sativas make me edgy, ramp up my ADHD, and come with a "crash".

I live in an area where I can't go to the store and select strains, consumption is decriminalized but not commercially available. I am at the mercy of whatever the dude has in the jar at the time. His product comes sealed from legal areas with labels and information, but we only get a selection of 3 or 4 strains a month. Generally these are hybrids/indica dominant.
