  • would you ask your lover to do it? would you want them to?

    I think that's a crucial thing, too. Lots of "long suffering" spouses and lovers (I see long suffering a lot, and while I wish I had a lot more sex than I do, I don't know if I'm actually Suffering. Aren't the people of Darfur suffering? Am I just not getting laid?) might want their partners to have more sex drive. But I bet they would be very very uncomfortable a) broaching this subject, b) finding out their lover uses it. We want to be wanted, and knowing it's "just the drugs talking" would make a lot of us deeply uncomfortable. Turned off, even. I'm sure as hell not thinking it's a good idea to say, "Hey honey. THey have this new inhalant that makes you want to have sex. Maybe we can talk about getting some." Ugh.
