I guess you could call it drugs... definitely mood/mind altering. But in this environment I always saw it as no more than an addition to sex, like toys or lingerie. I personally have been doing this stuff off and on 30 years, depending on location and legality. I am a heterosexual and really dig this stuff, I am cautious of introduction w/ partners but I have yet to have a denial. In fact ladies who indulge in this stuff love it. But as the introducer you have an awesome responsibility, guide, instruct, nurture, and you have a recipe for a wonderful experience, but like anything, it could be negative... use boundries, just my 2 cents, love the vid!
