More Blood for the Blood Chalice

Vet for high risk play. If you don't have the utmost trust in someone, control what you're putting in your own body and know where it all came from.

Check for interactions. Yes, this means sharing complete information about whatever medications the person getting drugged is on. No, the interactions are not always intuitive. Yes, this includes things like alcohol. Ideally, ask your doctor about interactions with whatever you're about to play with- they're trained in spotting interactions, you're probably not.

If you've checked the interactions yourself, assume you might have missed something. Even if you've gotten your doctor to check, be aware they might have missed something. I once caught a potassium deficiency issue in someone's existing medication that their doctor prescribed them.

ROUND 1- Use it for its own sake before you play with it. Spend the time together and set yourself up for success: easy access to food, water, comfort media, and comfortable places to sit and lie down. Know how long it should last. Get someone who's used it before to tripsit if you can. Don't give yourself any tasks that involve new skills. Be ready to offer yourself or your partner a redirect from negative or anxious trains of thought.

Know what a good time on your drug physically looks and feels like. This is crucial, because things might go sideways in a way you're not expecting. Don't just be watching for specific signs of an overdose (though those are worth keeping in mind too)- if something seems wrong, get help. Seconds matter and you're probably not a professional.

Similarly: if the drug is at all sedative, or a downer, or long-lasting, and they're unconscious before it's out of their system, check for breathing and check for pulse. Also, your risk profile is your own, but I don't fuck around with hard sedatives- there's too fine a line between which body systems they shut down.

Start with a low-to-standard dose, and adjust doses for any relevant interactions (e.g. estradiol approximately halves liver tolerance [alcohol, weed, diphenhydramine], SSRIs approximately double psychedelic tolerance).

In order to avoid dependence issues, I wait a default of two weeks between recreational uses of any drug. (I only count caffeine here if I'm having more than two cups of tea in a day.)

ROUND 2- Play with it scripted and above board before you play with it in an explicitly cnc way. Your communication and mental state will have shifted, and you'll need to learn to accommodate that; make sure you try things out without added communication barriers first. Also, make sure to talk about how everything went afterwards when you're both sober!

If you're going to adjust doses, do it slowly and carefully. Most easily accessible recreational drugs can be incremented by half the standard dose. Some drugs are incredibly sensitive to fine adjustments; this is why Fentanyl, for example, is so dangerous and not recommended to use.

ROUND 3- Don't get comfortable. Try to have as peaceful and relaxed an experience as you want, and keep an eye on things as you play with different emotional states- but DEFINITELY continue to keep an eye on safety. It doesn't stop being a concern because you've done it once and everything went fine.

Alcohol is not only a factor: its one of the worst offenders for having numerous dangerous interactions.

If someone becomes unconscious unexpectedly you also need to roll them on their side in case they vomit. Do not leave them alone until they are through it.

SSRIs may cause drugs not to work, but that doesn't make it safe to take more. Seratonin syndrome is deadly, and it will hurt the whole time.

MAOIs have similar risks

Many over the counter cold medicines include DXM which act on seratonin and carry similar risks. (In general, don't mix things that inhibit seratonin with things that generate excess seratonin.)

Erowid.org is your friend: they have dose amounts, onset times, interaction information as well as detailed accounts of others experiences.

Dancesafe.org is your friend. They have test kits, narcan, and a wealth of other harm reduction tools.

You look over at the girl you have taped to a chair for the first time since you started honing the knife half an hour ago. "Comfortable sweetheart?" Your panties in her mouth muffle most of whatever reply she might have had and the duct tape does the rest. The power drill you used to bolt her arm to the table sits next to the first aid kit, you'll need both once lop off her finger. Her pinky is the only part of her body not perfectly immobilised, it sticks out looking vulnerable.

You vacate your seat at the other end of the table, casually flipping the enormous knife around your knuckles. She does a valiant job of keeping her breathing even but you can smell her adrenaline fuelled sweat, you can see her dilated pupils darting about, you fancy you can even hear the staccato beat of her heart.

The fresh white tablecloth gets its first blood stain as you rest the cleaver on her first knuckle. The keen edge and weight of the blade alone is enough to part her flesh. "Keep very still" you warn her, raising the cleaver high. She screams. The once white tablecloth gets a host of new stains.

You guys get to deny me cummies.. every note on this post is another day of denial for me.

I've been told to keep it open for two weeks, starting today.

Which means February 18th is when this will be closed.

You're sharp in the ways that I enjoy being hurt by, but you're also really gentle when I need that too.

You're paitent and understanding of my brainweird, and you give us direction when we would otherwise flounder.

I'm so happy I get to be so physically affectionate with you, and that we get to enjoy these lifestyle dynamics together, that we click together in such a nice way.
