It used to be, when we had kids who needed putting to bed, we’d take the weed just before bedtime, then depending on how long it took to read the books and snuggle the cats and get the kid to sleep, we might not have to wait too long before play began. Bedtime toward the end there was around 9:30, if I recall, so the weed might kick in around 11:30 (this is when we were doing tinctures that took longer to take effect). Sometimes it took longer. In any case, we were fucking late at night and for 3, 4, 5 hours.
Later, when bedtime was only saying goodnight and nobody was going to bed any earlier than us, we’d try to time things so that it would kick in right around bedtime (at this point, it was OUR bedtime, the kid went to bed really late). I could more or less act normal, at least I thought so, so I wasn’t worried about getting high in front of anyone else, but my wife would get way too self-conscious and would say “should we head to the bedroom?” when she started feeling less competent, and I knew what she meant.
So the other night we’re out here watching TV in the same room as before, but we’re empty nesters now so there are no kids, and she says “should we head to the bedroom?” and I guess I was a little high already because it seemed like the absolute funniest thing and I said “Sweet, there’s no should anymore!” Right? I mean we could now fuck right in front of the TV. But there really is no should anymore, there are no rules.
An aspect of this, that was happening before I understood why, is that while we’re playing more nights in an average week, it’s not usually 4 hours before we wrap it up. Maybe 2-2.5? We start earlier, too, so bedtime is around 1am many nights, rather than 3:30am. Which means we can get up easier and work that day, which means we can get high and play again sooner. Which means we’re addicts now because we can fuck every night, basically, and we get high when we fuck.
Anyway I’ve been working on this post for like a month and none of the new ideas I’m getting for the next post will fit with it, so this one is done.
