I didn't start smoking pot until I was 34 years old. (I was far too busy in my teens memorizing the lyrics to Stephen Sondheim's shows to bother with weed.) So I had been sexually active for nearly 20 years the first time I smoked pot. Stoned sex was a revelation. For a guy like me—someone with their fair share of hang-ups, body image issues, and, yes, sexual inhibitions—pot was very freeing. It helped me to do something that I had never been able to do on my own: It turned off that voice in my head that said, "You're not going to eat that, are you?"
So, yeah, get high and have sex. It's amazing—or it can be. Individual results may vary, of course, but pot can make you silly, it can make you playful, and it can put you in the moment. And, yes, it can give you the munchies. But chips aren't the only things a high person can munch on for hours.
