Who taught you sex is a drug? As long as words mean their definitions, it's categorically not. Plus it's probably kinda harmful to pile on the stigma already surrounding sex by conflating it with drugs and all the stigma that comes with that.

Hopefully I'm wrong, but it's kinda giving a nofap pseudoscience red flag to me.

Parents definitely should be teaching their kids about this stuff at the appropriate time, but they should stick to the facts.

First they came for the sex, then they came after the drugs. Now they’re trying to take my rock and roll

I've heard music is a drug, too. It was all drugs, all along. We probably should've known, honestly.

Life is a drug if you hit it right

Did you know that rock and roll is actually a plate of spaghetti?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Spaghetti = Carbs = Sugar = Addictive Drug

yeah but I lost my poor meatball.

A fellow Bread Harrity super fan I see? I'd like to get all up in that beautiful man's wet spaghetti 🍝

Lol I bet your comment confused them, that line is originally from that On Top of Spaghetti song and it was repurposed by Bread in his classic number The Meatballs the Meatballs the Meatballs the Meatballs the Meatballs the Meatballs of Liiiife. I love Bread. I'm a huge Breadhead and Bread can get all up in my guts any time.

Is being high without the approval of your partner okay?

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I guess that depends very much on your partner and the relationship you have together..

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

and if it's pretty much a stranger?

[–] Petter1@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

I would say, that that would be ok 🤔 at least in my personal opinion

I mean... it is a rush of dopamine and can become addictive. Same as a videogame or gambling though. Not a drug but can get unhealthy if it leads to maladaptive daily functioning.
