The Mysteries of Gabapentin
• Misc
Richard and myself have carefree but careful attitude towards drugs. We hardly ever take drugs when we’re together but aren’t shy to experiment on occasion. We both enjoy weed from time to time but that is inappropriate for BDSM because it tends to make me very affectionate, tactile and dreamy. Gabapentin, or Neurontin as it was labelled, is used as a mood stabilizer and to fight some types of pain such as migraine. We tried it and found it made us very talkative and energetic, and we stayed up late until the morning. It sharpened my senses and made dancing feel more fun, and it made joints interesting for me :). It was useful to combat lack of sleep for both of us, when we needed it, and it was a bit like speed, with some pleasant feelings, but no ‘rush’. It made me feel very creative, too.
It wasn’t long before we found another interesting effect from the drug - it never failed to make me feel very dominant within minutes of taking it, no matter what my prior mood was. It also helped Richard with his role as richard, giving him more strengh and focus.
One night/morning, while both under the influence of stated substance, I gave him such a spanking that when I woke up (the next afternoon) my hand was quite badly bruised. I think in retrospect it may have boosted up his pain threshold, which is high anyway. It almost felt impossible to break him, but I had enough energy to keep trying. This raises some safety implications, since you could cause more harm than you realize, though that didn’t happen because I’m always cautious about that.
We had a lot of good times this way, but eventually it started to get more complicated, and the goldmine ran dry. I became annoyed that I was using a substance to get right into Domme Space quickly, and it felt a bit too easy. Eventually the drug had less of a ‘focussing’ effect on us but instead made us hazy. The situation started to feel forced but I knew that without the Gabapentin I would be dominant less times, since it was a ‘cheat switch’ which could effortlessly turn it on.
We don’t have any now which is definately a good thing, since eventually it caused more trouble than it’s worth.
I do not recommend doing any BDSM activity under the influence of drugs unless you feel very familiar with all of the parameters involved and are with someone that you have a good trust bond with.
