The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

You didn't take much then. A very very small amount of MDMA will make sex more... um... let's say... 'connected' feeling with their partner, but beyond that it should make you totally useless sexually. A sufficient dose of MDMA will give men an oxytocin response similar to afemale orgasmwithout the sex, and you won't be very interested in the actual sex part, let alone actually able to get aroused. Only other explanation is that your oxytocin receptors were all burnt out from other drugs.

MDMA is a chick drug specifically because it acts on the parts of the brain most connected to the female sexual response.

Oxytocin and female sexuality. - PubMed - NCBI

Not a lot of research on MDMA due to being schedule I.

Making a bit of a hyperbolic leap on the man experiencing female orgasm part, but it's still mostly true. A sufficient dose of MDMA is the closest a man is going to get to experiencing something similar to female orgasm, because it's an oxytocin reaction that's completely unclouded by the testosterone present in normal male sexual response.

And molly dick is definitely a thing, not just in theory but from knowing way too many people who've expounded upon their molly dick stories at length. Or... not length as the case may be.

You're still making shit up. You link a review article that says oxytocin is related to sex and caring behaviors. News at 11. That means it makes men have something close to a female orgasm? Testosterone gets in the way of oxytocin's effect? What the fuck are you talking about?

Did you guys know some men's penis falls off during sex and trades with the female? Here's a link:French Immigrants To Israel Bring Part Of Home With Them : Parallels : NPR

Going back to The Wire, most of heroin stuff there was shit tier, it's basically street product downscaled to the bone. I recall them having issues selling their stuff since even extremely low to none income addicts called it shit (competition cut it less). Most of the time street level heroin is cut with caffeine, paracetamol, fentanyl or anything cheap. Cheminal interaction would make withdrawal harder, especially in a unhealthy environment.

I just thought it was kinda weird because crack played a pretty big role in The Corner from what I remember, and that show was basically The Wire's predecessor. I know H has had a resurgence in the US, but that was only after they cracked down on pharmaceuticals a few years back, whereas The Wire was early 2000's.

I don't know about chick drug, most of the massive pillheads I've known were guys, and women seem a lot more sensitive to the side effects. I remember when a bunch of us all tried it for the first time at a party in HS, all the guys were on the dancefloor for 3 or 4 hours while most of the girls took half a pill, threw up for 20 minutes and went home early. And looking back, a majority of the rave scene casualties I knew who ended up on antidepressants and tranquilizers by 25 were women, even though they got high less frequently and in lower doses than the guys. Although it could be that the guys are just more likely to keep self medicating with street drugs (which would account for the higher rates of long term addiction).

Also calling BS on the "female orgasm"thing - MDMA is just not a very sexual experience, unless you specifically take it alone with a partner, and even then, it's more of a touchy-feely emotional bonding thing than ''hnnnng I'm so horny.'' And if you're not alone with a partner, sex quickly becomes a very distant third to music and socializing. I think people just resort to the orgasm comparison because that's the most intensely pleasurable experience most people can relate to, same way they say "yeah heroin is like an orgasm x100" or whatever other BS when it's absolutely nothing like it.

Honestly, I'm otherwise not weed smoker at all, but imo if you want to enhance sex, it's far and away the best choice. It's like the munchies, but for fucking. But there's no drug that recreates the experience of even a regular orgasm, let alone a gender specific orgasm, or a super-orgasm, or whatever other BS.

I don't know about the female orgasm aspect of it, however, it does cause you to feel more connected with the other person. It also makes you lose your erection which makes guys take viagra with MDMA.

Find it funny that the way people are disagreeing with Mist's statement about female orgasms is by saying 'it makes you more connected with your partner and touchy-feely'.. that's basically what Mist said. Females experience orgasms differently, and for different reasons. They tend to be more gradual and build up. The experience of getting there is often almost as enjoyable as the orgasm itself. Have you never wondered why so many women talk about not having orgasms but still keep having sex, often with the same guy? Do you think guys would keep fucking the same girl if she never let him come?

Not saying whether Mist was right about X or not, just thought it funny that the argument against it showed a lack of understanding of the original statement.

I just finished my rewatch. The first half of season 5 is slow as shit, but it builds towards the end. Just started watching Homicide: Life on the Street. It's from like 93, and looks like bad home video. Is there a remastered version of it anywhere out there? Did all TV used to look that bad, and I've just forgotten?

Back to The Wire, something I don't think we've talked about is each seasons theme song. I think I'd have to rate them 3>4>1=2>>>5.

We probably should be talking about things that actually exist like the show The Wire and not things that don't exist like "female" "orgasms".


I like the Season1 themesong the best. I judged all the others against it. When you walk thru th garden!

I listened to every opening theme.

For seasons 1-3, I agree. The 1st season intro was appropriate. The second season seemed like they wanted to go "blacker" with an even more soulful rendition. The third season, while perhaps more contemporary, seemed a bit overworked.

Tom Waits is black as fuck dude.

Tom Waits' version is actually the original version. He wrote the tune.
