Experiences - First Ecstasy use (inside a strip club)

[Rosco2]

This fell into my iguana's inbox

Nothing's more enjoyable to me than the ladies, and since there are no raves going on, I decided to go to a strip club for my first-ever Xtasy experience.

Lots of mutual touch-feely in Columbia, Missouri strip clubs.

I put the orange-colored big-eared monkey pill under my tongue at 9:20 PM. I thought it would dissolve quickly sublingually, but it was taking too long, so after perhaps 15 or 20 minutes, I swallowed the remaining one-half to three-quarters of the pill.

I could feel my heart rate increase shortly after placing the small round pill under the tongue, but the mental effects didn't seem to kick in until over an hour later, maybe 90 minutes later, not sure.

I definitely felt different, a little more confident and enthused, but I was disappointed that I didn't seem to feel a large increase in empathic feelings that X is known for. Also, it wasn't a mind-shattering, earth-moving experience that some have reported. I don't know if this is because my pill was deficient somewhat (ie., lower dose of MDMA or more MDA or MDE)--or maybe it's just a case of some folks' brains being more resistant to MDMA's effects?

I enjoyed the increased confidence, but was hoping for more.

I enjoyed the 10 or so lap dances I got from some very beautiful ladies, and was definitely getting turned on sexually by them while under the pill's influence, which kind of confuses me a little. I thought I read that X really isn't a sexual drug, but more of a hugging, non-sexual love and empathy drug. Like I said I didn't feel a great explosion in empathy, and I don't attribute my being turned on to the ladies to the pill, but just to natural internal sexual feelings, wholly apart from the pill.

When I went to bed about 3:30 AM (6 hours from taking the drug), I found it extremely hard to get to sleep. I was awake in bed for over an hour, maybe as much as 75 or 90 minutes. Usually I get to sleep very fast with no trouble.

I woke up a couple times during the night with sweat on my forehead, even though it was not hot in the room (the temperature was the same as any other night).

Could my brain just be resistant to MDMA? Are there many folks like that? Or might something else have been at work, like too low a dose of MDMA in the pill and/or more MDA / MDE, etc.?

One final thing: the last drug I took was 25 milligrams of Percocet 5 days earlier, if that makes a difference. That was my first opiate experience, and yesterday was my first X experience. I hope to try LSD next.
