    Although a cigarette after sex is pretty damn sweet - I just never think of having them handy though!


    With no disrespect meant.

    Doesnt the need for a cig after sex suggest a void? :D

    Smoking is a void, the need for one was created by lighting that first yucky one. Taste dampened and your hooked. Thinkin it gave some clutch .

    Imo the sex itself should of wiped any need to need anything, At least for the next hour after :D

    Just a thought though .... hehe

    Oh no no NO! You know the few moments immediately after the shag when you're just overwhelmed with contentment? Well a ciggie helps to intensify that even more! It's awesome!

    AHaha. I admire your belief, but it DOESNT :)

    Its all illusion, your brainwashed into thinking it heightens it. When really it does the opposite. Without falling into a medical fact battle. Blood restriction, senses numbing, all comes after you smoke. So it does the opposite but your brain tricks you to think it makes it better.

    But hey what would i know. Im just a smoker :P

    I smoke, I've no wrinkles yet but at 35 I'm starting to get worried :D tbh I hate it, I'd love to quit but it's such a pain in the asre because everyone around me smokes, to have any success quiting I'd have to go into hiding for a month :rolleyes:

    Slaps with common sense! (I tried the run away route) :D

    Were you born with a smoke? If you were on the edge of a building 200 stories high and you seen a floating pack of cigs and you desprately needed one. Would you jump? ....

    Same scenario, your on the edge of building, you see a box containing everything you ever need in life to be successful, rich, good looking, healthy. Would you jump knowing once you had it you were fine?

    Stupid case, but the answer is NO and YES. Its not instinct to want smoke, its brainwashing which you can remove. IT IS instinct to want to survive, become sucessful, be healthy and good looking .

    The difference is clear. One we have from birth and always will need, the other , shoved in our head from birth and imprisons millons into thinking they need it.. My rants over! Phew

    No, it's rare I'd have a cigarette after sex as I always forget to have them handy (they're usually in the car). He's the same - only an occasional smoker.

    I suppose though "wait, I better run out and get my fags for afterwards" would be a bit of a passion killer :)

    :D


    I am curious as to the post sex smoking thing, best I can figure is that it's due to the act of sex increasing the pulse and so the rate of flow of blood, which means that the nicotine hits that much faster and harder.

    No I'm not a smoker, thankfully the parents aren't either so it was nice to grow up in a house without the smell. I was always getting offered them in school but was one of the strong ones to say no. I always notice the difference though when i'm out and i'm around people who do it and how much the smell can be around you afterwards. I couldn't go out with a guy that does it either.

    But i'm not being judgemental about it either. I've been around too many people that do it so if someone else wants to do it, that's their business - they are fully educated to know the consequences of it nowadays so it's their choice - just as it's my choice not to do it.

    Haven't smoked since August....and honestly socialise nocturnaly far less now.... happy to sip Capuchino's during the day nicotine free....but at night it's totaly different...

    Was only a day to day smoker for 3 or 4 years...now 29....but when I was out I could have 20 in 2 or 3 hours....could never stop at one...or even five...and used to go out not to drink...but to smoke!.... Miss that!....

    Funny thing is when I saw men smoking I didn't think it suited them....but something about being with 'girlie friends' and smoke..just made for great occasions....

    I despise smoking. I live with 3 smokers and all but 1 are considerate of my distaste for them. The other girl smokes in my face as I'm eating dinner, smokes where clothes are drying and leaves ashes and butts all over the house. My OH was a smoker, but gave up for me, as he knew he had no chance with me if he was a smoker.

    Inconsiderate bitches. Even though I smoke, I would NEVER be inconsiderate about it.

    I know - I had a row with her on Tuesday about it. The house smelt so badly of smoke I was too embarrassed to bring anyone in to it. The other 2 smokers smoke outside but this particular girl doesnt.

    I'm a smoker, used to be a pack a day gal. I tried to quit smoking in January but didn't get too far. I've tried the patche, the gum, the inhaler...just don't know what to try anymore. I do hate it with a passion and think it's so stinky and disgusting. Tomorrow I am going to get Allen Carr's quit smoking book...wish me luck!!

    PS: I have gone down to about 3 to 5 a day so mucho better!

    :confused:

    agh, that's awful nightwish, i used to live with two smokers, and while they were always considerate around food, we didnt really have anywhere to dry clothes outside, so my drying clothes were guaranteed toc ome out smelling like smoke, paritcularly given that htere was nowhere to dry stuff in my room. i used to just hang wet work clothes in my wardrobe and hope they dried in time, or sneakily use the washer and dryer at work for htem, but it really is annoying.

    I smoke, but I hate all that inconsiderate stuff, it's not even that nice to smoke inside! Smoke-eye goggles need to be invented before it'll ever be pleasent!
    I love me smokes, someday ill give up, cut back on drinking, no drugs, junk food and join a gym.
    Someday...

    That said, my teeth are white, I'm a skinny bastard, no health problems and still kinda fit! For now...

    I've only ever gone out with one girl that didnt smoke, and the Nagging is Headwrecking.

    "you know thats Killing you?"
    "you know it causes Pre-mature ageing"
    "what if i was pregnent, would you smoke around me then?" <--- we were 17 at the time

    I can Understand peoples Dislike of Smoking, But as a Single 22 yearold male, Its Damm easier to talk to women in the smoking area of a pub/nightclub.

    ha, my b/f is a smoker, and i wouldnt even dare to suggest he quit. as far as he's concerned, we can pry the cigarette from his cold dead hands... though he'd be quite happy if we left it there.

    I used to smoke but had to give it up because out of nowhere, i started to get badly affected by it. i miss the culture around it, miss ciggie breaks and missthe smoking itself. i was lucky enought to not be addicted though. now my social life is somewhat limited as i cant be in a room with smoke.

    i used smoke but only when i used drink. now that its all cut out thanks to the never ending nagging from the OH. caused major periods of silence between us twas nearly just easier to give up. although i have not smoked foe 6 months nearly when i leave work after a twelve hour shift i really really miss that smoke it used just make me so happy but now i chew lots and lots of gum.
