Jerry Stahl on sex and heroin
Another of my favorite writers, Jerry Stahl, offers a creepy, funny look at sex and heroin, sex on heroin and sex while kicking heroin. "That's the thing about sex and heroin: it takes work to get you hard, but once you are, it takes an A-bomb to get you soft again. And coming, whatever that is, is pretty much out of the question. After the brain-splattering ecstasy of a serious dope rush, orgasm is redundant." (From 1999, labeled "Classic Nerve" here.)
