I once touched an uncut penis. I was appalled and disgusted and immediately excused myself and raced down three 4 narrow flights of stairs to just make it to the stoop where I vomited over the railing. I then had a grand mal seizure and it was the tenant in the basement apartment who took pity on me and stepped over my vomit and tended to me and called an ambulance. It was the most traumatic sexual experience of my life.

For food, nopales at a Mexican restaurant. It was such a weird experience. It was a new food to me, and I was fine with it at first. Somehow, as I continued eating my torta, this feeling of disgust and nausea starting creeping over me. I had to stop eating it. It wasn't a flavor or texture thing. I still don't know why, but for the rest of the day and part of the next, every time I thought of it, I felt like throwing up. Never again.

Back in the 70s, I shot up cocaine once just to try it. A friend of mine had already been doing it and he talked me into it. I stole one of my Dad's unused diabetic needles and a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. What a nerd LOL! Anyway after he shot me up I immediately stood up and stood against a tree because I thought I had to piss, then blacked out. Not worth it at all.

Skiing. I tried it New Years Eve weekend in 2019 and ended up hurting myself very badly. As in concussion, cracked rib, whiplash. Took a month to begin to feel normal again, I was on muscle relaxers because of the spasming in my ribs. They had the snow pipe up without baffling around it, and I fell and was rolling down the hill fast and rolled into the pipe. I realized too late that I could have sued due to the lack of baffling. But the between those contracts they have you sign and the statute of limitations being one year, I was out of luck. I have not been nearly as active or athletic since that accident. Skiing is fucking dangerous. People get hurt and die skiing. I will never ski again.

Same, R42. I don't get physically addicted to anything (though I've never tried hard drugs). I smoked a few cigarettes a day for years without increasing much until this year--went up to 5 or 6 a day this summer--then suddenly decided to drop it and had no problem quitting. I might pick it up again after the election to cope. I have a feeling I'm going to need a crutch.

Foods, definitely.

I have a wide range of food tastes but like meat in moderate portions and divorced and preferably in an abstract state from its bestial beginnings: no meat on the bone; no sucking the fatty gristly stuff from chicken feet; no goat's eyes carved out with an ulu; no animal skin, tongue, organs... Seafood, however, is entirely different (except fish heads and fish bones.) No deer, no bison, no rattlesnake, no monkey brains, no bull dick or testicles, no fermented delicacies of exotic lands that turn my stomach...

Likewise no very strong or especially stinky cheeses (and I mean strong ones...not the people for whom anything with more taste than a plastic wrapped slice of golden yellow cheese is too "strong."

I know I don't like these things because I tried almost every one and more. Food should be a pleasure, not a survivalist's Sophie's choice.

Okra. I just can't eat it. I love Gumbo but always pick it out. My grandfather made it for us (he was from the South) and it was just slime on slime.

I was 16 and immediately friends with an older girl. She was like Mary Bradford from "Eight is Enough", if Mary was a a dedicated smoker. We got suspicious and ended up calling some off the businesses to see if they honored the coupons we were selling. "What coupons?", they asked. The con artist bossman was listening to all of us on our cold calls. When we came back to the generic office from lunch, we were ready to proceed with a freshly hatched expose plans, when they told me and Lani O'Grady to go home. We were no longer needed. They'd mail us our wages. This was before the internet and cell phones, people answered the phone when it rang and spoke to whomever was on the other end. Now, I can't imagine answering an incoming call where I don't know the number. That's like playing in traffic.

The crazy thing is my older brother, who his sixteen years old than my younger, his wife is Nigerian too. So I had avoided having to go for 20 plus years. But this wedding I couldn't avoid. Nigeria is a mess. It's a mix of extreme excess and extreme poverty. This wedding was on the excess part with armed guards with machine guns at all the entrances. It was indeed on the level of Coming to America. The wedding their cost around 250K I am sure, but it would be a million dollar wedding in the United States. And it lasted ALL DAY LONG.

Heroin. Perhaps it was my mild allergy to opiates, perhaps it was because it came at the end of a three day meth sex binge, I threw up shortly after my shot and continued to do so for the next several hours. It was during this early period that my host informed me that the puking was part of the high. Whatever hot fun hijinks I had in mind dissolved almost instantly. Regurgitation is a non-starter almost any time, especially so when frisky (like ghb can be), and that it is supposed to be part of the ride makes it a big No.

Also tried Crack the same night - did that one other time, neither worth noting, but was shooting meth by this point in the story, so Crack could never contest for my affection.

In N Out burger. A good half hour at the drive thru despite only a few menu items and an army of pimply faced teenagers working there. Shitty shoestring fries and a so-so burger. I don't get the hype.

I thought you were boring R18, until this bit...

"...meditation based on Japanese observation of nature (moonlight sessions; cultivated flowering trees, tea, etc.)."

And I don't understand an interest in architecture paired with a contempt for travel, but clearly that's my shortcoming.

Do carry on with your tea-based meditations.

R135, being in a new place can be wonderful.

Getting to the new place is horrible.

My back issues make travel very difficult unless I can stop and walk about or change my position fairly frequently.

"Lobster tastes of nothing but melted butter and is a mess to eat" is one of the most flyover things you can possibly think. True New Englanders are far to insular to slam their own cuisine or anything about their region.

"Don't cry for me, Argentina"? Oh no honey. One upping each other on contemporary Broadway references is a blood sport with New England queens.

Decades ago, this person saw the bus and truck tour of Evita in a rectangle state, and it was probably pretty good.

R137 People on the coasts are more open to new experiences just because they happen there all the time. In all organisms, the changing and friction is at the edges; the middle is stasis.

Well, R140 can't possibly be from NE, because they teach their children the difference between "to," "too," and "two." At least they did, back in the day.

Of course, he's awfully defensive, so perhaps he's from New England after all.

FFS, R139, make up your fucking mind - or your excuses for feeling haughty in your distaste for travel.

a.) You travelled once for pleasure and decided never again (as the thread title would suggest)

b.) You tried personal travel various times and decided you hate it as you suggested in your post at R110

[quote]Travel - exhausting, uncomfortable, expensive and basically a waste of time. I do travel for work but never for pleasure.

c.) You liked personal travel but gave it up because of a bad fucking back? (Quite a contradiction to your pissy rebuke of personal travel as something you *never* do, "exhausting, uncomfortable, expensive and basically a waste of time.")

Travel isn't for everyone nor in everyone's reach, but contempt for it is rarely a good marker.

R156, I personally dislike it. I have taken two vacations in my life that involved what I would consider travel (airplane and train) and had to abort the second one as my back pain became unbearable. Which was a shame as I was enjoying the scenery (it was the Empire Builder).

Given the cost of travel, the amount of pollution involved and the general hassle in addition to my condition, I have forgone other long-distance travel except when absolutely necessary for work situations.

I find that following architectural and scenic photography online and in galleries fills the lack of travel.

Swimming with no view of land in any direction. Horrifying. I might be able to relax if this were in a shallow reef area where I could see and visit the bottom. I realise it's no safer, but it's a psychological fear of hidden depths and no land in sight.

There are about some ski slopes in the alps that trigger my vertigo to the point of terror and paralysis. So I will never go on them again. You can't really plan ahead - it's always been a surprise. Usually the situation that sets me off is a convex downward slope and or steep drop offs on one side. Or two sides! I don't mind convex slopes lined with forest but above the tree line they are destabilising unless they are very wide.

R135, as a true and blue shinnich, I recommend exploration of blossom watching culture of the Edo and Pre-Edo periods. I've found it helpful for anxiety, my neuropathic disorders, back pain and high blood pressure. A cup of dandelion tea or chilled saki with sliced cucumber, a pretty flowering tree or bit of ivy, moonlight (or moonlit clouds) - it is a relaxing pastime that requires nothing more than a willingness to open the mind to subtle beauty.

I am fortunate to be in communication with a master Japanese=American landscape architect who has a beautiful garden in Pasadena of almond, lemon and avocado trees. I can't hope to replicate it in a Hudson River Valley climate, but my little quince trees are a beloved stand-in.

r173 I once ate too much of the pot brownie, despite the warnings to wait for it to "kick in."

What a mistake. I was sure I was going to die (for about 3 hours). I kept telling one of the party hosts they needed to call an ambulance for me. I was put in a quiet room and checked on every 20 to 30 minutes until I stopped with my panic attack.

It was horrible.

Took speed once my freshman year of college to stay up all night studying for a test.

The speed may have kept me awake, but it also tore my stomach up. Took days for my stomach to feel better.

Smoking. I did it for a month my senior year of high school and I just didn't get it. I didn't get how to inhale and it never tugged me to keep trying. it was expensive in 1987 (lol).

I probably was influenced by my pot smoking parents, and i had absolutely no interest in that.

interestingly, i ended up an alcoholic at the ripe age of 38. no interest in d rugs or alcohol until my mid 30s. Never did i drink until my mid 30s.
