Daddy T and Mister Mike did a workshop for the Speed Project in May. Here is how the event was advertised...

Marathon Man: Faster, Harder, Longer with Daddy T and Mister Mike

Please join the Speed Project in welcoming Daddy T and Mister Mike for a dinner and workshop about partying and marathon fucking. For PNP tops and bottoms alike this workshop will include helpful tips and info on planning your party and play, ways to keep the energy hot and get what you want, tips for communicating that won't break the mood or fuck up the high, performance challenges, performance enhancers, and having hot hot hot play time while incorporating harm reduction strategies that will help you and your partners last longer and be stronger!

Be on the lookout for future workshops featuring this hot couple!

Speedometer: Do you mind sharing with Speedometer readers a little about yourselves and why you wanted to share your experiences with the community?

Daddy T: As many of your readers probably know, I have certainly had my history with speed use- on again, off again. The reason I am facilitating this workshop is because I have quite a bit of experience from the side of being high on crystal and how it affects my sexual performance or that of my play partners. This is a great opportunity to share my experiences.... maybe guide other folks in directions that will be healthier. To support the person who is using and looking for sex so that they take fewer risks with their health.

Mister Mike: For my part of it, I worked in the porn industry for 12 years under the name Patrick Ives. I have years of experience being part of the porn industry behind me which included lots of drug use as well. I would encourage people to learn from what I have gone through in my drug experiences- porn linked with the drugs as well, and I'll be giving lots of how-to info on being a bit safer as well. You know, coming from the porn industry and knowing everything that's back behind it, I can give a reality check on what porn is really about.

Speedometer: If you were gonna give a little sound bite about this topic for guys who might not make it to the workshop- especially guys who are tops.... what do you suppose guys might want to know so they could have a better time, a more enjoyable time, and as you were saying, a healthier time on a run if they are gonna be topping?

Mister Mike: As a top, as a versatile top here.... basically how to deal with pressures. A lot of times you know, I shouldn't say a lot, I would say about 90% of the time... people don't use protection.... so being a top, common excuses are "I can't feel" and tops are put under a lot of pressure to perform for bottomless bottoms. So, maybe guiding them through a way to being a top without having to feel all the pressure and considering giving a little of yourself and trying out bottoming and not having to be exclusive as a top.

Speedometer: You got any thoughts on that daddy T?

Daddy T: I found that for me, speed and partying often gave me crystal cock and I had a hard time with erections. So bottoming was much easier and it just took less work for me to be the hit of the party, so to speak. However, that being said, as a bottom I think I assumed more risk and I had to be wary of those risks for STDs in general but also just physical fatigue on my rectal tissues and from servicing multiple partners in a given play period. That was probably my biggest stress. There is the emotional component also, it kind of comes with the territory I think, ... oftentimes there's the connotation that if you only bottom-you are kind of less of a man, if you can't keep an erection- that's in general for all guys regardless of sexuality, you know. If you aren't able to keep a rigid erection you are somehow less of a man, so there were oftentimes emotional components that came up for me playing that role- the role of the bottom, which of course is why erectile enhancements came into play, which I know we will be talking about in the workshop too.

Speedometer: I know nowadays speed isn't part of your play. How did you make that transition?

Mister Mike: A lot of guys get into this mode, "I can only have sex if I am high on speed", and so a part of the transition is, you have to kind of teach yourself how to have hot sex without it.

Daddy T: And for me it was a several year process for me- about six years. I first did a stint in rehab in 2001 I would get 12- 18 months of clean time and then I'd use and then there'd be a six months or ten or 12 month or even another 18 month break, but I never really went past that. Part of that was because sex without speed- when you've only had sex on speed for so many years- it's a different kind of sex. You have to kind of relearn the value of intimacy and vulnerability that often have been thrown out of the window when you are just in the frenetic crystal type of sex mode. When your mindset starts changing and you start experiencing... particularly when you have a real emotional connection with somebody that helps... and that's kind of the perspective that me and Mike are coming from. We are currently not using and we actually made the decision sometime back that we didn't really see ourselves picking up again. Part of that has been because of our connection and the fabulous raucous goodtime sex that we have without crystal. You know, everybody is different, but the truth is that crystal sex has its advantages but it has some distinct disadvantages as well which we are going to be addressing in this workshop. We will be coming from the perspective of two guys who are not presently users but have years of experience as users. We will share what we gleaned in our experience that could help others have a safer high and more rewarding sexual experiences with play partners.

Mister Mike: Honestly, any total bottom can be a great top; they just don't know it yet.

Daddy T: My intent on this is to absolutely not come from a place of judging...but a place of just really sharing. Look, if your going to be playing on speed here's your pitfalls and here's what I've learned to minimize those pitfalls and how to get around some of them so that you can have a better time being high- a safer time playing with sex, and maybe be able to maintain your health in a manner that means you can get high again without finding yourself depleted-which you would be otherwise. That's kind of my objective.

Mister Mike: Same here, we are both healthy, we are both HIV+ guys who have played MANY times with this drug and to be honest we've come out on top and we are staying that way. And again, like Daddy T said there's not judgment.. it's just taking a lot of experience and throwing it out there as someone who has been there.

Speedometer: I noticed from the outline you sent that a lot of the workshop will be about communication and learning how to be self-referential in terms of what you want out of a sexual experience, kinda learning how not to throw what you want and your limits out the window once you are partying...you talked about knowing your boundaries and what you want to do and what you don't want to do when you are partying and playing.

Daddy T: Absolutely....and we won't come off as judgmental. How could a porn actor and an ex hooker come off as judgmental?

Mister Mike: We will put out there what we've learned personally and give alternatives to help guys use in ways that are more healthy. Using period is not healthy, but you can make choices to do it better and take care of yourself.

Speedometer: Right on!

Daddy T: We really look forward to doing this work with the community! Thanks for the opportunity.
