I remember cherry cokes & phosphates were supposed to get her
"in the mood" so I developed an adolescent taste for them that never
carried over. The aspirin trick I do indeed recall being discussed but
never really tested (she was supposed to get very horny). Passing out
called for copious amounts of Boone's Farm wine, though it was 
usually me, not she, who ended up out &, so far as I recall, "she" never
molested me...sigh...
