I once played with a person who was on opiates for pain managment, but she didn't tell me, I found out after from somebody else. I was amazed at her tolerance level, until I found out. I could have done her damage without her being aware of it I think. I confronted her later, she said she had not told me because she was afraid that I would say no, and she really wanted to play. She was right, I would have said no. Fortunately no harm was done. I would never do that again, with knowledge of it in advance. Certainly I will never play with her again; I do not feel that I can trust her. I have a good friend who is a Top for many years, he now has severe osteoarthritis in a shoulder and is on opiates among other things. He won't play if he is not feeling well enough to skip his dose. He knows that his perception and coordination is not the same when he is medicated, even though he is quite acclimated to the drug. Depends I guess on dosage, how you like to play, etc. Heavy pain scenes are not the same as lighter ones, or sex or sensation play.
