Would you ever choose to be a host?

[Sovereign]

It's 5:30 and I'm watching stargate sg-1 dvd's. It was an episode about the Tok'Ra.

I'm wondering that IF this was possible, if these things existed, would you agree to be host to one?

-The Tok'ra are basically parasites.
-They enter through the mouth and latch on to your upper spine / into the brain
-You would split control of your body with it, switching between you two.
-It has the power to completely take control of you, but chooses not to.
-Your life expectancy will be about 200 years.
-When the symbiote is in control, you basically can see everything but you aren't in control.
-You have a perfect immune system. basically no disease can kill you, and your wounds heal in no time.

Well I'd wanna get to know my parasite first to see if he was a dick. It wouldn't be cool to get one of those things and then have him take over almost all the time.

[!King_Amazon!]

Only if Nikki agreed to it too.

[Mantralord]

I'd damage a small portion of its brain so that I get all the benefits without it coming out and talkin smack about my homies.

[Lenny]

No.

If it can take control of you whenever then it's a definite no. And then there's the fact that it's a parasite.

No thank you.

[undeadzombieguy]

Are the tok'ra generally assholes or nice guys? I'd probably do it if they were generally nice and loving. Otherwise I would get one when I'm like 60 or if I get sick/disabled real bad.

Would hate to have one who's suicidal...

[WetWired]

Well, you see the thing is that it would clean them out of you faster than you could afford to put them into you...

[Grav]

Then no.

[WetWired]

Of course, the Tok'ra are aware of more powerful drugs; ones that would kill a mere human.

[Vollstrecker]

Fuck no, would be my answer.

[Sovereign]

They aren't suicidal. Their memory is genetic. The queen who spawned them was a 'good guy' who created them to fight against their evil counter parts. Sure they CAN take complete control, but it's against their highest law.

Oddly enough, I'd want to ......

[Mantralord]

Wait, if you can observe everything the parasite does but can't do anything about it, what if the parasite takes control and starts jacking off? I mean, it would be like getting a handjob from your point of view right??

[Kaneda]

Ya but would you feel it is the question.

[Sovereign]

Its a pure symbiotic relationship. What the host feels the parasite feels and vice versa.

[!King_Amazon!]

Nothing odd about it, I'd do it if Nikki would agree to doing it as well, only because I don't really wanna live a long time and her not.

[Kaneda]

:rolleyes: Uh huh.

[KagomJack]

I'd give it a whirl.

[Hades-Knight]

Mantra would rather have the parasite in his anus than his spine

[Penny_Bags]

I'd damage a small portion of its brain so that I get all the benefits without it coming out and talkin smack about my homies. Your gay homies?

OMG LOLOLOLZ

[Penny_Bags]

I'd give it a whirl.More like a....... gay whirl?

OMG LOLOLOLZ

[JRwakebord]

No thanks. I like keeping control of my own body, thank you very much.

[WetWired]

The compliment to this question is would you consider a romantic relationship with a Tokra and its host?

[Sovereign]

Yeah. I think I would. It would take a lot of getting used to though. You know the whole waking up with the girlfriend, and her eyes glow and now you're talking to the symbiote. But from what I understand, the host and symbiote share their emotions, so I wouldn't be waking up to a cold personality that hates me.

If it was real it'd be something to try O_o

[badboy]

No. I'd rather die than have something control me against my will.

[undeadzombieguy]

At least you wouldnt have to worry about STD's.

[Penny_Bags]

No. I'd rather die than have something control me against my will.
You aren't into drugs and alcohol? I don't mean the affects, I mean the addiction.

[Grav]

You aren't into breathing?

[badboy]

I drink alcohol when I want to, I am not addicted, so that is not a problem for me.

[JRwakebord]

You know the whole waking up with the girlfriend, and her eyes glow and now you're talking to the symbiote.


Would it give her any kinky new sexual prowess?

[sue_13]

I'd hope so.

[Dr. Geekstar]

I'd say he can have my cat, but no way there's going anything in my body taking control of me, unless it is called alcohol ofcourse.
