Magic mushrooms, LSD and other psychedelic drugs increase sexual function and may be able to save struggling marriages, a study from Imperial College London suggests.

Consumption of the illegal substances has been shown for the first time to boost a person’s libido as well as enjoyment of sex.

They can improve a lot more than that

I think being high in general is going to improve a potentially monotonous relationship.

That, and it's often cut and pressed with other stimulants, like amphetamines.

The trick was to get hard before you peak, or get some little blue pills to stack with.

Although, if you're already hypertensive, probably not a good idea to mix them - or take either of those in general.

But all of this is based on my rather hazy recollection of people I was around quite a long time ago, so take it all with a grain of salt.

Wouldn't the salt just raise you're blood pressure more ?

The little orange ones (Tadalafil) are so much better than heart destroying blues.

It's fun watching science verify what people have known for centuries

Can't wait til they prove that stepping on cracks does indeed break your momma's back through quantum entanglement.

Out of all the drugs that I’ve been on while having sex, I was surprised to find that mushrooms/acid was the best.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That absolutely tracks. Acid and mushrooms make you aware of all the sensory noise your brain usually filters out in my experience. I always figured sex would be incredible while tripping dick, but always felt the other party would also need to be tripping, so it was never in the cards for me

[–] flames5123 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Nope! My wife experiences a “contact high” when I’m tripping, and we’re just cuddling for a couple hours in bed listening to our favorite music. She’s super empathetic so that may be why she gets the “contact high.”

But can they make you want to save the marriage in the first place?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I'm giving it a 50/50 based on my sample size of two. I sure felt like I wanted to make things work more but spouse still marched right for divorce so 🤷‍♀️

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Only if you still care

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago (5 children)

I can't have sex on acid, maybe it's the doses I'm taking but that much sensory input is generally too much.

Not surprised at all. And I have a friend who told me MDMA was a game-changer for his marriage.

[–] Coreidan 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

If your marriage is failing because of sex then you have bigger issues

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Like what?

[–] GoosLife 24 points 7 months ago

Like not doing enough LSD, apparently
