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.

Where's the tldr-bot? I don't want to visit the Torygraph to read this.

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

Communication for one...

Like not doing enough LSD, apparently

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

I heard in the afterglow it can be quite good, especially after a long and deep bounding trip together.

Unfortunately acid lasts much longer for me than it does for her so by the time I am at a point where I could probably be intimate her trip is entirely over. She could delay her trip but then we would peak at different times and I value the experience more than a I value sex

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