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.

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

Wait til they hear about MDMA

If only MDMA did not restrict vascular flow

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.

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 52 points 9 months ago

They can improve a lot more than that
