Imperial College London study suggests libido-enhancing psychedelic drugs could be used in the future as part of couples counselling

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.

    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

      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.”
