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

Out of all the drugs that I’ve been on while having sex, I was surprised to find that mushrooms/acid was the best.
I think being high in general is going to improve a potentially monotonous relationship.
If your marriage is failing because of sex then you have bigger issues
Like what?
Communication for one…
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
Magic mushrooms are not acid.

a couple of years ago, i had a strict ‘first date we eat boomers’ system. it was a lot of fun.
I met my wife while I was shrooming That was 23 years ago We’re still together
If you can’t fix your marriage normally, just drink/take drugs so you’re too smashed to worry about whether you actually like your partner!
Solid advice.
In related news, if you’re unfulfilled in your current relationship, just cheat/spend time with others to fill the gaps! Problem solved.

This makes no sense/is not relevant to my comment at all…
But sure, if you can’t make an argument against it feel free to use irrelevant anecdotes. But what can you expect from a person who probably doesn’t play basketball.
tell me you’ve never taken psychedelics without telling me
Lol. If your relationship has improved significantly becsuse you’ve taken some short term acting drugs then it either wasn’t a problem in the first place or you’re lying to yourself.
Are people here not in relationships? You must have intense fantasies to think long term issues can be solved by short term solutions.
Stay in school kids! If you’re lucky, you’ll be too sheltered to be as impotently enraged as this poor bastard.
Enraged? Because I’m suggesting long term relationship issues are extremely unlikely to be solved by short term solutions?
Yes clearly I’m the crazy one here. Do you honestly believe that serious relationship issues can be solved by a short term acting drug? I’m sure there’s a small chance, but it’s ridiculous to think it’d work for more than a minority.
But feel free to throw some baseless insults instead of providing an actual counter argument! I get it though, if you can’t make an argument, easiest to just attack the person. 😊
Don’t you think this is an unfair way of framing this? There are plenty of people who may value their relationship who this could help. It’s no different than taking anti-depressants or other meds that can help improve their quality of life.
There’s a lot of potential benefits to psychedelics. But a single study of 300 people showing one effect is hardly cause for celebration.
There is a massive difference in using well studied and understood ways to help couples work through issues VS. Taking something poorly understood that we have close to zero understanding of the long term impact for.
So I’m pretty comfortable saying this is bullshit until proven otherwise, and I think that’s the healthiest way to do it.
Think of it another way - there’s far more research and drugs that are touted as curing cancer that go nowhere than there is support for this. It’s a sexy headline but pretty useless at end of day.
