Microdosing Psychedelics and Sexual Response

[Nathanial.Dread]

Hello everyone. Once fall starts rolling in and I am back at my own place, I was going to start expiramenting with microdosing psychedelics (mostly p. cubensis, salvia and maybe Ayahuasca, depending on what my financial situation looks like). It's something I've wanted to try for a while: both for the data points and for the mood-regulating effect it reportedly has.

My girlfriend raised an interesting point when she asked what the effect of serotonergic psychedelics would have on sexuality and sexual response. We all know that one of the side effects of SSRIs is the reduction of sexual desire and anorgasmia, and for most people, sex while tripping on shrooms, LSD or Ayahuasca seems really unappealing. Do people in a microdosing regimen generally loose interest in sex?

I think I'm going to go ahead and try this anyway and then report back to you guys, but if anyone has any data points already, I'd be interested to know what to expect in this regard.

I've read through all the other topics here on The Nexus, so I have a general sense of what I can expect. I'm unsure whether I want to dose every day, every week day, or once every three days.
I may just try all three, unless schizophrenia sets in, in which case, I think I'll bail.

Blessings

Frankly, I wouldn´t worry too much about that - before you try that on your own

Well...I don´t know how other Nexians, but I personally don´t find myslef "anorgasmic" as well as I definitely don´t find sex as unappealing when I am on Mushrooms/(very low dose of)Aya, and DEFINITELY not when I am on mescaline.

Mescaline on the contrary, at least to me, is the best aphrodisiac out there :thumb_up:
(Just a suggestion: why don´t you try microdosing cactus?)
