Daniel J Kruger - Psychedelic experiences affect sexuality, gender, and intimate relationships

Psychedelic experiences are associated with shifts in sexual attraction, gender identity, and intimacy. Surveys among community members revealed that a majority experienced short-term or lasting effects in these areas following their use of substances like LSD or psilocybin. Reported outcomes include enhanced romantic connection and increased interest in sexual fluidity, though the effects are not uniform across individuals. The community-based research approach highlights shifts toward self-acceptance and a more nuanced understanding of gender as a spectrum.
