Welcome to episode 99 of the Sexology Podcast, today is a solo episode where I’m going to talk about the relationship between sex and recreational drugs: alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, MDMA, amphetamines and hallucinogens.
In this episode, you will hear:
- The way in which alcohol affects your sexual experience
- How aggressive tendencies can be amplified when having sex under the influence of alcohol
- How alcohol and cannabis affect sex in very different ways
- How some women struggle to concentrate during sex after taking cannabis
- The way in which cocaine has a chronic prolonged effect
- Reports that suggest many people reach orgasm when coming down from MDMA
- The mixed responses people have reported from sex whilst taking amphetamines
- How hallucinogens have been known to help with sexual fantasies
