Psychedelics and Sex: A New Lens

Ever imagined a place where science and humanities meet to discuss something unusual? Three recent studies have shown that psychedelics might improve sexual well-being. But scientists need to explore how culture and history influence our views on sexuality. The field of psychedelics hasn't paid much attention to sexuality in clinical research, despite important ethical questions. For example, what happens when sexual interactions occur during therapeutic sessions? And how do we handle these situations, both in official settings and hidden ones? Plus, gender's role is barely discussed. How does it affect our perception of whether psychedelics help repair or boost sexuality?

In today's world, post-#MeToo, these questions need careful consideration. We need to unravel these issues and decide what's essential for future research. It's time to rethink how we approach the topic of sex and psychedelics, ensuring our studies reflect today's understanding of sexual politics.
