"Psychedelic Use Linked to Long-Term Improvement in Sexual Function, Study Shows"

A new study suggests that psychedelics such as psilocybin or LSD may improve sexual function by increasing enjoyment, arousal, satisfaction, and attraction to partners. However, experts caution that there can be harmful health consequences and that mood-altering substances can affect individuals differently. Self-reflection, therapy, and addressing underlying causes are recommended as alternative ways to improve sexual function. While the findings are intriguing, further research is needed to validate the effects of psychedelics on sexual function.

"Plant-Based Diet Improves Sexual Health for Men with Prostate Cancer, Study Finds"

A study suggests that a vegan diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains, and nuts could improve the sex lives of men and treat erectile dysfunction, particularly for those undergoing prostate cancer treatment. The research found that a plant-based diet improved men's sexual function and urinary health by up to 11-14%, and hormonal health by up to 13%. The study challenges the historical misconception that eating meat boosts sexual function in men and supports previous research indicating the benefits of a plant-based diet in reducing the risk of developing prostate cancer.

"The Dual Impact: Long COVID and Menopause on Women's Sexual Health"

A study by Boston University researchers has found that COVID-19 and long COVID can impair sexual function in cisgender women, with long COVID having a particularly detrimental effect. The study, which is the first to highlight long COVID's impact on sexual health in women, revealed that women with long COVID experienced significantly worse arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and pain scores. The findings suggest that COVID-19 infection may be associated with impairment of both cognitive and physiological aspects of sexual function, and the researchers hope the study will encourage open dialogue around sexual health and lead to better support for patients.

"Psychedelic Use Linked to Long-Term Sexual Satisfaction, Study Shows"

A new study published in Nature Scientific Reports suggests that psychedelic substances, including psilocybin mushrooms and LSD, may improve sexual function for months after use. The study, conducted by researchers from Imperial College London’s Centre for Psychedelic Research, found that participants reported enhanced sexual functioning and satisfaction following psychedelic use, including improved pleasure, communication during sex, satisfaction with partners and physical appearance. The findings also indicated positive changes in sexual functioning after psilocybin therapy compared to a commonly prescribed antidepressant. The study adds to a growing body of research demonstrating the potential of psychedelics to treat various mental health conditions and highlights the need for further research in this area.
