LSD: the learning drug, or is it?

Let's face it when you think of LSD (or google it), images of trippy visuals, tie-dye shirts, and maybe even Ed Shereen melting into his guitar come to mind. But what if I told you there's a buzz about LSD being a learning drug? Buckle up, psychonauts, because we're diving down the rabbit hole of this mind-bending debate. First, let's be clear: LSD is illegal and carries serious risks, both mental and physical. This ain't some "magic pill" for instant enlightenment. But hear me out... some pretty impressive figures have experimented with LSD and claimed it unlocked new perspectives and even fueled creativity. Exhibit A: Steve Jobs. The Apple co-founder famously credited LSD with "a peak into the top of my mind" and attributed its influence to his design sensibilities. Think about it, the sleek, minimalist aesthetic of Apple products – could that be a trip-inspired epiphany? Exhibit B: Aldous Huxley. This literary giant wrote "The Doors of P...

Is Frequent Sex Good? Here's What the Science Says




Sex is not only fun but also has some amazing health benefits? Yes, you heard it right😉😉!

A recent study found that men who had more frequent penile-vaginal intercourse (PVI) had less risk of developing prostate cancer[1]. And that's not all, another study found that men who had around 4.6 to 7 ejaculations a week were 36 per cent less likely to receive a prostate cancer diagnosis before the age of 70[1].

In females, frequent penile-vaginal intercourse (PVI) may have a positive effect on young women's memory. It has also been shown to build stronger pelvic muscles and help produce more vaginal lubrication, among other things.






Apart from reducing stress and anxiety, sex can also increase happiness, just like exercise. Having sex frequently may enhance the capacity of the blood vessels to dilate, improve vascular wall function, more efficiently provide oxygen to the muscles, and in turn promote cardiovascular health[5]. So, it's a win-win💃😎 situation for both your mental and physical health💪.


And, did you know that sex can also help you sleep better 💤r?[4]. Yes, it's true! There is a reason why every sex scene in a movie ends with the couple falling fast asleep. The National Sleep Foundation suggest that sexual activity has hormonal benefits for sleep. The hormones produced during intercourse, such as oxytocin (which promotes feelings of bonding and intimacy), dopamine, and endorphins, can promote feelings of bonding and intimacy and reduce stress and anxiety. This, in turn, leaves your body feeling naturally more relaxed 💆and results in a pleasant transition into sleep[6].


But wait✋, there's more! Sexual activity is associated with higher scores on tests of memory and executive function in adults aged 50–90[2],[3]. So, if you're looking for a fun way to boost your memory, you know what to do😜!


However, it's important to note that not all potential benefits apply to everyone, and if you have any concerns, it's always best to seek medical help.
