MDMA and Human Sexual Function
Buffum, J., Moser, C.
This retrospective survey study (n=26) examined self-reported sexuality under the influence of MDMA (≈125mg) compared to sober state and found that it increased emotional closeness, enhanced receptivity to being sexual, and was often chosen as a sexual enhancer by the participants, but it did not stimulate the desire to initiate sex and decreased erectile ability in 46% of the male participants.
Abstract
Although many MDMA users describe sexual enhancement from MDMA. there are no published reports of studies that systematically examine the effects of MDMA on sexual function. In an unpublished study of 29 patients undergoing MDMA-augmented psychotherapy, Greer (1983) reported one occurrence of anorgasmia the day after ingestion and one occurrence of decreased sexual desire lasting one or two days. One couple in the study reported enhanced sexual enjoyment following an MDMA session, partly due to delayed orgasm.
