Hi everyone,
just finished reading the excellent chat with Ralph Metzner and wanted to bring to your attention an article which contains an exchange of personal letters between Sasha Shulgin, Jochen Gartz and John W. Allen.
The article is also, somewhat of a response to one of the questions posed to Ralph Metzner concerning the use of entheogenic healing plant compounds combined with the act of sex, although ayahuasca was the entheogenic healing plant asked in the question to Dr. Metzner in regards to the act of sexuality before, during and after such an inebriation of a psychoactive substance, I would like to respond in my post below in regards to this matter...
This particular article, 48 typed pages, will appear in issue 5 of Shroom Talk magazine due out hopefully in June and I am the author.
The article is entitled as, "Sex Mushrooms and Rock and Roll."
The magazine is presented by Shroom Talk websites owner Mushbox and will be distributed by the Homestead Book Co. of Seattle and will appear in their June catalog and also also offered to the public from the shroomtalk website or through me.
This article is a first and discusses the psilophoric effects of the shrooms when interfaced with the conscious mind and primeval effects of mushrooms with the sensory factor of human sexuality between two loving individuals. An act of human nature, natural in all of its euphoric emotions. This too, is an example of what God and the meaning of life is all about. Human instinct and progenitorization of the species; the primary purpose in life, that of the subconscious procreation of life itself.
It confers to oneself while on shrooms that now is the time and that as that such time is ripe and so is the body and the shrooms lead you to this form of basic instinct which many do not believe possible while under the influence of the mushrooms and then the voices of multitudes of others who ask the question, "have you ever.....?"
While these effects are a common feeling, listed somewhat ambiguously by Leo Hollister et. al., 1960, in their definitive paper on the mental and physical descriptions of the effects of psilocybin and psilocine on the human consciousness, they also noted 'transient sexual feelings' as one of those effects. A distinctive analysis suggests that this might be interpreted as simply as implying, "animal sex, primeval sex or instinctive sex."
'Transient Sexual Feelings' was but one of the many subjective effects noted on human subjects which are attributed to the symbiosis of and interaction of psilocybine within the mind and the human body.
Not to sway from the subject matter of shrooms and sex, many of those same effects have been noted between users of mushrooms who do have a sexual relationship with others during such an inebriation. These users have also noted the same orgasmic euphoric effects while under the influence of other drugs such as mescaline and its many derivatives, as well as with LSD and mescaline (peyote, san pedro or synthetic sulfates of mescaline). The primary psilophoria mentioned is that of multiple orgasms for the female and that the male counterpart of the symbiosis can have an erection for hours and is able to hold back orgasms in order to provide the female partner the ultimate pleasure she desires for hours on end.
This article also notes and describes Timothy Leary's shroom experience in this matter, observations of Albert Hofmann who noticed a moment of sexuality in the shamanic dances of Maria Sabina's daughters during a salvia session in Oaxaca> It tells how I became interested in drugs and my first experiences on acid and shrooms while experiencing an act of sex, as well as comments taken from some of the early codices of the Spanish historians who had noted that aphrodisiac-like effects were observed in Native Mesoamericans who used the mushrooms ritualistically and privately.
Third, this article also correlates the use of todays music as an adjacent to the full beneficial end game of this symbiotic connection with mushrooms and sex. More psychological understandings can be obtained between two humans when under the influence if the music of today is used rather than the music of 300 years ago.
While psychoanalysts always played the classical music of Mozart, Wagner, Beethoven, i.e., to their human subjects while under the influence of LSD and other drugs in therapy, the documented end results produced not much healing during therapeutic rehabilitation to their clients. It would be an injustice to play such music to the youth of today while under the influence of such powerful entheogenic plant healers and would only disturb, scare and cause distress to the already inflicted individual who needs psychotherapy to improve ones mental condition.
Therefore it would be more proper to use these mushrooms with the music of the time, music that this generation can relate directly to. And so it would enhance the experience of both the sexuality and interbreeding of humanity with that of the symbiosis of the mushrooms and those who ingest them.
This is a great article that none should miss concerning a matter that has been taboo for many years in the academic writings of the scholars who only made small notations in regards to this subject in their scholarly published works, but there were many authors and investigators of these plants who have also invoked this matter to the public in small amounts of textual reference in their contemporary writings over the years.
I hope that this post in my thread makes sense as i am very tired and my vision is not the best and I have not edited this post at the moment.
It freely flowed from my mind to the pages of this thread in response to Ralph Metzner's comments about the "do not eat or have sex for three days before and after consuming an entheogenic medicinal mind-altering substance." According to Maria Sabina, to do so would bring one to madness. However, I say this is the finest madness to be drawn to.
While this is true for those who take such substances ceremoniously and ritualistically as a healing source, that is fine. One is there to take those substances to cure an ill, whether it is physical or psychological and the belief is imbued through the shaman and the sick and their connection to the substance they use through divination and correct the illness one is seeking help for.
But communication of a sexual nature between two loving partners while on mushrooms can also be of a healing nature and it is a part of human nature to do so. And to enhance the end result of human sexuality, the orgasm by a thousand-fold, who is to say that is wrong? Who is to say that it is not of a healing nature or act? And who is to say it is not a religious feeling to become one with all during the end of that particular experience of symbiosis with God, the shrooms, the music one loves and the orgasm of the human experience brought to us through God and our human nature through and while under the influence of God's gifts to humankind and the love it brings out in all of us at that time in space and mind?

interesting.
well written indeed considering the condition of no glasses and tiredness, boomer.
Will look forward to the complete article.
Hi Judih in A kibitz across the ocean and the sea.
I did re-edit a few comments and corrected a few typos but already my eyes are watering.
So It probably still needs a few minor corrections to the text of this blurb for my article.
I am very lucky that Shroom talk Magazine is publishing the whole of the article without editing out any of the the text.
I only wish that this blurb would have been used as an introduction tot he article in the editorial page of the mag. They actually had to remove my article on Fresh mushrooms of Tiel to put this one in and lengthen the pages of the magazine to accompanying the long article I wrote. Most publishers who not accommodate me in such a manner as to change the format and page number of their publication to give an author the complete and fullest attributes of his work.

Not just the article on Fresh Mushrooms of Tiel, but will include this March 18-25, 2007 visit to Amsterdam about the procare.nl mushroom farm but also includes a visit to the Het Oudwould Coffee House and the different budds and hash they sell, plus a visit at the 2007 Pugot Sound Mycological Annual Mushroom show with Mushroom photograph and mycologist, Taylor Lockwood and many varieties of edible and poisonous shroom images, but an interview with me as well and some more mycoporn.

An Update on this project.
As of December 1, 2009, Mushbox of Shroom Talk website and magazine has decided disco0ntinue the magazine, prior to many statements that said magazine was ready and at the printers and was, over several months period, at the printers and shipping soon, when in fact no work was ever done to put the magazine to press, as he so stated he had done.
So I am currently looking for a publisher who will take a 48 page article and do it justice without removing any content of the text of substance of the whole article.
It is important to the information written that it remain intact as it is a paper of great importance on the subject of "Sex, Mushrooms and Rock and Roll." And has really great personal correspondence between me, Sasha Shulgin and Jochen Gartz regarding the context of the article. With a few related illustrations and photos also pertaining to the text.

wow. that's a let-down. Too bad the guy felt he had to lie to you, instead of coming clean and letting you move on to find someone else. But the work lives.
There has to be a publisher somewhere.
