I can't have sex on acid, maybe it's the doses I'm taking but that much sensory input is generally too much.

Magic mushrooms are not acid.

I heard in the afterglow it can be quite good, especially after a long and deep bounding trip together.

Unfortunately acid lasts much longer for me than it does for her so by the time I am at a point where I could probably be intimate her trip is entirely over. She could delay her trip but then we would peak at different times and I value the experience more than a I value sex
