Hey everyone,
I'm recruiting participants for my MSc dissertation, and I'd love to hear from people who'd be open to sharing their stories.
The research is about erotic or sexual experiences on psychedelics where something shifted — a sense of ego-dissolution, ego death, boundary-loss, unity, transcendence, or "merging" with another person, the world, or something larger than yourself. These experiences are rarely talked about openly in research, and I think they deserve a thoughtful space.
You might be a good fit if you:
- Are 21 or over
- Speak English
- Have had at least one past consensual erotic or sexual experience involving psychedelics
- Experienced something like ego-dissolution, unity, loss of self-boundaries, transcendence, or deep merging during it
- Feel comfortable reflecting on it in a confidential interview
It's a one-to-one Zoom chat lasting about 60 minutes. You don't need to share any identifying details, everything is anonymised, and you can skip questions, pause, or withdraw at any point — no pressure, no awkwardness.
The study has full ethical approval through my university, and given how personal the topic is, I'm approaching every conversation with care, respect, and zero judgment.
If this resonates and you'd like to know more, drop me a DM, and I'll send over the participant information sheet with the full details.
Thanks for reading, and thanks to the mods for letting me post here 🙏
