That absolutely tracks. Acid and mushrooms make you aware of all the sensory noise your brain usually filters out in my experience. I always figured sex would be incredible while tripping dick, but always felt the other party would also need to be tripping, so it was never in the cards for me
Nope! My wife experiences a “contact high” when I’m tripping, and we’re just cuddling for a couple hours in bed listening to our favorite music. She’s super empathetic so that may be why she gets the “contact high.”
My experience, at least with bigger doses of acid, is that you spend several hours (seems to be about 3-7 hours after you drop) with tiny amounts in your sweat and saliva like some kind of hallucinogenic poison dart frog.
I definitely rejected the possibility at first, as given the infinitesimal quantities involved it didn't seem like it should be present in sufficient amounts in your sweat. I had assumed the "don't let your pets lick you" stories were urban legends by a notoriously unreliable population....but based on the pupillary response, at least one of my pups appeared to be tripping while exhibiting unusual behavior.
Same thing kissing my wife who wasn't tripping, but often does.
