I have been taking psychedelics since I was 13. I'm 22 now. I definitely feel I have manifested some intense sexual situations to explore because of my use of mind expanding medicines. I have always known that my sexuality wasn't static and I knew that sooner or later I would be presented with opportunities for sexual growth with my gender. I think its really important to be able to explore those natural urges and to be able to feel good about them, but also to have the mindfulness to not dive in when the waters are unsafe and that is up to you to decide. Trust yourself and the unfolding of your life. You have every reason and right to.
I agree, great post. I haven't been using psychedelics for anywhere near that long (13??!? that is very young haha), probably about two years now (I'm 20).
Sexuality is of course one of humanity's most persistent and remarkable obsessions, along with drugs and music. So much of what we believe is based around our previous experiences, what we have been told, and what is considered 'acceptable' or 'normal'. At the end of the day, none of this has the slightest bit of relevance to anything. A person's sexualit is indeed never static, and why the hell should it be?
There are only two genders on this planet, and the phobia and stewed truths that surround both are ridiculous and futile; yet so many people are insistent on maintaining these lies. Life is a journey, and thus sexuality is also a jouney. I think to a degree, every single person feels attracted to both in some way. No one is 100% fixed either way.
As yet I haven't had the chance to expore any same-sex experiences, but I consider myself open to them. I also enjoy normal heterosexual experiences and urges. Of course it's not something that you talk about to every 'average joe' on the street, but I think its important that it be discussed (and if necessary, explored) in order for us to develop as human beings.
And what's more, it occurs in nature all the time. There are constantly joke emails that go around offices showing two male monkeys servicing each other. Everybody thinks it's cute and funny. But if two humans were to do it - OMG! FAGGOTS!
It's quite pathetic and sad really.
