As someone with mild synesthesia myself, your story really caught my attention. The idea of sexual sensations triggering a full-blown psychedelic experience is incredible. I sometimes see faint colors associated with sounds or feel textures in response to certain emotions, but nothing like the intense sensory crossover you described. It makes me wonder if there’s some deeper connection between synesthesia and heightened sexual states.
What’s particularly interesting is how you said it’s different from your usual synesthesia. That makes me think it’s less about the sensory condition itself and more about the intensity of the experience rewiring your brain temporarily. Kind of like how some people describe “runner’s high” but on a much deeper, more intimate level.
I’ve read that sex can release a flood of dopamine and other chemicals that essentially “rewire” your brain in the moment, which could explain why you experienced such a profound trip. Do you think your familiarity with psychedelics might have prepared your brain for this kind of response, even if you weren’t under their influence at the time?
Whatever the case, it’s incredible that you’re finding new ways to connect with your partner and yourself. Keep leaning into those experiences, and don’t forget to take time to process them afterward. Sometimes the best insights come when you’re reflecting.
