The Orgasm Hour #3: Altered States as Medicine: Cannabis, Psychedelics, Orgasm, and Consciousness
Unlocking Orgasm Through Altered States of Consciousness
Hosted by Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill, clinical sexologist and “orgasmologist,” The Orgasm Hour dives into the science and soul of sexual healing. In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Mulvehill welcomes Dr. Michael Schwarz, physician, philosopher, and co-author of Altered States of Consciousness as Paradoxically Healing. Together, they explore how substances like cannabis and psychedelics—alongside supervised therapeutic practices—can dissolve mental barriers, rewire trauma pathways, and help women access orgasmic pleasure for the first time.

Key Takeaways:
-
Orgasm as an Altered State: Orgasms and psychedelics both shift consciousness, temporarily dissolving rigid neural pathways tied to trauma or inhibition.
-
Cannabis as a Catalyst: Many women report their first orgasms with cannabis, which gently disrupts negative thought loops and fosters somatic awareness.
-
Healing Paradox: Surrendering control (via substances or mindfulness) can reintegrate the mind and body, replacing old “safety” patterns with new pleasure pathways.
-
Supervision Matters: Low doses, trusted guides, and intentional settings are critical to avoid overwhelm and create sustainable change.
-
Historical Suppression: Dr. Schwarz reveals how government shutdowns stalled early psychedelic research—despite its proven potential for sexual and psychological healing.
-
Beyond Trauma: Bad experiences need not define you. Altered states can help reframe past wounds, offering liberation from shame or dysfunction.
For women struggling with orgasm difficulty, this conversation is a beacon of hope—and a call to explore cutting-edge, pleasure-centered healing.
