Basically, I’m looking for some accounts of what it’s like to be on ecstasy (particularly, sex on ecstasy). I’ve seen a few pop-culture recountings of it, but I’m looking for how it is, how it feels for a scene in a story I’m writing.
Sam Harris describes it here in the first few pages of Waking Up, which coincidentally I started reading today.
:dubious:
Sexstasy?
@don’t ask: thanks, I’ll peruse that. 
you’re very talkative and sometimes gushy, because the serotonin load makes you feel like everyone will actually get what you say and do - and you feel a lot more empathetic towards other people, too
for some people it makes their limbs feel really light and easy to move, and somehow (or at least, it seems like) it makes iot easier to dance along to things (not just increased confidence, but you feel that you’re better at it - this is probs one of the strongest reasons for the link between it and house music/edm in general
some people find it hard to get hard on mdma though, but others describe it as the best experience of their life (personally haven’t tried yet)
For many (most?) people, having sex while on ecstasy makes it very hard to orgasm. While the touch of skin and the feeling of intercourse are very pleasurable, there is generally no climax.
“At its best? It feels like joy. Like standing in the presence of God and knowing you are loved without reservation. It feels the way you haven’t felt since you were a small child, absolutely alive, absolutely in the moment, able to feel and experience and share with others without fear or hesitation. It is the most perfect moment of the most perfect day of your life, when trouble was nothing but a memory and the possibilities rolled on forever. It is the achievement of the inner peace the religions try to sell but rarely deliver. At its best, MDMA is one of the finest, purest, most profound experiences life has to offer.”
But then goes on to say:
“If that sounds a little intense, it is. But…that’s not necessarily the typical MDMA experience. Producing such peak experiences depends on the dosage taken, the environment, and the person’s mental and physical state going in. At lower doses, etc. the experience is much milder (but still often remarkable.) How far you want to take it is up to you. At lower doses, a person on MDMA can wander about public places, strike up conversations, etc. and not be thought of as ‘odd’ or particularly noticed. At low doses, you just feel unusually cheerful, sociable and energetic, as though you were extraordinarily well rested and relaxed. MDMA is fairly flexible in what it can do. If you seek an at-one-with-the-universe religious experience, that can be achieved…but it’s also a perfectly nice and controllable recreational drug for going out on the town. Like alcohol, it’s not a matter of simply being completely drunk vs. completely sober…there is a large range of possibilities in between. You pick your dose, you pick your environment, you pick what you want to try to get out of it.”
There’s some good info on that page.

Does ecstasy work on horses?
Beat me to it.
<3
All this sounds totally awesome. Even if it does some damage to our minds and bodies, we’re all going to get old and decrepit even if we treat our bodies perfectly. If the damage done by ecstasy is very small, and it lets you have these amazing experiences…shiiiittt. I’ve never taken the stuff or any recreational drug, but hearing stuff like this makes me regret that decision.
I wonder what it feels like to pet a cat on ecstasy. Or make out with a hot model AND pet a cat at the same time? Or make out with a hot model, petting a cat, while in a room with awesome visuals and some crunk beats (but nothing to scare the cat).
Does weed stack with ecstasy well?
OP: I’m going to send you a PM on this one … uh, since you asked. 
It is a stimulant with empathogenic qualities due to the serotonin release.
Think amphetamine that causes release of serotonin.
It’s like having your balls tickled with a feather that was plucked from the wing of an angel.
Here is some drier, more clinical discussion of sex on MDMA.
I imagine you’d have quite a hard time staying in the saddle.
I know this is a joke, but yes I imagine it would work perfectly fine. In fact I’d be shocked if it hasn’t been used for its stimulant properties in horse racing, obscure stimulants and opiates are given to race horses all the time to cause better performance.
Everything that goes up must come down.
