Why Didn't I Know?

Sex has the potential to have therapeutic effects on our mental health, much like plant medicines do. And much like plant medicines, the benefit of sex happens when we pay attention to set and setting. "Set" refers to our mindset/beliefs about sex, and "setting" refers to the context. Many people never experience their sexual potential because of cultural conditioning. In this episode, Dr. Jenny shares how she felt liberated from her past beliefs about sex by discovering scholarship about Mary Magdalene.

After having a psychedelic, transcendent experience during intimacy with her partner, Jenny Martin, a Psychologist, and sex educator, sought to discover how the brain and body could produce these experiences. Dr. Jenny became fascinated that the human body contains a psychedelic substance (DMT) that could be released during sexual activity. She now teaches women to access mystical states through sexual pleasure. In this episode, Dr. Jenny briefly discusses the importance of mindset in producing psychedelic experiences – a mentality of sacredness. In future episodes, she'll discuss the hidden religious, sexual teachings in the Christian tradition that influenced her journey.
