An intimate report published in 1970, surveying 208 middle-class adult users, regarding their experience with marijuana and its impact on their sex life. Half are married. Many are professional people, housewives and mothers. Their personal accounts are presented along with evaluations from thirty-five psychiatrists and other behavioral scientists with the whom the author also talked. It assesses marijuana as a sexual stimulant and de-inhibitor for many users, and as a 'turn-off' for some others.

How can marijuana prolong or enhance love play? Coitus? Orgasm? How does it liberate some 'frigid' women? What happens to marriages when only one partner is a user? What role does the drug play in extra-marital relations? What are the undesirable or extreme effects? These and other questions are discussed in these testimonies which are both frank and intimate.
