Redditors have agreed on the term ‘highsexualism’ to describe the phenomenon of becoming ‘temporarily gay’ when smoking weed. If you already knew that was a thing, congrats on being ahead of the game. If not, here’s how the original poster broke it down:

I’m quite a hardcore pothead but I quit at some months of high intensity studying. I feel very attracted to girls and not at all to men when sober, but when I get high I just want a big cock to suck and a man who fucks the shit out of me.

Anyone else happens to have the same effects? Just curiosity, not that it really bothers me since I’m still attracted to girls while high, but I sometimes feel wierded by male friends whith whom I don’t usually feel attracted to.

PD: this only happens when I’m WAY too high, a few shared joints don’t put me like this, but oh boy, when I’m on the edge of passing out in the couch…

EDIT: After that happened for a few time I decided to have sex with a guy. Maybe its because I’m just 19 and he was like 23 but I felt so grossed that I couldn’t go beyond oral sex.

That first paragraph certainly cuts to the chase doesn’t it? Other Redditors were happy to offer their thoughts and advice.

User Shoebotm suggested:

Maybe it’s the boundaries of your Ego dissolving when you’ve reached that ‘transcendent’ state, so your guard is down an your ‘true’ self rears it’s head. I’d be curious to how this would work with LSD, I’ve had friends come out or reveal/discover those feelings while tripping.

Photonomicron added:

Occasionally wanting to suck a dick when blasted out of your mind doesn’t make you “gay”, but go for it if you want. If you sobered up and then felt the urge to curl up in a burly man’s chest and be held by his big muscled arms until the world passes where it’s safe and warm and have some kisses on the cheek and THEN suck his dick, that’s a better sign that you’re truly homosexual. Either way, do what thou will and don’t feel any need to assign labels to yourself or formulate an explanation story for others.

What do you think? Do you know any highsexuals?

Looks like might have to revise our ‘5 Types Of Stoner’ guide off the back of this.
