By "unable to perform" - OPs being unable to get an erection, which is very commonly difficult while doing MDMA - at least until before the come down. Abstain for 3-5+ days, the longer the easier to get an erection; it's still difficult to impossible to orgasm until after the come down as well.

MDMA is quite tough on the heart and especially dangerous if you have arrhythmia like afibs. Viagra is taxing too so I'd ask a doctor first before combining them.

As if a doctor is going to say "sure, it's ok for you to take MDMA" under any circumstances...

My therapist is saying that I can keep taking my LSD if I think it helps me. I had/have issues with anxiety and depression, but I'm off regular SSRIs for now. I take psychedelics when I feel my brain needs a "break". I'm also confident psychedelics help me a lot with drinking less, so it's a big win in my book. Drugs are decriminalized where I live too.

Yes there are exceptions of well informed, well meaning doctors.
They have to quite careful though, because it's not totally impossible to run into liability issues.
Also there are dangers with psychedelics or other psychoactive drugs and psychiatric illnesses. It's not all a rosy picture...

I'm currently living in Amsterdam and am seeing a Psychiatrist for my ADHD. We primary talk about dopamine and amphetamines (Adderal/Dexedrine/Ritalin), but have very open conversations about MDMA and psylocilibin. Granted here in the Netherlands you can walk in to any smart shop and buy psychedelic truffles and of course, weed in the coffeeshops.
