Various real testimonies have declared that taking MDMA helps them improve their relationships and sex life. For some couples, a quiet night-in listening to some music and taking drugs is better than going out for dinner or watch some TV. They claim their conversations get deeper and ‘they would not know or understand each other that well’.
And they are not alone on this. Before the drug was criminalised in 1977, MDMA was frequently used in couples therapy so it does not sound like such a bad plan.

The clinical setting in which these patients try the drugs under ‘safe’ conditions and doctors even claim that some of the drugs they prescribe to people on a daily basis are way more toxic than MDMA, and yet they are in widespread use.
There is still a long way to got until some progress is made but investigations seem on the right path!
