>>I've only encountered it as an SFF concept, not a mysticism one, so my feelings about it are very much in context of why a human would write a story like that.
I'm not sure if this was my *first* encounter, but I feel like the *central example* of this concept for me is the time I was poking around Erowid and noticed that it was an extremely common feature of Salvia divinorum trip reports.
(Of course, that would probably tend to become self-perpetuating. If they've learned from talking to other salvia users to *expect* a sense of being a higher-plane entity playing a memory game, their brain may well oblige.)

>>Maybe the... idea is that once you've gotten used to each other's quirks, sex has to be boring, so by erasing memories you get back to the early days of infatuation where you were having wild hot sex at all opportunities? ...jesus. That's *sad*, if so. Taking the concept of the unhappy established relationship that far. Like if you're not having at least as good or better a time once you actually know what each other likes in bed... wow.
It might be suggestive of, like, a contingent of people who are into casual sex but live in cultures that forbid it, so they try to make the most of what outlets they have.
Personally I really would not be comfortable having sex with someone I hadn't known for years. I feel like it takes time to build that kind of trust.
