i remember reading something about traditional ayahuasca and how to prepare for the ceremony and things to avoid during the days before ingesting the brew. One of these things was to abstain from sexual orgasm 3 days before the ceremony among other well known things like foods and drugs. Does anyone know anything about this. I was wondering if some of these things should be avoided before even smoking spice. Also can avoiding certain foods decrease the bodyload?

i don't even think the majority of us abstain from sex for ayahuasca.
i don't think anyone does it for spice.

consider it more optional than mandatory.

the ayahuasca diet helps for people (like me) who purge too early/easily, other than that i don't think it does anything.

You'll do just fine with no specific diet. I have smoked spice after fasting, and after eating, and haven't been told off or had a bad trip as a result. I think the diet thing is really to make the purge easier and more efficient at clearing the crap out of your body with oral administration such as Aya or Pharma.

It is your ritual how ever, so choose to do it how feels best. I feel things such as fasting for half a day, meditating and setting intention are good ways of showing yourself at very least that you take this seriously and are willing to put some effort into it.

Good in = Good out. Sh*t in = Sh*t out.
