For the human or the dolphin?

Both.

John Lilly is a nut and stuck Margaret and a dolphin together in a tiny enclosed space where neither of them could get much space or stimulation.

He would constantly just bullshit things like “oh, I’ll make the middle area of the house two feet of water deep because that’s the optimum depth for human dolphin interaction!”

Dolphins are unbelievably horny and being locked up probably didn’t help with that. The dolphin would nip at Margaret and wailed until she finally went like “jfc I’ll just jerk this fucker off”

Who hasn't done a boatload of LSD and thought to themself "We can communicate with dolphins".

No judgement here.

There's probably a non-zero chance that a CIA researcher who happens to be a Lovecraft fan read the 1969 James Wade short story titled The deep ones and decided to make it a reality.

Didn't one of them also basically become the Dolphin's sex toy?

She gave him handies on request. IIRC the dolphin went into a depression and wouldn't eat after they fired the researcher.

"They fired my girlfriend! How did you expect me to feel‽"

If I recall correctly that one, in a number of ways, ended up getting even more out of hand and insane than it started. Something about taking the LSD themselves, fucking the dolphins, and drama related to that.

Typical hippie drama ofc.
