While online claims tout cannabis as an enhancer of sexual encounters, concrete scientific evidence remains scarce to definitively support these assertions.

Nevertheless, a study featured in the Journal of Sexual Medicine delved into the influence of pre-sex cannabis use on women’s sexual experiences, suggesting a potential increase in sex drive and pleasure.

Cannabis as an aphrodisiac

Exploring the notion of cannabis as an aphrodisiac, various theories emerge. According to Becky Kaufman Lynn, a gynecologist researching the link between cannabis and sex, cannabis might alleviate anxiety and stress, thereby boosting confidence in one’s sexual prowess.

Additionally, it could alter time perception and intensify sensations, contributing to its perceived aphrodisiac effect.

Impact on quality and quantity

Lynn’s interest sparked from patient reports affirming enhanced sexual experiences through cannabis use.

Approximately 30% of women in a survey reported using cannabis before sex, with two-thirds noting its positive impact on libido and pleasure.

Remarkably, a mere three percent reported negative effects on the mood, while others remained neutral or undecided. Some women highlighted its use in mitigating pain that hindered sexual enjoyment.

Encouraging frequency

Research from Stanford indicates that cannabis might correlate with increased sexual activity. An analysis of data from the UK. National Survey of Family Growth revealed that daily male cannabis users engaged in 22% more sexual activity compared to abstainers, while female users reported a 34% increase compared to THC-free adults.

Influence of setting

A 2016 study suggested that the environment where cannabis is consumed could influence sexual desires. It proposed that the illicit nature of cannabis consumption, often in private settings, facilitated intimacy, potentially prompting more sexual encounters.

Unexpected effects on fertility

Contrary to previous advice, recent research from Harvard University discovered a link between cannabis use and elevated sperm counts and testosterone levels in men.

Contrasting prior beliefs, this study found higher sperm concentrations and testosterone levels in men who consumed cannabis.

Cannabis selection for sexual enhancement

Consideration of cannabis composition becomes crucial. While CBD-rich strains alleviate anxiety, enhancing the mood for intimacy, THC is emphasized for improving sexual sensations.

Experts suggest finding a balance; for instance, a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC for anxiety reduction and euphoria while avoiding excessive THC consumption, which might lead to adverse effects.

In summary, scientific evidence hints at cannabis potentially elevating the sexual experience, but caution is advised against excessive consumption to avoid adverse effects.
