Sex. Weed. Rock & roll. As it turns out, weed doesn’t just heighten your senses when listening to music, it also enhances sex. That’s right, cannabis and sex go together like succulent frosting on a red velvet cake.
The outdated opinion that weed makes one impotent or lazy, has been thrown out the window. In fact, more and more studies are proving that a bit of Mary Jane can significantly help heat things up between the sheets.
So what is the connection between cannabis and sex? And exactly how does cannabis play a role in improving libido among consumers? According to science, there’s a simple conclusion: recreational marijuana makes sex awesome. But let’s get down to the gritty sexy details of it all. Here are a few science-backed reasons why cannabis is revving up the passion in the bedroom (or on kitchen countertops) for couples around the globe.
Stoners Are More Sexually Active
Stoners sometimes get a bad rep. They can be labelled as couch-dwellers with the case of the munchies. So it’s no wonder why people don’t necessarily associate weed with more sex. But cannabis isn’t like other recreational drugs that may give you a short-lived spurt of energy but then quickly taper and deplete your power source.
As a matter of fact, a 2017 study showed that weed is associated with increased sexual frequency and does not appear to impair sexual function. This was demonstrated in all demographics among both women and men. So if you are having a sexual slump with your lover lately it may be time to invest in some good weed to help relight that spark, and relight it fast!
Marijuana Sex is Sweeter
Music sounds sweeter after a little Mary Jane. Treats taste sweeter after some good bud. And, at the end of the day, weed makes us chill out. So it makes perfect sense why weed would help people relax into a heightened and more pleasurable sexual experience. Afterall, who doesn’t feel amazing right after they have sex?
According to a study noted in Forbes that surveyed 289 women at the academic OBGYN practice attending Saint Louis University in Missouri found that 65% of women reported that cannabis consumption enhanced their sexual experience. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that women who consumed cannabis before engaging in sexual activity had a better chance of reaching orgasm. Which leads some experts to speculate that marijuana can be used to reduce anxiety in women who feel that stress prevents them from fully enjoying a sexual experience.
Sexy Weed Strains For Better Sex
Now that you know that marijuana sex won’t damper your libido, in fact, quite the opposite, it’s time to choose a strain that will enhance overall sexual pleasure. In general, any type of sativa strain may contribute to more stamina and a mind-driven high between the sheets. Unlike indica strains, sativa strains have cannabinoids and terpenes that create a high that is invigorating and energizing. Moreover, a sativa strain may be better suitable for those engaging in physical activity. These are all obviously key components for a sultry marijuana sex session. A few sativa strains we think are great to indulge before a ravishing romp in the sack are:
- Wedding Cake: Berry, fruity, and sweet, although this is an indica dominant strain, it can help calm down nerves, control anxiety, and regulate depression. With anxiety and depression at bay, sex way more enjoyable.
- Zombie Haze: Spicy, sweet, and woody, don’t let the name fool you. This sativa dominant strain delivers a strong head high that leaves you floating on another level and shoves any negative or racing thoughts out of the way and replaces them with introspection and bliss. Couple this strain with some scintillating sexy time with your partner and you have a match made in heaven.
- Orange Crush: Spicy, sweet, and tangy, this sativa dominant strain delivers moderate cerebral effects and delivers a head high that is upbeat and happy. Perfect for a Sunday morning in bed with your sweetie.
Achieving The Big “O” with Cannabis Involved
While studies are still relatively new about the connection between cannabis and sex, more evidence showing that mixing romance and cannabis could help increase intimacy among couples. So if you think that smoking recreational weed will have you couch-locked and zoned out with your partner, think again.
Research is showing that pot users are not only more likely to have a better sexual experience after smoking pot but also have more orgasms. Weed, orgasms, and sex? Don’t be surprised if your munchies go on overdrive after just one session in bed with your honey.
So go ahead, break out your bowl, light some candles, and have a few puffs with your sweetheart beforehand. It won’t be long until you slip into divine love-making with the help of some dank bud and the sensual touch of your lover. Oh, yeah…
