A recent scientific assessment of scholarly studies on human sexuality and cannabis has found that there is a complex link between sex and cannabis use. However, the general consensus is that cannabis tends to increase the frequency, enjoyment and desire for sex.
The review, published in the “Psychopharmacology Journal,” suggests that higher amounts of cannabis may impair performance and desire, while smaller doses may be more favorable to sexual fulfillment. The effects also appear to vary based on gender.
The study’s authors noted that marijuana can improve intimacy with partners, reduce shame and anxiety, lessen inhibitions and increase sexual pleasure. The authors also observed enhanced sensory sensations during sex and greater enjoyment during masturbation, suggesting that cannabis has a major effect on sex experiences.
The review emphasizes that sex is influenced by a variety of emotional and physical factors, and cannabis affects people in a holistic way that can influence both the emotional and physical aspects of sexual experiences.
Though there is limited study on women’s experiences, women appear to gain more from cannabis use in terms of its sexual effects than men do. The authors noted that low dosages of hypnotic cannabinoids and sedatives, such as THCV and THC, may lessen sexual activity anxiety, which may increase arousal and desire for sexual activity, particularly in women.
For men, findings are mixed, with some studies indicating that marijuana use can lead to premature and delayed ejaculation as well as erectile dysfunction, while others suggest the opposite.
Dosage and frequency of marijuana use are key factors, although more research is needed. Higher sexual function seems to be associated, at least generally, with regular cannabis use. A survey cited in the review found that women who used cannabis more frequently performed better than those who did so infrequently on tests of female sexual function.
Increased cannabis use frequency correlated with better overall FSFI scores and improvements in orgasm, desire, satisfaction domains, arousal and orgasm. Higher frequency categories also saw a decline in reports of sexual dysfunction. According to one study, women who used cannabis regularly were twice as likely as infrequent users to report having satisfying orgasms.
Men who regularly use cannabis have been linked to orgasm-related issues, such as early or delayed ejaculation. However, another study found no link between the frequency of cannabis usage and problems maintaining an erection.
Given the varied and occasionally contradictory results, the researchers have advocated for additional studies to account for other variables. The authors noted that cannabis has a varied impact on human sexuality, including both negative and positive. They emphasized the need for additional study to understand how marijuana affects sexuality, as doing so may lessen harm and even enhance human experiences.
With the insights so far gleaned, consumers can be assured that moderately using various marijuana products from the hundreds of licensed companies such as Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE: GTII) (OTCQX: GTBIF) could be beneficial to their well-being without triggering notable adverse events.
