The results of a small study conducted by researchers from the University of Almeria in Spain suggest that marijuana use may improve arousal, intimacy and orgasms.
A survey of 274 people aged between 18 and 30 found that individuals who consumed cannabis prior to activity in the bedroom recalled more satisfying experiences compared to those who abstained from use of the substance or mixing it with alcohol. The study enlisted 89 male and 185 female volunteers who use cannabis, alcohol or neither of the two, excluding individuals with conditions such as depression or diabetes. Due to the size of the study, results cannot be generalised and “should be interpreted cautiously,” the researchers noted.
An unrelated 2017 study had also found that cannabis users tend to engage in more sexual activity compared to those who don’t and while such studies are inconclusive, they may open doors to cannabis’ medicinal capabilities for those who struggle with sexual dysfunction.
Internal medicine physician and president of the Association of Cannabis Specialists Dr. Jordan Tishler stated that patients regularly ask him whether or not they can incorporate marijuana use into their sex lives to handle certain difficulties related to sexual activity.
