It can be uncomfortable to converse about having a lack of libido, but it’s a common problem that affects adults everywhere. Although you may feel uncomfortable talking about it, your sexual health is important, sexual health correlates with both mental health and quality of life. The condition can be caused by psychological and physical conditions such as weight concerns, medications, alcohol and drug use, age, hormone changes, trauma, and more. There is no pill to assist in fixing your libido, but maybe this Valentine’s cannabis can help.
Cannabis can work as an aphrodisiac if you dose appropriately. A large study on cannabis and sex frequency utilized data from 28,176 women and 22,943 men. The research indicated the use of cannabis is associated with increased sexual frequency and does not appear to impair sexual function.
So, what is causing this spike in sexual desire when you utilize cannabis?
Our body’s endocannabinoid system naturally produces Anandamide (AEA) chemical, which can amplify sensory pleasure. It also produces a chemical called Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) which plays a role in the rewarding aspects of sexual arousal and orgasm. THC can assist with sensory, while CBD can assist with mood. When utilizing cannabis, Phytocannabinoid such as THC and CBD work equivalently to AEA and 2-AG. You can supplement with cannabis when your body is not naturally producing enough of its natural components. Cannabis can also reduce the anxiety and shameful thoughts around sex making the experience more pleasurable.
