CBD + SEX?

27/06/2023

Cannabidiol, the non-psychoactive component of cannabis, has some pleasant surprises for those who use it. In particular, evidence suggests CBD might be improving sex life [1].

So far, little is known about the intimate effects of CBD, which is anecdotal evidence that unfortunately outstrips scientific research [2, 3]

However, the popularity of CBD-infused sex products is growing rapidly [4]. According to a survey, 9% of CBD users in the United States used it specifically to improve sex, and the majority said that intimate sensations became better [5].

How CBD impacts sex: the "touch effect" of cannabidiol.

Regular use of CBD has a holistic effect on the body, so its beneficial effects are expected to affect the sexual function as well. There is still a lack of scientific research on the direct effects of CBD on various aspects of sexual life. Luckily, CBD safety is proven, so everyone can try CBD oil and see how it works for them.

CBD reduces stress and anxiety

Constant high levels of stress can easily cause "problems in bed". CBD has a proven calming effect, in particular, it reduces reaction to stress, and its effectiveness is not inferior to pharmaceutical drugs [6].

CBD reduces pain and inflammation

Pain during sex can become a difficult obstacle [7]. One of the main causes of chronic pain is systemic inflammation, which is the cause of a decrease in sexual desire and arousal in women [8]. CBD also has a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect. The analgesic effect of CBD oil occurs both when taken orally and when applied to the skin [9].

Cannabidiol reduces inflammation, pain and promotes relaxation in the body, as a result, CBD enhances pleasant sensations.

CBD improves blood circulation

CBD promotes relaxation of blood vessels, and generally improves the circulatory function [10].

CBD helps to improve blood circulation and increases sensitivity of body tissues, leading to increased natural lubrication [11].

How to use CBD to improve sex?

CBD is known for its safety so there is no harm in a little experiment. Experts recommend trying a small amount of CBD about 30 to 60 minutes before sex. Meanwhile, CBD oil is an excellent addition to the massage made with love [12].

Cannabis can do more.

Cannabis (that contains psychoactive THC) enhances sensory sensations, in particular those associated with erotic pleasure [13]. 811 cannabis users aged 18 to 85 took part in the survey, >70% of respondents said that cannabis increased their sexual desire and orgasm intensity [14, 15].

While, THC is illegal in Ukraine, CBD is a completely legal, biologically active supplement that can improve some of the most intimate aspects of your life.
