A study from Stanford University’s Medical Center found that the use of cannabis makes sex sexier! The throbbing study was conducted by Stanford’s Department of Urology, who studied the effect of weed and its effects on sexual pleasure. The study noted that “over 22 million Americans use cannabis monthly,” which is a lot of stoned people getting it on.
The sex study was given the unsexy name of “Assessment of the association of cannabis on sexual function with the SFI, or “Sexual Function Index, which measures desire, arousal, lubrication, pain, sexual satisfaction, and orgasm.”
According to the results, cannabis makes sex more pleasurable. Everyone from Urologists to Sex Therapists are now recommending using cannabis before sex to “enhance” couple’s sex lives. I have tried “toking and stroking” before sex, and sometimes if I’m lucky, it happens with another person.
According to the study, “results indicated that increasing frequency of cannabis use is associated with increased satisfaction, orgasm, and sexual desire.” The method of consumption didn’t seem to matter, with users smoking it, vaping it, eating it, or bonging it.
So what does the magical plant actually do? It lights up the nucleus accumbent section of the brain where dopamine is released. Neuroscientists refer to it as the brain’s “pleasure center.” It’s the same area that “lights up” when you do something pleasurable like listen to great music, see a fun movie, have sex, or laugh.
One reason that sex seems “better” is that the THC, the tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical that gets you high, binds to the brain’s receptive hippocampus, causing changes in the brain, and slowing down time. Your short-term memory becomes temporarily inhibited and you “stay in the moment.”
This is the moment when you become more receptive to touch and have a more sensual and electrifying experience. THC is also a vasodilator, so it increases blood floor to your lady business or your boner.
