The Best Cannabis Strains for Sex, Passion, and a Bigger Libido (Herbies Seeds Should Know!)
From improved relaxation to pain reduction, cannabis is known for its incredible range of medicinal benefits. However, one of the most overlooked lifestyle benefits of weed is its ability to improve sex and libido.
According to a Stanford study, people who use marijuana regularly have about 20% more sex than those who abstain. Weed can increase not only the amount of sex you have but also the pleasure experienced. There are likely a variety of reasons that cause weed to up the ante in the bedroom, so keep reading to find out all the steamy details!
When a natural substance increases sexual desire, it’s often dubbed an aphrodisiac. This means that it interacts with your body’s sex hormones, making you want to get it on soon after consumption.
Common foods said to have aphrodisiac properties include dark chocolate, oysters, strawberries, alcohol, and even honey. Some so-called aphrodisiacs increase sexual desire by invoking relaxation and uplifting the mood. All you have to do is be in the right place at the right time for them to work their magic.
Cannabis is known to boost the libido, but for more reasons than other aphrodisiacs. It enhances relaxation, increases sensitivity to physical touch, and can intensify feelings that you’re already having. Certain terpenes can increase the intensity of these key components.
One study concluded that 68.5% of participants found their sexual experience more pleasurable after weed, 60.6% noted an increased sex drive, and 52.8% had more satisfying orgasms.
So, provided that you choose a strain with all the right components for your sex life, you can be sure that using weed before sex will enhance the experience in a myriad of ways.
Cannabis has been part of human sexual history for millenia, spanning many cultures such as ancient Rome, India, and Medieval Europe.
Some cultures used marijuana for rituals that ended in sexual intercourse, while others used it to become more interconnected. Either way, marijuana and sex seem to have been married for generations.
For example, weed has been used to stimulate and enhance the sexual experience in India for more than 3,000 years. It’s a great addition to the Tantric practices of Hindu and Buddhist practitioners, enhancing the connection between people.
The good news is that the type of weed you use is not important for improving your sex. Both Sativas and Indicas can be great orgasm inducers. However, what is important is the strain’s terpene profile, as not all terpenes have an equal effect on the libido.
For weed to enhance your sex drive and sexual pleasure, the strain you choose before sexy time needs to contain at least one of the following terpenes:
-
Myrcene
-
Pinene
-
Limonene
-
Caryophyllene
-
Linalool
The reason why these terpenes are so important for better sex is because of their effects on the body and mind. You need a strain with terpenes that enhance relaxation, physical sensitivity, and mood. Without these three things, it’s easier to let your stress and anxiety get the better of you, negatively impacting your sex life.
Another thing to consider is pain during sex. Some people experience painful intercourse so often that it sabotages their sex life entirely. If this is the case for you, choose a strain that has pain-relieving properties along with the above terpenes.
