Typically, smoking or ingesting cannabis is all about getting high and feeling good. However, what if “feeling good” referred to more than just your mental state? As weed legalization has become mainstream, more couples are starting to see that adding a little Mary Jane to the bedroom adds extra excitement and enjoyment to the entire experience.
So, if you’re looking for a way to spice up your sex life (or are just curious about cannabis’ effects on your libido), here’s everything you need to know.

Cannabis and Sexual Health: A Primer
One benefit of marijuana legalization is that it’s much easier for researchers to study the plant and its various side effects. While there haven’t been extensive studies showing the link between cannabis and sex, preliminary results look very promising. For example, one study illustrates that a moderate amount of THC can enhance the physical sensation of intimacy (while too much can have the opposite effect).
Also, given how cannabis can affect the brain, researchers have tried to determine if smoking or ingesting weed could lead to higher rates of erectile dysfunction (ED). Fortunately, it looks like it doesn’t, but only if you use an average amount of weed. Again, too much, and you’ll likely have a less-than-desirable experience.
Pros and Cons of Using Cannabis as an Aphrodisiac
If you haven’t considered incorporating marijuana into your sexual activities, the idea may seem exciting. However, it’s imperative to understand both the advantages and disadvantages of cannabis and how it can affect you and your partner. Here’s a quick overview:
- Pro: Better Sensation – As a rule, physical stimuli feel better when you’re high, such as eating or getting aroused. So, the various sensations associated with sex can be heightened, leading to a more fulfilling experience.
- Con: Not All Strains are Alike – Some weed strains may make sex feel incredible, while others might worsen its impact. So, there could be some trial and error if you’re trying to find the best cannabis for sex.
- Pro: Improved Sex for Both Partners – Part of intimacy is doing things together, so if you get high before having sex, you can extend the experience and feel more connected to your partner. Also, the heightened sensation can lead to more frequent orgasms for both of you.
- Con: It’s Easy to Go Overboard – If you like to get high, you should know your limits. However, one too many puffs can make it harder to concentrate on the task at hand, or you might even feel too sleepy or groggy to keep going.
Tips for Incorporating Cannabis Into Your Relationship
Even if you’re ready to start smoking and getting it on with your partner right now, it’s best to consider all the variables first. So, here are some top tips to ensure you and your partner get the most out of the situation.
- Use Sativa, Not Indica – As a rule, Indica-heavy strains will make you feel relaxed, and some of them can trigger intense sluggishness or “couch lock.” By comparison, Sativa-heavy strains tend to stimulate the brain and increase physical sensations.
- Discuss Your Options First – You may love the idea of getting high before having sex, but your partner may not. Always talk about what you want to do before you do it so there are no surprises in the bedroom. You may also have different preferred methods of consuming cannabis, so you can discuss those, too.
- Start Small – Because too much weed can detract from sex, you want to avoid using too much. So, start with a small amount and see how it goes. Once you’ve gotten the basic elements figured out, you can start increasing the potency.
- Don’t Forget About Topical Creams or Oils – One way to get your motor running is to have a sensual massage session with your partner. If you use THC-infused creams or oils (like the Citrine Volva Intimate Oil, which helps rejuvenate the skin while boosting your libido), you can get a tingly sensation, which helps your body relax before getting down to business.
