Research shows CBD can improve your sex life
It’s tempting to think of CBD as the new Viagra. Not necessarily because of its reputation for boosting sexual performance, but because it’s legal in most countries, including the UK.
CBD (cannabidiol) for women is a hot topic these days. But if you’re confused about how CBD can help improve sex, I’m here to fill you in on what it’s all about—and how it can improve your sex life.
People look to CBD for sex for a number of reasons, including pain from chronic conditions.
Other reasons include:
- increasing pleasure
- Easing stress and anxiety, including performance anxiety
- Setting the right mood
When it comes to issues of lubrication during sex, Alex Capano, medical director for Ananda Hemp and faculty member at the Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp at Thomas Jefferson University, explains that CBD may help. Source.
“There are so many cannabinoid receptors in reproductive organs and sexual tissue. CBD increases blood flow to tissues, which increases sensitivity and promotes the body’s own natural lubrications,” says Capano.
For individuals like Allison Wallis, CBD helps foster relaxation for sex. Wallis has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a condition that causes joint subluxations and severe muscle spasms. She explains that she’s experienced the benefits of CBD firsthand when she tried a lubricant infused with cannabidiol.
“It relaxes my muscles and allows for much more enjoyable sex,” she says, adding that the lube induces a “feeling of warmth and relaxation.”
“I was surprised by how well it worked. It allowed me to focus on the intimacy of the act instead of my muscle spasms.”
Furthermore, CBD may elicit romantic feelings in some people. CBD appears to be useful at reducing stress and anxiety, according to research. This relaxation can help to eliminate the distractions and worries that can sabotage a satisfying sexual encounter.
“There’s a big part of quiet the mind and truly focusing on appreciating,” Capano explains.
“This is especially true for women in heterosexual relationships, who are frequently under the pressure to orgasm.”
While CBD does not produce a euphoric effect, it does have the potential to improve your mood by boosting the neurotransmitter anandamide.
