Cannabis has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties, and its effects on libido are no exception. A recent study of 202 participants revealed that 58.9% reported an increase in sexual desire, 73.8% reported increased sexual satisfaction, 74.3% reported greater sensitivity to touch, and 65.7% reported an increase in the intensity of orgasms. However, it is important to note that marijuana use can also cause a drop in testosterone levels in men, which can lead to a decreased sperm count and difficulty or inability to reach orgasm during intimate activity. The impact of cannabis on libido may depend on the dose, as lower amounts of THC are correlated with higher levels of arousal and satisfaction.
Stanley likes to complement the cannabis sativa flower in his herbal blends that stimulate the libido, and he finds other medicinal plants, such as Damiana, used for centuries as an aphrodisiac, that go very well with it. Plant compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which then affect hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. Studies have shown that marijuana affects people's libidos very differently, increasing for some and decreasing for others. The effect on sperm production appears to be temporary and reversible when smokers abstain, although research in general is inconclusive.
Therefore, it is important to consider all factors that influence libido when considering marijuana use.
