As a couple’s therapist, I’ve heard many clients claim that they find sex more pleasurable when high. This is mostly anecdotal, but research is beginning to show that cannabis can be a great sexual enhancer.
When used responsibly, it can help people lower their inhibitions in bed and try new things. This can lead to deeper connections, stronger feelings of relaxation, and orgasms that last longer.
Relaxed
Weed can be a relaxing and mood-lifting drug, which is incredibly useful during sex. This helps you to loosen up, relax, and focus solely on enjoying the pleasures of your partner. It can also encourage you to try new positions, and it can help you to get more creative with the ways that you and your partner can enjoy each other’s company in the bedroom.
However, if you smoke too much on a regular basis, it can cause the vaginal tissues to dry out, which can affect your ability to reach orgasm. It’s also important to avoid stimulants like caffeine and sugar, scary movies, or stressful situations, as these can distract you from your pleasure and make it harder to achieve that meditative state needed for good sex.
Participants in a study on how alcohol and marijuana affect sex reported that they felt more relaxed, tender, and slow during sexual experiences while high than when they were drunk. They also reported that they enjoyed sex longer when they were high, which is likely due to the fact that the physical sensations are heightened by marijuana but are desensitized by alcohol.
Euphoric
Euphoria is a feeling of intense happiness that can occur naturally. It can be experienced through recreational activities such as taking a ride on an amusement park roller coaster or after achieving a major goal. However, euphoria can also be caused by certain mental health conditions.
Feeling euphoric isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it is important to recognize when you are being induced by substances and/or your mental health condition. Using drugs to achieve this feeling is risky and can cause addiction. This is why it is important to talk to your doctor if you experience feelings of euphoria and you don’t know the source of the feeling.
Cannabis is a plant that contains many chemicals called cannabinoids. The cannabinoid THC is known for its euphoric effects. You can get a high from smoking marijuana, edibles or tinctures. You can also find products that contain CBD, which doesn’t have psychoactive properties. Many of these products can help you to relax and become euphoric without the side effects. They can also be used as lubricants to increase sexual pleasure.
Intense
For a long time, Cannabis and sex were seen as taboo subjects. But now that both are becoming more widely accepted and legal, people are experimenting with them in new ways. And while sex while high can be scary, it can also lead to amazing things like new orgasms and sexual awakenings.
Cannabis can help you get out of your head and into the moment. Your senses are amplified, so you can feel the texture of your lover’s skin and the smell of their body. And if they’re using a lubricant, you might feel the sensations ripple over your entire body.
It might be hard to believe, but a lot of people have very intense orgasms while high. And the best part is that it’s something you can share with your partner. A few tokes before bed can make your lovemaking into a sensual ritual, not unlike dinner and a glass of wine. And while booze can sometimes lead to regret, weed doesn’t. So if you’re both responsible, it can be a great way to boost your lovemaking.
Creative
Being creative is an essential part of sex, and cannabis can enhance creativity by encouraging divergent thinking. This can result in new ideas for how to explore your partner, try different sex positions or even experiment with music.
Another way marijuana can promote creativity is by making you laugh. It’s no secret that laughing at the most mundane, commonplace things makes you feel good. And if you’re high, the combination of weed and laughter may be more than a little magical.
It is worth mentioning that it’s important to know your limits and not push yourself too hard when consuming cannabis. But if you’re smart about the amount you consume, you can be sure to experience an elevated level of creativity that can help with your sexual satisfaction. Just be careful not to overdose. Too much THC can impair your ability to think clearly, so always be mindful of the dosage you take. This is why it’s always a good idea to start low and work your way up. You can also rely on the anti-anxiety effects of CBD to counteract any negative effects from too much THC.
Safe
As cannabis becomes increasingly accepted in our society, the idea of high sex doesn’t raise quite as many eyebrows as it once did. However, it’s not without its risks.
While it’s true that weed can lower inhibitions, it also has the potential to make people over-estimate their sexual power, leading to an increased risk of injury and/or STI. Moreover, some people find that their minds become occupied by other things while they’re high, which can be distracting during foreplay and reduce intimacy.
Other negative effects can include an inability to reach orgasm or a less-satisfactory orgasm. In addition, marijuana can dry out mucous membranes, which could lead to vaginal pain during sex.
While these problems are real, they can be overcome by taking a few precautions. First, it’s important to be honest with your partner about the state of your relationship and whether sex is something you want to do while high. Additionally, be sure to use protection even if you know your partner is tested and has no history of STIs. It’s also a good idea to bring your phone with you, so that you can text or call if needed.
