Cannabis for Sexual Health & Wellness
Sexual wellness refers to a blend of physical, mental, and social well-being that connects with sexuality. It is a process of understanding sexuality beyond sex and masturbation, bringing our physical health in tune with our emotions to boost our overall health.
Sexual wellness is not the absence of a disease or disorder but rather a change or maintenance of a particular lifestyle. Factors such as diet, exercise, safe sex, etc. affect a person’s sexual wellness.
The use of cannabis for sexual wellness amounts to using cannabis compounds to enhance our sexual health and libido in order to experience a better sexual experience.

How does Cannabis help achieve Sexual Wellness?
Sexual Wellness is affected by factors such as metabolism, muscle flexibility, diet, exercise, sex drive, pleasure sensation etc. Some compounds in the cannabis plant have properties that can benefit a person’s sexual health.
Ways in which Cannabis Supports our Sexual Health
Pain Relief
Experiencing pain before, during, or after sex is a common problem for many people. Not only does painful sex affect sexual desire and enjoyment, but it also impacts relationships and overall quality of life.
Sexual discomfort may be a result of lack of lubrication, inflammation, or infection. Cannabis compounds have anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce pain during and after sex, contributing to a more comfortable sexual experience.

Improved Sleep
Lack of sleep is another factor that interferes with our sex life. The use of cannabis for sleep disorders such as insomnia is well known.
Cannabis compounds can help remedy sleeplessness by addressing factors such as stress and anxiety. A well-rested body is more reactive to sexual desire and pleasures.
Increased Libido
Decreased libido can be a result of many factors, performance anxiety and generalised stress being the two most common ones. Because cannabis compounds induce a sense of calm in the body, they may help increase the desire for sex.
Moreover, cannabinoids such as THC induce a ‘euphoric’ feeling in the body wherein the sense of experience is increased.
Research tells us that if used before sex, cannabis can enhance sexual desire and pleasure, thus leading to a more satisfying experience.

Psychological Relief
Psychological issues such as stress, anxiety, depression can lead to low levels of arousals which may result in pain or discomfort during intercourse.
Compounds in the cannabis plant have the potential to relieve stress, anxiety, and depression. This relief increases the body’s ability to react to sexual desire positively thus enabling a satisfying sexual experience.
