High Desires: Exploring the Intersection of Sex and Marijuana
For those who have never experienced the euphoria of Stoner sex, I am here today to tell you what you have been missing out on and what the benefits are when combining Marijuana and Sex.
Marijuana in South Africa is slowly becoming more acceptable and more freely available to everybody. It’s a very grey area when looking at the legalities of Marijuana/Weed/Mary-Jane but that is not what we are worried about right now! If you can get your hands on some, whether it being in a bud, a joint or an edible then give it a try, even if its just once. You will not be sorry when it comes to that type of Elevated Ecstasy.
To compare the feeling of being stoned is nothing you can truly explain, but I will definitely try for those who are curious about it.
You know that feeling when you have had a few drinks and you start bordering on that tipsy feeling, where you start entering your own bubble, your own world and then on top of that you are as happy as you can ever be and all your worries are put to the side and you start thinking you can still do that cartwheel you did when you were a kid and your body becomes flexible (when in reality you really bloody can’t! and you should never try because you WILL feel it in the morning!) ?
Well, being stone is something like that, but you don’t have to urinate as often, you wont have a hangover the next morning, you are happy like never before and everything is funny, nothing and no one can steal your good mood away from you, your senses are heightened, your curiosity is always peaked, you can focus on one thing at a time if you choose and time is just an illusion, things can either happen quickly or slowly, that depends on what you are doing at the time. Any aches and pains you might have become dull, and you do have that moment when you think you can do a cartwheel like when you were a kid, but when you’re stoned then you know better than to try.
Being stoned doesn’t give you those uncontrollable feelings or movements like when you are tipsy or drunk, you can still control everything, it just feels like you’re walking on clouds and it helps you to think clearly if you don’t over do it. It also puts you in a hyperfocus mode.
So what are the differences between normal sex and stoner sex?
1. Increased Sensitivity
Marijuana is reported to enhance sensory perception. For some users, this can mean increased sensitivity to touch, heightened sensations, and a more profound sense of physical intimacy.
2. Reduction in Anxiety and Inhibition
Both THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive component of marijuana) and CBD are noted for their anxiety-reducing effects. Reduced anxiety can lead to decreased sexual inhibitions and enhanced libido. CBD, in particular, might be useful for those who experience performance anxiety.
3. Improved Mood
Cannabis is often used for its mood-lifting properties. A better mood can naturally lead to an increased interest in sex.
4. Pain Relief
For individuals experiencing painful conditions, especially chronic pain that can interfere with sex, both THC and CBD are known for their analgesic properties. Reducing pain can help increase comfort during sex, making physical intimacy more enjoyable.
5. Altered Perception of Time
THC can alter the perception of time, potentially making sexual experiences feel longer and more intense.
6. Increased Stamina and Duration
Some reports suggest that cannabis can help delay ejaculation, extending the duration of sexual activity.
7. Vasodilation
THC can cause vasodilation, which increases blood flow to tissues, including the genitals. This can enhance arousal and make sex more pleasurable.
Research and Considerations
However, it’s important to note that the effects of marijuana and CBD can vary greatly among individuals. While some may find that these substances enhance their sex life, others may experience negative effects such as decreased libido or difficulty achieving orgasm. Studies on the subject often show mixed results, and much of the evidence is anecdotal.
Researchers are still investigating how cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which is known to play a role in regulating mood, pain, and libido, among other functions.
As with any substance, it’s important to use marijuana or CBD responsibly and be aware of the legalities in your region. For those interested in exploring the potential benefits of cannabis or CBD on their sexual health, consulting with a healthcare provider or a knowledgeable cannabis clinician could provide personalized advice and safe usage guidelines.
Here are a few experiences from real people:
“Getting high was already another sensation that made a person feel all tingly…you add in the sexual attraction of your partner into that mix and the sex is out of this world. The arousal, heightened and every touch feels like the first time you did it with the one you love. There’s nothing like it and truthfully a highly recommended way to try something new”.
“I think it’s a pretty universal thing that being high makes sex crazy good. From personal experience, it increases physical sensations and my overall emotional experience during sex. So, being with the right partner still is important. But it does add an extra layer of awesomeness to sex. I think it also depends on how the high affects you and your partner. But smoking a bong before sex is best!!!”
“This hidden gem of high-altitude intimacy is not just about the thrill of sex or the joy of cannabis; it’s about experiencing life at a heightened state of awareness and connection. It’s a journey that challenges your body, teases your senses, and satisfies your soul. For the adventurous, the lovers, the dreamers, and the seekers, it’s a profound reminder that the most beautiful destinations require a climb, a risk, and a partner willing to share in the ascent.”
“I will say, having sex while stoned makes everything slow and intentional, like, it makes every breath and every stroke and every squirt something that is intentional and slow, nothing is rushed it feels like moment by moment as apposed to sort of this flurry of colours, its like every single thing is seen for what it is, even a single touch.”
“Being a regular smoker, you become used to the sensations you feel when you are stoned, but when you don’t smoke the sensations do seem to be a lot duller. I have been smoking for many years, but yes, the touch, the feel, the moment seems a lot more sensual. You feel more connected with your partner, you become more aware of them and their needs, you focus more on what makes them enjoy the moment and you enjoy the moment even more, everything is more intense and the intimacy and connection you feel with your partner is just…. I’m struggling to give the right description, but it is just amazing. It feels like the love is all around you and the vibe they give off, you can feel it on your skin, in your bones, just all around you and it makes it so much better.”
I really hope that this helped a few people understand the differences and that being in this frame of mind, all calm and in the moment, really isn’t a bad thing to experience once in a while. If you would ever like some guidance or just want to ask a few questions, please feel free to contact us.
