Improve your sex life with CBD

Throughout history, hemp has been used for its medicinal properties since time immemorial. It possesses numerous beneficial properties, partly due to its interaction with the endocannabinoid system.

 

The endocannabinoid system consists of a set of receptors found throughout humans and mammals, primarily in the central nervous system. Two receptors particularly sensitive to cannabinoids are CB1 and CB2. CB1 receptors, which are the most numerous, are found notably in certain areas of the sexual reproductive organs.[1]

Can CBD spice up your sex life?

Although studies on cannabidiol (CBD), a molecule derived from the hemp plant like THC*, and its impact on the endocannabinoid system are still ongoing, it is generally accepted that CBD has broad and varied effects due to its interaction with these receptors, particularly CB1 [2]. Given the presence of these receptors in the reproductive organs of both men and women, studies have revealed an improvement in sexual function among usaCBD.

 

 

 

According to an American study conducted between March 2016 and February 2017 in the form of a questionnaire, 34% of the 373 women interviewed reported experiencing an increase in libido and reaching more intense and faster orgasmsafter taking marijuana [3].

 

Along the same lines, a study conducted on 5398 Americans, 9% of whom reported consuming CBD before having sex, found that 31% of men and 33% of women experienced an improvement in orgasm.

 

Finally, a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine demonstrates the role of the endocannabinoid system in sexual function [4], and therefore also in its dysfunction, ranging from loss of libido and erectile dysfunction to pain experienced during intercourse by some women (dyspareunia). Similarly, studies have also shown the effect of CBD in women suffering from painful periods.

 

Stress, a major factor in loss of libido

Numerous studies show that CBD may have anxiolytic and anti-inflammatory properties5].

 

Thus, since stress or pain is often a contributing factor to sexual problems, CBD can have a positive impact by reducing this stress and pain. Furthermore, as the stress of daily life reduces libido or is the cause of some erectile dysfunctions (performance anxiety in men), it is clear that the relaxation induced by taking CBD and its effect on anxietycan only improve one's sex life!

CBD may help with age-related erectile problems

Erectile dysfunction is caused by reduced blood flow and tissue damage. These problems are often more common with age.

 

As men age, they produce dioxin, a toxin that plays a major role in erectile dysfunction. According to a recent study, CBD reduces this toxin in the body7]

 

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a natural molecule with no side effects. It could therefore be an additional option before trying therapy with a sex therapist or taking other medications. Trying it to improve one's sex life is an increasingly common choice; however, remember to consult a doctor if you have any specific medical conditions and/or are taking any other medication.

In what form should CBD be taken?

There are CBD-based lubricating gels for application to intimate areas, but their effectiveness has not been scientifically proven. We recommend usingusain the form of an oil placed under the tongue, allowing the molecule to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream and thus interacting with all endocannabinoid receptors, including those in the brain.

 

 

How to take CBD oil

Simply place a few drops of cannabidiol oil directly under your tongue for quick and effective absorption. While there is no risk of overdose with CBD , we advise starting with the lowest possible dose, as everyone reacts differently to the substance, and then gradually increasing the dose until you experience relief.
