CBD AND SEX

Sex can be an uncomfortable experience for some people due to chronic pain, anxiety, or inflammation. In many instances, individuals may feel the need to lubricate themselves prior to engaging in sexual behaviors, whether it be with alcohol or THC, but CBD offers a non-psychoactive alternative.

The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system is found in the human body and contains the largest number of receptors out of any system. CB1 and CB2 receptors are found in the brain and nervous system, while CB2 receptors are located in the immune system and on many organs.

Cannabinoids are naturally produced in the body, but at times an individual’s system may become imbalanced. Cannabinoids, including CBD, act on these receptors to bring the body back to homeostasis, reduce inflammation, reduce anxiety and decrease pain.

Sex and Anxiety

Many individuals experience feelings of anxiousness during sex, whether it be due to their body image, a new partner or feelings of inadequacy. This anxiety can lead to performance issues in the bedroom and eventual withdrawal from sexual activities.

CBD oil can help. Topical CBD oils and creams can be rubbed on genitalia before sex to reduce worry and anxiety. As the genitalia are extremely absorptive areas, CBD will enter the bloodstream quickly, producing fairly immediate results. This makes dosing easy for most people.

CBD products can also be smoked, eaten or vaped prior to sex. This will allow for maximum absorption (up to 90%) and immediate results. As CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, it will not alter a person’s consciousness, as opposed to drinking alcohol. This will allow the consumer to remain clear-headed if they find themselves in a potentially compromising situation. 

Pain During Sex

Pain is common during sex, whether it be pain with penetration, inflammation from an infection or general dryness of sexual organs. CBD oils and creams can be very beneficial in reducing these symptoms during sex.

Oils and creams act as pre-lubricant for sex and moisturize the sex organs. CBD products also act to calm pain and inflammation in genitalia and the body and some may have antibacterial properties.

As with all oils and creams applied to genitalia, watch out for sensitivity. Some products may not agree with an individual’s natural flora and fauna and may cause more harm than good.

Have Fun and Try New Things

Sex can be a very intimate act between two people or a lot of one-night fun! Whatever an individual is into, CBD may enhance the experience. Experimentation with CBD products is important. Find what works best for you and your partner(s) and enjoy the ride.
