People from across the word find that cannabis provides a little kick to their lovemaking to help keep things fresh. In addition to adding a little spice, couples that use cannabis together often report better relationships, more intimacy and a more powerful connection to their partner.
The aphrodisiacal effects of cannabis were well known even in ancient times. Tantric practitioners have used cannabis preparations like bhang for centuries to help reach new emotional and physical plateaus. Modern users may not be inventing new positions but they still benefit from the increased blood flow, reduced inhibitions and increased sensitivity that cannabis provides.
The proliferation of named strains with diverse terpene and cannabinoid profiles can make the process of adding cannabis to the bedroom a bit complicated. But it all boils down to how the strains make you feel. Sativas tend to increase mental stimulation, indicas increase physical stimulation and hybrids do a bit of both.
It’s important to note that edibles and concentrates can reduce desire if over consumed. Much like other depressants including alcohol, consuming a large amount can turn a night of passionate lovemaking into a literal snore fest. Most people find that the more stoned you are, the less your parts want to function. Because of this, we recommend light consumption until you know how your body reacts.
What gets you fired up may not do anything for your partner. It is important to learn how you and your lovers bodies react to cannabis. Use that info to make an informed decision about when, where and how to incorporate cannabis into the bedroom.
Make sure to talk with your partner about limitations and expectations before starting too. While cannabis can improve lovemaking, it can also create a wedge if treated improperly. If your partner is uncomfortable with the idea of smoking before or during sex, respect their boundaries.
That doesn't mean to give up if your partner is hesitant. Some people simply need reassurances while others may feel inadequate or unsafe. Don't disregard these fears but take small, clearly defined, and mutually agreed upon steps towards overcoming those hang-ups in a healthy and respectful way.
