A recent study from Stanford’s University Medical
Center found that the use of cannabis makes sexy
time sexier. The throbbing new study, published in
the Journal of Sexual Medicine, and conducted by
Stanford University’s Medical Center department
of urology, studied the effect of weed and its effect
on female pleasure. It’s all about the lady business
these days.
The sex study was given the non-sexy title of
“Assessment of the association of cannabis on female
sexual function with the sexual function index,” or
“SFI.” This index measures desire, arousal, lubrication,
pain, sexual satisfaction, and orgasm.
According to the study, “results indicated that
increasing frequency of cannabis use is associated
with increased satisfaction, orgasm and sexual desire.
Users found more sexual pleasure than non-users.
Women who used cannabis had higher SFI scores
and reported lower levels of pain, and notably higher
levels of arousal and satisfaction. The study also
noted that “over 22 million Americans use cannabis
monthly,” which is a lot of stoned people getting it on.
The method of consumption didn’t seem to matter,
with users smoking it, vaping it, eating it, or bonging
it. The study was given to 452 women who received
the survey at a cannabis dispensary in California,
where weed went from medical to even more legal,
recreational status in 2018.
Since marijuana has been illegal for so many years
only a few studies were even conducted, except for
one in 1970, no doubt by stoner hippie scientists,
and a few in the mid-1980’s that made the same
conclusions that the modern day studies are making.
Cannabis is now a billion-dollar industry with millions of
people “toking and stroking,” but without a hangover
the morning after.
A previous cannabis & sex study at Stanford in 2017
of more than 50,000 men and women concluded that
“marijuana use is associated with increased sexual
frequency and does not appear to impair sexual
function.” That study found that “the higher frequency
users reported experiencing more pleasure and more
frequent orgasms.
THE MAGIC OF THE MEDICINE
Cannabis use during sex goes back to the ancient
ritual of Tantric Sex, and is now being used by people
