CBD AND INTIMACY

Cannabidiol, or CBD, has become a world-wide sensation. From being the primary ingredient in many supplements to being added to menus at restaurants, it is hard to miss it. 

Although CBD is a component of medical marijuana, it actually comes from the hemp plant, the marijuana plant’s cousin. Despite its origins, CBD does not cause a “high” in the way that marijuana does. In fact, the World Health Organization has stated that CBD does not lead to any abuse or dependency, adding that “there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

CBD has many uses, but it is often used to counter anxiety and insomnia. Several studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep and staying asleep. Then there are the sexual benefits…

What does the research say?

The addition of CBD into sexual stimulants is fairly new but exciting. The research is mixed. Some studies have backed the idea that CBD boosts libido, while others claim that it decreases it.

What seems to be clear is that CBD has a powerful relaxation effect. For example, research published in the journal Sports Med – Open, suggests that CBD can help tackle anxiety and other stressful situations.

If you apply this research to sex and intimacy, you can see where the potential benefits are - a soothing, more intimate erotic experience.

CBD and THC

Tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC, is the component found in marijuana that is responsible for producing that euphoric “high” feeling. However, unlike THC, CBD does not produce any “high.” An article published in Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research argues that even high doses of CBD do not result in a THC-like effect. 

How do CBD stimulants work?

There are a variety of CBD stimulants on the market, each having their pros and cons. One benefit is the soothing effect of CBD.

There is some evidence that CBD can benefit those with chronic pain, according to the National Centers for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). This suggests that it can help make sex easier, and therefore more satisfying.

One brand that is paving the way for sexual wellness with CBD is Foria. They are an innovative health & sexual wellness company that uses all-natural Cannabis & Hemp formulas in their products.

Their unique formulas serve a variety of needs, from topical oils to suppositories. Each brings the benefit of CBD and its soothing effects into the palm on your hand. Whether you use them by yourself, or with a partner, these wonderful stimulants will surely transform your sex life.

CBD sexual benefits

CDB stimulants can help improve intimacy due to its soothing effects, which in this case could be delivered directly to intimate areas. Some of these effects include:

1) Reduced pain during penetration

2) Decreased inflammation

3) Improved gut health

4) Better sleep

5) Calmed nerves

6) Some research has reported that excessive use of cannabis can lower the sex drive of men. However, as mentioned, CBD is extracted from the hemp plant and does not produce a “high”. It’s therefore important to make sure you are buying quality CBD products from quality brands.

Tips for using CBD stimulants

1) Apply it 30-60 minutes beforehand, which will give it enough time for the effects to take hold.

2) Do your research. Make sure you buy quality products with real CBD by reading up about the product and the company behind it.

3) If you want to use oil-based products, first make sure your sex toys are compatible with it.

4) Avoid using any CBD product if you (or your partner) are possibly allergic to it or any of its ingredients.

CBD products for better sex

Foria has a range of CBD stimulants to help you achieve better intimacy and sex. This includes their CBD suppositories, which Foria claim can “awaken arousal and deepen sensual pleasure”. These suppositories could possibly help relax your muscles and increase your erotic stimulation. 

Then there’s Foria’s CBD Lubricant, which can also be used as an intimate massage oil for yourself or with a partner. This particular lube can help make penetration easier and can also help soothe any discomfort. The great thing about it is that the lube is actually edible, 100% plant-based, and gluten-free.

Conclusion

CBD stimulants are not an end-all and be-all solution. However, it can definitely give you the edge when it comes to sexual satisfaction. Before you decide to give them a go, have a discussion with your partner about what they are looking for in the bedroom. This can help you buy the right type of stimulant.
