Cannabidiol (CBD) has helped people countless ways, from alleviating racing thoughts to relieving muscle tension. As research into its benefits continues to grow, the link between CBD and sex is finally being explored. We’ve gathered the facts to answer the question, “Does CBD make you last longer?”
Erectile dysfunction (ED), performance anxiety, and reduced libido are natural to experience, but they can put a damper on anyone’s sex life. Taking CBD may help, and to understand how we need to examine several aspects of its benefits. Let’s see what happens when we bring CBD into the bedroom!
There’s a reason we call it being “in the mood,” and that’s because sexual arousal is easier when both partners are in the right state of mind. Inhibitions such as poor respiration, heart rate, or tension can distract from sex. Fortunately, CBD improves both our physical and mental wellness.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a large role in our ability to have an orgasm. One study examined the link between the ECS and arousal in women with favorable results. When our ECS is functioning to the best of its ability, we are more likely to have better sex.
We can boost our ECS with cannabidiol. CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in our bodies. This interaction assists the ECS’s efficacy. This makes it easier for the ECS to produce endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are produced by our bodies, while plants make phytocannabinoids.
Hemp contains phytocannabinoids such as CBD. Two of the endocannabinoids our bodies create — 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) and anandamide — are directly related to sexual pleasure. Anandamide is known as the “bliss molecule,” and 2-AG spikes during orgasm.
Nervousness about performance, insecurity, and physical impediments can have an adverse effect on the body’s ability to produce 2-AG and anandamide. CBD soothes tension, centers the brain, and aids the ECS. This may increase your 2-AG and anandamide levels, making it easier to get in the mood.
We’ve seen how using CBD can enhance our sexual experience, but can it help with premature ejaculation? This depends on each individual, as premature ejaculation can be caused by mental and/or physical barriers. CBD promotes one of the most vital body functions for sex: blood flow.
When we’re aroused, blood rushes to the genitals. Poor blood flow can result in ED in men or difficulty reaching orgasm in women. ED is a legitimate physical condition, but it typically results from mental stress for many males under the age of 40.
If a man cannot maintain an erection, his libido, excitement, and focus on his partner may suffer. This can result in an orgasm that is too quick or too delayed, which may only worsen the problem. Optimal blood flow helps men stay erect longer, which allows both partners to focus on each other.
In this way, CBD helps premature ejaculation. It keeps a man from growing anxious by maximizing blood flow and reducing mental anguish. When the focus is on pleasure rather than performance, everyone involved can last longer!
Remember when we mentioned those cannabinoid receptors in our bodies? They are called CB1 and CB2, and they are cannabidiol’s pathway toward boosting our ECS. Those receptors have been found in reproductive organs such as the testicles.
CBD’s interaction with these receptors may boost libido by stimulating the blood vessels in the genitalia. This ensures that not only is blood flow optimal, but it’s concentrated in just the right areas. This is crucial for our sex organs in different ways in males and females.
We’ve seen how CBD’s effects can cause a man to have a longer erection — “longer” in terms of duration, that is. In a woman, CBD products can aid natural lubrication and sensitivity. In both sexes, these effects bolster the sex drive and minimize distractions.
There are countless CBD products available, and many are designed with a specific purpose. For example, while anyone can benefit from a CBD salve, it is especially helpful for those suffering from muscle tension. Similarly, any CBD product can assist sex, but some are intended for the sheets:
Lubrication is perhaps the most popular CBD-infused intimacy product. It mixes well with cannabidiol oil and comes in nearly every imaginable form. There are lubes that help stimulate, desensitize, and provide cooling or warming effects.
You can use CBD lotion of any kind to give your partner a relaxing massage. There are cannabinoid receptors in our skin that interact with CBD, soothing the muscles and enhancing pleasure. Not all lotion is safe for application to the genitals, so be sure you double-check the label before purchase.
Using oral products can be a great way to receive a quick CBD dose in the middle of the day. They can also be combined with compounds that cause a cooling sensation, pleasant fragrances, and stimulation. Try an oral spray to give your partner enhanced uplifting feelings the next time you go down.
Anyone who’s incorporated food into their sex life knows that certain treats are more erotic than others. If you’re using CBD edibles, consider the setting and your partner as you shop. Allergies and crumbs in the sheets won’t do much to make sex better!
CBD oil is one of the most versatile and common forms of cannabidiol available. It can be dropped under or on top of the tongue and mixed into your food or drinks. We advise taking 0.25 mg of CBD oil per pound of body weight as a regular dose.
Use the oil any time you like, though remember to leave roughly 30 minutes for the CBD to kick in. This can help people who want to slow their sex down, taking longer to appreciate the experience. Incorporate CBD into foreplay to calm your mind as you and your partner get in the mood.
This may eventually help your body associate CBD’s calming effects with intimacy. If you find that you’re still facing anxiety after a regular oil dose, use 0.50 mg per pound the next time. This is considered a strong dose, so we recommend starting with 0.25 mg if you’re new to using hemp.
CBD and sex go together like chocolate and strawberries (another great food for the bedroom), but you’ll want to use the highest quality cannabidiol for ideal results. Our hemp is grown in the United States and evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration to ensure it’s safe and has low THC levels. Our CBD oil is the best you can get.
Hollyweed knows that many people like CBD in their own personal way that might not apply to others. This is why we carry a range of products that all contain the same great CBD. No matter how you use edibles, oil, lotions, or flower, you can be confident that all-natural organic ingredients were used!
As more research is being done, people are realizing that CBD for sex can make an already pleasurable act even better. Hollyweed has various products that assist sexual anxiety and maximize blood flow. You may even find that CBD aids your sex life so much that you need help coming down afterward, and we have products for that, too!
