Is It True That Taking Marijuana, in any of it's forms, Causes A Higher Sex Drive While Having The Effects of Marijuana/Cannabis?

Question

Marijuana affects libido in different ways 
 It's still unclear exactly how marijuana might boost sex drive, but theories abound. 
 "People who use marijuana may have more sex because they put less pressure on themselves when they are high, so they don't have the same performance anxiety as those who are sober," suggested sex therapist Amanda Pasciucco, who practices in Connecticut, where medical use is legal. "A small amount of marijuana may also help increase your ability to communicate your preferences to your partner.".. Sex therapist Lawrence Siegel noted that in particular, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol -- the cannabinoid THC -- appears to target a part of our brain associated with sexual arousal, at least in females. 
 
 "Our body's natural endocannabinoid system is key in regulating things like pleasure, pain, relaxation, and homeostasis. When it is activated by the cannabinoids in cannabis, it can leave users feeling relaxed with increased pleasure and decreased pain," explained Peter Barsoom, founder of a company called 1906, which aims to bring cannabis back to the mainstream. "This can lead to increased arousal and make sex even more enjoyable. For others, the reason is the increased pleasurable sensations that can arise with cannabis. This effect can make sex feel even more enjoyable." 
 
 Though some people experience increased anxiety when using marijuana, others find that it has the opposite effect. "Every person has a unique makeup both psychologically and physically, and for cannabis to help improve sexuality, you must find the type that works for you," explained sexologist Nick Karras, author of "The Passionate High: A Guide to Using Cannabis For Better Sex and Creativity." "I recommend experimenting with a small number of indica strains, Sativa strains, and a hybrid of both to see what works best."

I'm not into weed anymore but I used it all throughout my senior year of highschool.
My experience with it is it just enhances any mood your currently feeling. If something tastes good it will taste really good, if you're happy you will be really happy. However, it also works with sadness, if you're depressed you're going to be super depressed.

I didn't vote because the answer isn't in the options provided. It depends on the strain. Cannabis comes in sativa, indica, and non-psychoactive CBD. Some of them increase sex drive, some do not.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

I find I get hornier with weed, but I have to choose the strain and dose.

If I go overboard then I just get all relaxed and more interested in lazing than sex.

But it does increase my sex drive, and I find my senses more sensitive when I'm high.

As long as it's not excessive, I suppose it enhances the sexual experience.

Astarlessnightsky · Answer

It depends on the individual as well as the strand, wether its indica or sativa, but in general, any drug and sex don't mix well.

FictionalCharacter · Answer

Depends on the strain.  But in all honesty, it always makes me feel too relaxed to get horny. But, it has helped me start my missed periods and urinary tract infection.

It's funny... I've always assumed it would slow you down and make you want to do activities with less movement... But maybe it's true 🤔

I had my card for about one year, I never noticed any difference. Maybe sometimes when I took too much I was in no mood, but I normally use it makes no difference

gibgabbs · Answer

I was actually going to ask this question but haven't gotten around to it yet. Whenever I smoke weed, my fantasies get far more vivid. That's probably due to how the THC boosts serotonin so increased levels of arousal pleasure

Likes2drive · Answer

I never use it so I don’t know but some types of weed do enhance it, none of them are the same, there are so many different types, I know of people that visited those legal pot shops and they have so many types that do different things

It might heighten your sex drive but it also makes you forget how to sex.  "I forgot, man."  It also makes you not care about sex. "I don't care, man."
