If you’re having problems in the bedroom you may be surprised to hear that MARIJUANA is the answer!

Marijuana has the effect of either making people giggly or making them very sleepy. But can it help people in the bedroom, in particular men who may have lost their mojo? Up until now, it’s always thought that marijuana hinders bedroom performance but new studies are proving to be rather interesting.

Studies have been undertaken in the USA and the results have been published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. And while further research needs to be done, it seems that marijuana may actively help people towards a better sex life, and here’s why.

Marijuana releases inhibitions. It helps the body relax. And sometimes sex, although fabulous, can be stressful. Both parties may feel exhausted, worry about their bodies not being perfect or worry about their performance. Smoking marijuana helps people relax meaning they are not so stressed about perfection or performance. Their desire improves after a puff or two, showing that there may well be a good connection between smoking marijuana and having sex.

Clearly more surveys need to be done but so far it shows that women who use marijuana have more sex than women who don’t. Men interviewed also seem to have more sex after inhaling but bear in mind the survey was only done on heterosexual men. Also, while marijuana increases arousal - be careful - too much marijuana can also decrease the sperm count.

Should you be smoking marijuana if you’re having difficulty in the bedroom? We cannot say yes. There are as many negatives to marijuana as there are positives and you need to do your own research and see what works for you. And of course, check the legalities of where you live. You don’t want to be seen to be breaking the law.

A final reminder too - these studies are not yet conclusive and more research does need to be done before you all light up!
