What are the Best Weed Strains for Sex

There’s quite a lot of skepticism surrounding the subject of using cannabis to enhance sex. To begin with, is marijuana an aphrodisiac? What is the best weed to smoke for sex — Indica or Sativa? More specifically, what are the best strains for sexual arousal?  

We’ll not only answer these questions here, but we’re also going to learn the many different varieties of marijuana strains that are best for sex, as well as the relationship between THC and sex

According to a study reported by Psychology Today, a number of women and men were kept under investigation while smoking cannabis to ascertain the impact of smoking cannabis on their sexuality. The same observations were carried out over another group that didn’t smoke marijuana at all.

Findings from this research showed that the group of men and women who smoked marijuana had more sex than their non-marijuana smoking counterparts during the period of observation.

In fact, the users explained that they had better libido and enhanced pleasure while at it. Generally, the women had a 34% increase, while a 22% increase was recorded for the men.

However, another review in 2015 established that chronic use of cannabis for sex might reduce sex drive. Currently, there’s no conclusive study detailing how cannabis improves libido in humans. Research though is still ongoing, but many users anecdotally suggest that using certain types of cannabis may improve sexual pleasure.

Best Weed Strains for Sex

You might’ve heard claims that certain strains of marijuana are best for female arousal or a particular type of cannabis increases your libido.

Well, according to scientific research to date, no cannabis strain is proven to increase your libido. Instead, users anecdotally suggest that certain strains are best used for certain kinds of situations.  

There’s minimal research investigating the personal effect of the different cannabis strains on sex. Still, most research currently suggests that dosing and administration can be manipulated to enhance sexual experience.

Choosing a Suitable Strain

Honestly, depending on the mood you’re aiming to achieve in the bedroom, you may find that a different strain works better for your partner than you. Also, if you’re interested in self-pleasure, you may want to explore another choice.

By and large, a high CBD strain will benefit you if you’re feeling anxious. If, instead, you’re looking for a spark of energy and creativity in the bedroom, you may want to go for a Sativa. Indicas will serve you better if you want to increase the sensory experience of your sex time.

At the same time, a hybrid of Indica and Sativa are perfect if you’re looking to tap both the energy and sensory enhancement.

Here’s a review of 6 of the best marijuana strains for sex.

#1 Wedding Cake

Wedding cake is also known as pink cookies. It is a hybrid of Sativa and Indica, but mostly Indica. It can help you relax your nerves and enhance your senses, while filling you with a rush of euphoria in the first hit. Wedding cake is made up of 23-25% THC and is intended for protracted sexual engagement — even the name says that much.

One to two hits of wedding cake should get you in the groove for a good time. Be careful not to smoke too much of it, as paranoia and weakness may set in, ruining the moment entirely.

#2 Green Crack

Green crack is a Sativa strain of marijuana that promises to fill you with enough euphoria and energy for a long time in the sheets. It comprises about 17% THC. Many users recommend this weed, which is why it features at the top of the list of highly effective strains.

#3 Girls Scout Cookies

Otherwise known as GSC — and also dubbed the best strain for female arousal. Girls Scout Cookies strain is a hybrid containing 19% of THC. It has a beautiful appeal accompanied by a herbal aroma. GSC can be a mix of purple flecked leaves and bright, appealing colors.

GSC is the ideal cannabis for people looking to enhance their sensory experience while getting inspiration for creativity.

#4 Do-si-dos

Do-si-dos is a hybrid strain with a high THC content of about 20%. It is an Indica dominant hybrid strain. The floral peppermint scent is sure to instantly send your senses into reels of euphoria and enhanced sensory pleasure.

Typically, because of its high THC content, taking about two to three hits will do the trick for you. It’s a highly effective strain that will give you a fulfilling sex experience.

#5 Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel is a Sativa strain with a THC content of 18.5%. It also has a small amount of CBD (about 2%) in it, and is one of the few strains of marijuana that has CBD in them. Remember that CBD is effective for relieving anxiety, hence sour diesel, according to most users, is suitable for dispelling anxiety from your bedroom.

But unlike Indica-dominant strains like Do-si-dos and GSC, it has a rather pungent chemical aroma. However, it packs a punch when it comes to its effectiveness.

#6 Amnesia Haze

Amnesia Haze is a hybrid strain that packs 19% THC. It is known for producing high feelings of euphoria accompanied by an energy boost that creates the perfect level of confidence you need to be at your best in the bedroom.  

The Amnesia Haze strain will undoubtedly inspire a user to cross the boundary between regular and weird. It tends to fill your head with ideas of better ways to enjoy your partner’s presence. One or two hits is just enough. Otherwise, you may slip into the uncharted territory of euphoria, inevitably ruining the experience for yourself and your partner.

General Tips and Tricks For Using Weed Strains for Sex

1. It’s best to try out solo sex with your preferred strain of marijuana before foraying into the world of cannabis together with your partner. This helps you find out what works and what doesn’t, as well as your threshold as far as cannabis goes in sex.
2. If you’re new to the concept of cannabis and sex, you’re better off starting with low dosing and going slow as you increase your intake. Also, discuss with your partner to know their expectations and avoid surprises.
3. Negotiate with your partner before you start dosing and consuming. Not communicating this can seriously impair your sexual relationship. You need to let your partner know your preference and also learn theirs before getting down. It is also an excellent time to define boundaries and decide how high you want to get during sex.

Does Weed Make You Horny?

You’ve heard of oysters being aphrodisiacs, but can weed arouse your sexual excitement, too?! Although its science is limited, many people have experienced a positive change in the bedroom after toking up. 

Many people search online for “does smoking weed make you horny?” and “how does weed make you horny?” While many cannabis users may say yes based on personal experience, the jury’s still out. Unfortunately, no solid scientific evidence shows a strong link between cannabis and sexual arousal in both women and men.

However, cannabis has been used for thousands of years to enhance sex. There must be some truth in this. In some ancient ceremonial rituals, people would use different herbs and drugs and end their practice with sex.

Today, many smoke weed to stimulate arousal, relieve anxiety, reduce pain and inflammation, and treat other conditions that may hinder a person’s libido. You can now find cannabis products designed for use in the bedroom.

Why Does Weed Make You Horny?

Scientific research into libido and cannabis is limited, and most data comes from questionnaires of cannabis users, not a representative sample of the general population. These surveys do not provide guidance on dosage or delivery methods.

• A June 2019 survey found that 34% of women (373 participants) reported using cannabis before sexual activity, and most say it increased their sex drive and orgasm while decreasing pain.
• A September 2020 study found that 27% of women (232 participants) used cannabis to manage menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and night sweats.
• A November 2019 online survey of over 200 men and women found that almost 60% said cannabis increased their sex drive, and 74% said that weed increased sexual satisfaction. However, 16% reported that sex was worse in certain aspects, and 5% said sex on weed made it worse.

Based on anecdotal evidence, cannabis use clearly has a positive effect on a person’s sexual desire. So, why does weed make you hornier?

Cannabis has several health benefits, including relief for pain, insomnia, anxiety, PTSD, night sweats, hot flashes, and much more. Cannabis may cause less pain during sex, lower your inhibitions, enhance arousal, and improve emotional intimacy.

Vasodilation

Cannabis has been shown to be a vasodilator, meaning it can relax and widen blood vessel walls, increasing blood flow down under. Vasodilation can open up the blood flow to all body organs, making you feel more aroused.

Sensory Enhancement

Cannabis use can enhance your senses, making colors brighter, tastes more flavorful, and aromas more irresistible. In a safe and calm environment, weed can relax your body and mind and give you a boost in naturally blissful feelings.

Music can sound better when using cannabis, and touch can be more electrifying, creating a more exciting sexual experience. 

Pain Relief from Weed

Nearly 3 out of 4 women experience pain during sex, which can be caused by gynecological problems or trouble becoming sexually stimulated. Vaginal and rectal suppositories or lubricants can provide pain relief from vaginal dryness and reproductive issues and increase sexual pleasure.

Does Weed Make You Less Horny?

Weed can be a double-edged sword. In some cases, it may be able to enhance your sexual function and experience. In other cases, it can reduce your libido and hinder your sexual experience.

Overconsuming cannabis can cause paranoia, anxiety, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and other mild side effects, which can be a major turn-off. Starting with a small dose and gradually building up to your desired effects is the best way to avoid a bad experience.

How to Use Weed During Sex

What's the best way to use cannabis for sex? There are many ways you can achieve a better sexual experience. Smoking a bowl or joint is a classic way to consume weed.

Edibles provide a longer-lasting high but take an hour or an hour and a half to kick in and can be easier to over-consume. We recommend starting with 2.5 or 5 milligrams of THC or CBD.

Smoking and vaping provide quick-acting effects within minutes if you're looking for some spontaneous fun. A few puffs will do it. If you don't want to experience any intoxicating effects, you can use topicals designed for intimacy. These include lubricants and suppositories generally designed for vaginal or rectal application.

Best Cannabis Strains for Sex

Using cannabis to improve your libido isn’t an exact science. There are many variables to consider, including strain, dosage, timing, delivery method, tolerance, and more. In general, these cannabis plant strains may be just what you need to feel more in the zone:

• Wedding Cake
• Green Crack
• Girl Scout Cookies
• Do-Si-Dos
• Sour Diesel
• Amnesia Haze

Do Edibles Make You Last Longer in Bed?

Based on the individual, dosage, frequency of use, and particular strain or product taken, the effects of cannabis edibles on sexual performance and stamina might vary greatly. Cannabis edibles and sex performance can be affected by a number of elements and observations, such as:

Relaxation and Anxiety Reduction

For some people, the sedative properties of cannabis, when ingested as an edible, may lessen inhibitions or performance anxiety. They could be able to be more present during intimacy as a result, which might result in lengthier sexual activity.

Enhancement of the Senses

When using cannabis, some people claim to have enhanced sensory perceptions. The intensity of tactile sensations may increase as a result, potentially improving the entire intimate experience.

Cannabis occasionally affects people's perception of time in a delayed manner. This could mislead someone into thinking they are lasting longer than they actually are.

In conclusion, cannabis may have neutral or adverse effects for some persons, while it may boost sexual pleasure for others under specific circumstances.
