86.1% of Women Report Greater Orgasm Satisfaction After Cannabis Use

Cannabis has long been known for its relaxing and therapeutic properties, but recent studies show it may also significantly enhance orgasm satisfaction in women. According to research published in the journal “Sexual Medicine,” using cannabis before sex can help women experiencing difficulties in achieving orgasm.

Orgasm Dysfunction in Women

Orgasm dysfunction affects up to 41% of women worldwide. It is characterized by difficulties in achieving orgasm despite adequate stimulation and arousal, leading to significant stress and negatively impacting quality of life and intimate relationships. This common problem often remains unresolved due to a lack of effective treatment methods.

Results of Recent Studies

A study conducted by Suzanne Mulvehill and Jordan Tishler involved 387 women who used cannabis before sex. The results were promising:

  • Frequency of Orgasm increased by 39.8% with cannabis use. As many as 88.8% of respondents reported more frequent orgasm, compared to 63.3% without its use.
  • Ease of Achieving Orgasm improved by 35.4%, with only 7.4% of women still having difficulty achieving orgasm with cannabis.
  • Satisfaction with Orgasm nearly doubled, with 86.1% of women reporting greater satisfaction when using cannabis.

Mechanisms of Cannabis Action On Orgasm Satisfaction

Cannabis may influence orgasm function in several ways. The neuroplasticity theory suggests that cannabis may help in learning to achieve orgasm through changes in the brain. Meanwhile, the dehabitualization theory indicates that cannabis may reduce routine habits and cognitive disruptions that can cause orgasm difficulties.

Impact on Mental Health

Studies have also shown that women with anxiety issues and those who have experienced sexual abuse may particularly benefit from using cannabis. Cannabis can help reduce PTSD and improve sexual quality of life by decreasing activity in brain areas responsible for storing traumatic memories.

In a study conducted by the University of British Columbia, 75% of women reported that cannabis increased their sensitivity to erotic touch and improved sexual satisfaction. Similar results were found by researchers at St. Louis University, where 33% of women using cannabis before sex reported higher levels of sexual satisfaction compared to those who used it sporadically (Psychology Today) (Oxford Academic).

Practical Implications and Future Prospects

These findings could have significant implications for recognizing orgasm dysfunction as a condition qualifying for medical cannabis treatment. States such as Ohio, Illinois, New Mexico, and Connecticut are already considering adding FOD to the list of qualifying conditions.

Suzanne Mulvehill, the study’s author, emphasizes that recognizing orgasm dysfunction as a condition qualifying for cannabis treatment could significantly improve the quality of life for many women. “My long-term goal is to recognize orgasm dysfunction as a condition qualifying for medical cannabis treatment in the United States and worldwide,” said Mulvehill.

Despite promising results, further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms of cannabis action and its long-term impact on sexual function. Researchers plan to conduct randomized controlled trials to confirm these preliminary findings and help develop treatment standards.

Cannabis has the potential to become an important therapeutic agent for women with orgasm difficulties. Further clinical and legislative research is essential to fully understand its effects and therapeutic possibilities. If formal recognition of orgasmic dysfunction as a condition qualifying for cannabis treatment is achieved, many women could benefit from improved sexual quality of life and overall well-being.
