According to a new study published in the journal Sexual Medicine, females may have better orgasms if they used marijuana.
The study found that women who used marijuana before sex were twice as likely to experience a “satisfactory” orgasm.
The study also discovered that nearly a third of women in the US have used cannabis before sex and those who do say they experienced increased desire and better orgasms.
Researchers surveyed 373 female patients at an obstetrics and gynecology practice in an academic medical centre in Saint Louis, Missouri as part of the study. Overall, 127 women, or 34 per cent, reported using marijuana before sexual activity.
“What’s new about this study is that marijuana is framed as being useful for sex,” said Joseph Palamar, a population health researcher at NYU Langone Medical Centre in New York. Palamar was not involved in the study.
“Typically, drugs are investigated as risk factors for sex. I think this paper signifies that times are changing,” he also said.
