3 Ways CBD Can Improve Your Sex Life.
It’s in your snacks, drinks, skincare, and now (with our help) even in your personal lubricant. CBD is everywhere and for very good reason. Let us explain.
What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol and it’s an active ingredient in cannabis (AKA the marijuana plant). But no, it doesn’t get you high, as CBD doesn’t have the psychoactive properties of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). During sex, our bodies undergo a series of changes–heightened heart rate, increased blood flow, muscle-tension and the release of pleasure-inducing hormones by the brain. At the core of these reactions is the nervous system, housing the endocannabinoid system–a complex network of neurotransmitters and receptors. By adding CBD into your sex life, cannabinoids can interact with this system to elevate libido, promote body relaxation, and enhance the overall experience.
Why Can CBD Mean Better Sex?
1. CBD Helps Increase Pleasure
To increase sexual pleasure, increasing blood flow is key, and CBD helps with just that. Those cannabinoid receptors in your reproductive organs and sexual tissue are stimulated by CBD, increasing blood flow and sensitivity, resulting in more natural lubrication. Wetter, less painful sex is exactly what we set out to achieve with our collection.
2. CBD Promotes Relaxation
If there’s one thing that CBD is most known for, it’s inspiring more chill. Sometimes sex and intimacy can feel stressful or cause anxiety. CBD is thought to help promote your relaxation mode, releasing tension in your muscles and putting you at ease… all over. So you can really focus on your pleasure, not your worries.
3. CBD Sets the Mood
Good sex is all about the vibe. CBD is believed to provide a little mood boost by enhancing natural neurotransmitters and endorphins. Feeling better overall means a better sexual experience. And paired with relaxation benefits and increased pleasure, it’s the ultimate way to enhance your most intimate encounters.
