Weed Makes Women Want Sex and Increases Orgasm, Saint Louis University Study Finds

In annals of sex history, the use of drugs is hardly a novel concept — as a recently published study on sex and weed from Saint Louis University notes, the internet is "rife with claims of the beneficial effects of marijuana on several aspects of sexual function including libido, arousal, and orgasm."

For once, the internet appears to be right about something. The SLU study, published online earlier this month by the journal Sexual Medicine, surveyed 373 patients at a single OB/GYN between March 2016 and February 2017. Not only did more than a third report using weed before sexual activity (these were likely college students, after all) — but those women were also more than twice as likely to report having better sex than those who had not gotten high before bangin'.

As the scientific paper puts it: "[W]omen who reported marijuana use before sexual activity had 2.13 higher odds of reporting satisfactory orgasm."

And it's not just orgasms. The paper also notes, "Most women reported increases in sex drive, improvement in orgasm, decrease in pain, but no change in lubrication."
