Two of the most accessible and common recreational drugs in America, alcohol and cannabis, have earned their place in many hearts as a key to enhancing the overall experience of sex. Weed is an aphrodisiac, wine can improve libido , and beer can make dicks harder —we've heard it all, from the best researched to the flimsiest of claims. But which does the trick most effectively? I reached out to some professionals who study human behavior, sexuality, alcohol and cannabis to learn more about which substance heightens our pleasure the most during sex. Many theorize that weed makes sex better—that cannabis can increase sexual pleasure, and with multiple forms such as smokeables, edibles, and even weed-infused lubricant , it's never been easier to find the perfect way to get high.

I'm a big fan of having sex stoned. I mean, it's two sensations I love, put together. What's not to like? When I'm high, I tend to feel more in touch with what I actually want and what I'm feeling in the moment, which is why I've been able to use having sex stoned as a way to understand my own body, emotions, and sexuality from a different angle. When used in thoughtful moderation , smoking weed can sometimes be an aid for acting like your most honest and authentic self — something that is always a good idea when you're getting down, but which isn't always easy, especially for women. I started smoking weed at roughly the same time I started having sex, and saw the appeal of sometimes combining the two activities early on.

Marijuana is now decriminalized or legalized throughout many states in the U. The widespread talk of the multitude of health benefits that weed provides is neverending; which has modern-day hippies jumping for joy! The use of marijuana relieves mental and physical tension and acts as a great form of foreplay before getting nasty under the covers. This sensation will aid your body in being more susceptible to physical pleasure and sexual stimulation.

Stoners, good news: smoking weed can indeed enhance your sex life. At its worst, weed can make you paranoid, quiet, or weird, which no one enjoys while in the sack. That, right there.
