As cannabis (marijuana) becomes medicine for millions again, and increasing numbers of states re-legalize its recreational use, it’s natural to want to know how it affects every aspect of our lives. Even sex.
Data from 28,176 women and 22,943 men was gathered from the National Survey of Family Growth, including data from 2002, and from 2006-2015. This study showed an interesting trend.
The average age of both men and women was just under 30 years, and the findings applied to both sexes. Marijuana users had a higher frequency of monthly, weekly and daily sexual encounters than non-users.
They wrote: “Marijuana use is independently associated with increased sexual frequency and does not appear to impair sexual function.”
The Stanford Medicine News Center discusses the findings here.
