CBD vs THC: Effects on libido
The effects of THC can have unfortunate consequences on intimate moments, yet several studies suggest that CBD may have aphrodisiac benefits...
CBD’s relaxing properties help you shed all the stress and anxiety of everyday life, allowing you to enjoy time with your partner. But that’s not all: CBD is also said to have aphrodisiac properties, leading to longer-lasting intercourse, improved vasodilation and better lubrication.

CBD for stress
When faced with a stressful situation, the body releases a hormone: cortisol. This hormone, also known as the ‘fear hormone’, is useful for survival, as it is responsible for the stress response. It mobilises the brain’s full concentration and the body’s resources to focus on a problem and its resolution.
Unfortunately, like many other hormones, if the body produces too much of it, it can be dangerous. In the case of cortisol, an excess of this hormone can lead to stress attacks or burnout in the workplace, for example.
CBD has stress-relieving properties thanks to its effect on the human body’s endocannabinoid system. CBD helps regulate the production and transmission of these hormones in the brain. In the case of stress, CBD therefore helps to limit cortisol levels and thus reduce anxiety attacks.
The aphrodisiac effects of CBD
In an article published in the journal BioMed Research International, CBD users appear to have longer-lasting intimate encounters. Furthermore, women reportedly reach orgasm more quickly.
A theory that has not yet been verified suggests that CBD may have a positive impact on female fertility. The endocannabinoid system does indeed have receptors in the female reproductive system.
As is often the case, if cannabis were recognised for its therapeutic qualities, it could compete with many other natural substances already used in medicine.
In addition to these aphrodisiac effects, an article published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that women who consumed CBD before intercourse reported an improvement in their libido, an improvement in their orgasms, a reduction in pain and an improvement in their sexual experience.
Which form of CBD should you use?
To get the most out of CBD’s effects, we recommend taking it as an oil or via a vaporiser.
If you take it as an oil, the effects last longer but are generally slightly less intense than if you choose to take your CBD via a vaporiser.
As always, we recommend vaping your CBD rather than smoking it, as burning CBD in a traditional joint releases molecules that are harmful to health. Furthermore, the effects last for a shorter time and are less potent than when using a vaporiser, as some of the CBD molecules are destroyed by combustion.
In any case, we recommend testing the effects of CBD before using it on such occasions to see if the effects and the dosage you have chosen suit you.
If you’re looking for a lovely Valentine’s Day gift, we naturally recommend our gift sets which are suitable for both beginners and regular users.
