The study analyzed 28,176 women and 22,943 men nationwide who were surveyed by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) through a questionnaire. The CDC’s broad, all-encompassing survey is so comprehensive that it is often utilized by researchers as a basis for more specific analysis.
Women who didn’t use marijuana reported having sex six times on average during the past four weeks. Women who consumed marijuana daily had sex 7.1 times on average. Men who abstained said they had sex an average of 5.6 times in the four weeks before the survey, compared with the daily marijuana users who reported having sex 6.9 times, on average.
The link between weed and sexual desire shows the booming industry in cannabis edibles. Consumption of small quantities (of marijuana) prior to sex may increase libido in female patients, which in turn can release positive endorphins and increase vaginal lubrication.
