People Who Smoke Marijuana Often Have 20 Percent More Sex, Claims A 13-Year-Long Research
A study conducted by researchers from the Stanford University School of Medicine has revealed that people who smoke Marijuana have approximately 20 percent more sex than those who don¡¯t.
Researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine have revealed that people who smoke marijuana have approximately 20 percent more sex than those who don¡¯t.
This positive correlation between smoking marijuana and frequency of coitus was reported in The Journal of Sexual Medicine. The study was conducted by researchers Andrew Sun and Michael L. Eisenberg.
The study involved over 50,000 Americans between the age group of 25 and 45. This survey was conducted in four-year cycles from the year 2002 to 2015. This study included information about their family structures, sexual practices, drug habits, relationship status and whether they have any kids.
The study suggests that if an average couple has sex about once a week, the consumption of marijuana could add up to 20 more occurrences every year, which is a considerable bump up.
This is the first study which talks about the correlation between sexual frequency and marijuana consumption and study doesn¡¯t really say that if you smoke more pot, you¡¯ll have more sex. However, it surprisingly overstates the premise that marijuana tends to curb sexual desires. And it also doesn¡¯t dictate the fact that if you don¡¯t smoke up, your sex life is less happening.
There have been other studies to which suggest that heavy consumption of marijuana results various physiological changes in the body like erectile dysfunction and diminishing sperm count. However, another research also suggests that marijuana stimulates activity in the regions of the brain that are responsible for sexual arousal.
However, there are a few areas of caution in this research. Primarily, this research was done keeping heterosexual couples into perspective. Now even if it is possible that homosexual couples could have similar results, the research doesn¡¯t exactly reveal that. Also, the data provided by the test subjects is self-reported, so the reliability of the information is questionable, as users could fake the consumption numbers and frequency of coitus.
29 states in the US and the District of Columbia have legalized the consumption of marijuana for medical and leisure reasons.
