cannabis use is frequently associated with feelings of euphoria that may enhance mood, increase sexual desire, and boost arousal — leading to a better sexual experience. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research on the effects of cannabis on sexual function. Some studies suggest that erectile-dysfunction is higher in cannabis users compared to nonusers.[1] There is also contradictory evidence that cannabis may enhance erectile function or diminish erectile function,[2] and that cannabis may be associated with increased reports of an inability to reach orgasm, reach orgasm too quickly, or reach orgasm too slowly.[3]
