While there are no published studies directly investigating CBD’s link to sex, some research suggests that CBD could provide indirect benefits in bed.*
For example, some animal studies3 link CBD to lower pain levels.* Interestingly, in a 2021 survey of 1,382 women with chronic pelvic pain and fibromyalgia, 80.9% of respondents who used CBD said they experienced pain relief4. With that in mind, it’s not a huge stretch to assume that CBD could potentially support pelvic comfort. This could, in turn, promote more enjoyable sex.*
Evidence also links CBD to improved stress levels5—and when you feel more relaxed in bed, you can get “out of your own head” and enjoy the moment.*
Anecdotally, some people report greater sexual responsiveness from using CBD.* “[Some people] have found that CBD offers enhanced sexual pleasure, especially with full-spectrum products,” Dennis Mistrioty, CEO of BATCH CBD, previously told mbg.* But again, no research currently exists on CBD’s relationship to arousal.
