Cannabis, when used mindfully, can support individuals on their self-pleasure journey. By incorporating the cannabis plant into your solo sessions, you may experience heightened sensations, increased relaxation, and an improved connection with your body.

Think of it as turning the volume knob on your favourite song – everything feels more intense, more vivid, more there.

Recent studies have shown that cannabis may improve sexual satisfaction and increase arousal. In a 2019 study published in the journal Sexual Medicine, researchers found that cannabis use was associated with increased sexual frequency and improved orgasm quality in women.

Another study published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviour in 2017 found that cannabis users reported higher sexual satisfaction and more intense orgasms compared to non-users.

These studies suggest that cannabis may help individuals connect with their bodies, enhance sensations, and promote relaxation during masturbation. By engaging with cannabis in a mindful and intentional way, you can experience a more fulfilling and enjoyable solo session.

Cannabis may enhance your masturbation experience in several ways:

• Relaxation: The cannabinoids THC and CBD are known to promote relaxation. This can help you let go of any guilt or discomfort associated with masturbation and focus on enjoying the experience.
• Sensation: Cannabis may increase sensitivity to touch and amplify physical sensations, making your body more responsive to pleasure.
• Arousal: Some cannabis strains are known to have aphrodisiac properties, increasing sexual desire and arousal.
• Pain relief: Certain terpenes, like beta-caryophyllene, can help reduce pain, making masturbation more comfortable for those who experience discomfort during sex.

For many women, the cultural taboo surrounding masturbation can lead to feelings of shame and guilt. Societal expectations and traditional gender roles often discourage women from openly exploring their sexuality and embracing self-pleasure. However, cannabis may be a powerful tool to help women overcome these negative emotions and foster a healthy relationship with their bodies.

One of the primary ways cannabis may help women overcome the shame of masturbation is by promoting relaxation. The cannabinoids THC and CBD have shown promise in having anxiolytic properties, helping users feel more at ease and comfortable with themselves. By creating a relaxed state of mind, women may find it easier to let go of any shame or guilt they may feel about masturbation.

Cannabis may heighten mindfulness and increase self-awareness. When used intentionally, it can help women become more in tune with their bodies, allowing them to better understand and appreciate their own desires and needs. This deeper connection to oneself can lead to a greater appreciation of one’s sexuality and help women embrace masturbation as a natural and healthy part of self-exploration.

In addition, it may enhance empathy and promote open communication, which can be helpful for women struggling with feelings of shame related to masturbation. By fostering a non-judgmental and accepting environment, women may feel more comfortable discussing their feelings and experiences with others, ultimately leading to a more positive and healthy relationship with their own sexuality.

By incorporating cannabis into solo sessions, women can create positive associations with masturbation, helping to override any shame or guilt they may feel. Over time, these positive experiences can lead to a more accepting and celebratory attitude towards self-pleasure.

When used consciously,  it can be used as a tool for self-exploration can empower women to challenge societal expectations surrounding sexuality and masturbation. By embracing its possibilities, women can break free from the cultural constraints that have long kept them from fully enjoying their own bodies and desires.

To fully embrace the benefits of cannabis in your solo sessions, consider the following tips and tricks:

1. Choose the right strain: Opt for strains with terpenes that promote relaxation, arousal, and pain relief. For example, strains high in myrcene and linalool can induce relaxation, while those rich in limonene can elevate mood and increase sexual desire.
2. Experiment with dosing: Start with a low dose, especially if you’re new to cannabis, and gradually increase the amount to find your ideal level of intoxication for pleasure.
3. Use lubes: Weed lubes containing THC or CBD can enhance genital sensitivity and alleviate discomfort, leading to more intense orgasms. Some popular options include Foria Pleasure, Velvet Swing, and Quim Rock’s Intimate Oil.
4. Try other deliveries: If smoking or vaping isn’t your preference, consider trying cannabis-infused edibles or tinctures to help you relax and enjoy your solo session.
5. Set the mood: Create a comfortable and inviting atmosphere by dimming the lights, playing soothing music, and using scented candles or essential oil diffusers.

Remember to approach your journey with intention, and most importantly, have fun exploring the new dimensions of pleasure it can bring.
