Amidst the deep connection between two bodies, there is something that often escapes words: desire. And it was precisely this subjective, sensory, and emotional territory that a study from Queen’s University in Canada decided to investigate, finding in cannabis a possible bridge between pleasure and well-being.

Developed by doctoral candidate Kayla M. Mooney, the study gathered over 1,500 people and closely monitored the daily lives of 115 participants for 28 days, with 87 of them being frequent cannabis users. 

The result? 

On days when cannabis use was followed by sexual activity, reports of arousal and desire were significantly more intense. Furthermore, discomfort, whether physical or emotional, related to sexual activity also seemed to be lower on those days.

Less tension, more connection

In times when fatigue, anxiety, and disconnection are almost silent epidemics, finding something that soothes the mind and rekindles the body has been a shared desire for many. The study precisely points to this path: cannabis, when used with intention and awareness, seems to enhance not only physical pleasure but also the emotional bond between partners.

Approximately 50% of the respondents stated they turn to the plant with clear sexual motivations, whether to increase pleasure, intensify arousal, or feel more emotionally connected. This data aligns with the Incentive Motivation Model (IMM) used by the researcher, which suggests that repeated stimuli associated with reward (such as sexual pleasure) significantly shape human behavior.

The Science of Pleasure Requires Caution

Although the study does not ignore possible side effects of THC in high doses, such as drowsiness, tachycardia, or decreased lubrication, it reinforces that light to moderate use appears to be positively associated with sexual function, especially among women. 

Something that also resonates in other recent research, indicating that the therapeutic potential of cannabis goes far beyond treating chronic pain or epilepsy: it can also extend into the fields of sexuality, self-esteem, and affection.

Cannabis Spray: Intense Orgasms and Renewed Libido

And if the touch of cannabis could come in the form of a spray? In a recent video by columnist Mariliz Pereira Jorge, she comments on a cannabis-based product specifically aimed at female pleasure: Foria Pleasure. Created with cannabis extracts and essential oils, the spray promises to increase lubrication, facilitate orgasm, and reignite libido, especially in older women.

Tested on women aged 21 to 70, the product is part of a new generation of cannabis intimate cosmetics that treat pleasure as a right, not a taboo. “You have to apply it where the magic happens,” Mariliz jokes in the video before adding, “It's like a little button that lights up...”.

In the end, perhaps the main message of the Canadian study is this: pleasure, like love, can flourish when one is present in body, mind, and feeling. And for some, cannabis has been an ally on this journey.
