Which CBD is an aphrodisiac?

Cannabidiol (CBD) has been highly sought after over the past five years for its many health benefits. Several scientific studies in particular demonstrate the various actions of this cannabinoid in the body. CBD is thus said to possess properties that help increase sexual desire. So, which CBD is an aphrodisiac?

Does CBD have aphrodisiac effects?

CBD (cannabidiol) is an active compound derived from cannabis. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol has no psychoactive effect and does not cause addiction. This cannabinoid is often used to treat a variety of health problems, such as anxiety, pain, and inflammation. However, to date, there is not enough scientific evidence to assert that CBD has aphrodisiac effects.

Nevertheless, some CBD consumers report an increase in their libido or an improvement in their sexual function. But there have been no solid clinical studies to support this claim. Moreover, the exact effect of CBD on sexual desire and sexual functions would likely depend on individual factors. Among the important variables, one can cite dosage, method of administration, duration of use, and individual sensitivity.

In general, cannabis can have different effects on libido and sexuality. Some consumers may experience an increase in libido. Others, on the other hand, report a decrease in sexual desire.

Furthermore, cannabis consumption can negatively affect sperm quality in men. The product could therefore reduce male fertility.

In summary, CBD could potentially help treat certain sexual health problems. However, there is not enough evidence to assert that cannabidiol exerts aphrodisiac effects.

How does CBD help increase libido?

CBD does not have direct effects on libido. However, the cannabinoid can act indirectly, by helping to combat the factors behind decreased sexual desire. Scientists have notably demonstrated that the cannabidiol molecule acts on the receptors of the endocannabinoid system (ECS). These elements are distributed throughout the human body. The system regulates physiological functions such as mood, emotions, and pain sensation. Thus, through its effects on the ECS, cannabidiol could:

• reduce stress and anxiety: stress, worry, and anxiety are among the main causes of decreased libido. CBD has relaxing effects. The natural product derived from cannabis plants can therefore help restore increased sexual desire;
• increase arousal: sexual desire is expressed through maximum arousal. Cannabidiol would help promote sexual arousal;
• relieve pain: some women suffer from vaginal pain, significantly reducing their sexual desire. Cannabidiol helps inhibit the perception of pain. Thus, people affected by these constraints can choose to consume CBD before sexual intercourse. This allows them not to feel pain during penetration and thus to rediscover pleasure;
• increase physical tone: specific studies prove that the cannabidiol molecule helps provide more energy. The natural substance derived from hemp would notably combat fatigue. Decreased tone and drive constitute a real obstacle to sexual activity within a couple. By providing more energy, CBD thus helps promote sex life and intimate relationships.

Research on CBD is continuing to deepen the results of experiments already conducted. Specific observations and trials also aim to reveal other effects of the product. Who knows, by carrying out in-depth studies, specialists might uncover aphrodisiac potential in CBD!

Which form of CBD should you choose to increase libido?

CBD products intended for sublingual consumption or ingestion are the most suitable for treating sexual disorders. The following CBD products are notably the most recommended:

CBD oil to increase libido

CBD oils for libido are taken sublingually. This method of administration offers rapid effects. Indeed, thanks to this method of use, the cannabidiol molecule is absorbed into the body through the oral mucous membranes. This process takes only 20 to 60 seconds. The consumer then feels the effects of CBD 1 to 2 minutes after taking it.

You can therefore take CBD oil just before sexual intercourse to fully enjoy its benefits, especially for libido.

It is also possible to take CBD oil orally, by ingestion. To do so, you need to pour the product's drops into your everyday foods or drinks. Be careful, however, not to heat or cook the product. A temperature that is too high alters the qualities of cannabidiol. Instead, add the CBD oil to your food just before eating.

Taken by ingestion, CBD takes 1 to 2 hours to exert its effects in the body. Therefore, consider this delay to ensure you benefit from the sexual virtues of the cannabinoid at the most opportune moment. 

CBD infusions to regain increased sexual desire

You can also have a CBD herbal tea or CBD tea to relax after a heavy workday. This way, you can regain increased libido.

You must dilute the leaves, flowers, fruits, or any other dried CBD extract in boiling water. Note, moreover, that cannabidiol is a fat-soluble product. You must therefore add a fatty substance to the water to completely absorb the cannabidiol molecule into your hot drink.

To optimize the effects of your CBD infusion on libido, you can add aphrodisiac ingredients to your brew. Ginger, nutmeg flower, or peppermint notably increase sexual desire while bringing a pleasant flavor to the infusion. Furthermore, prioritize organic, high-quality products.

Caution, if you are taking medication to treat sexual problems or any other underlying condition, seek your doctor's advice before consuming or using CBD.
