The Karma Sutra shares a wide variety of ways to enhance intimacy and sharing marijuana is one of them.
Marijuana has been part intimacy for over 1,000 years. One of the key things about THC is is allows the mind to quiet and focus on the moment and sensations. When it comes a romantic interlude, it makes it all more interesting and adds in a dollop of fun. A couple who use cannabis together can increase intimacy and their enjoyment.
Historically in India, marijuana was used extensively in sensual tantric rituals, yoga, and the intricate sexual positions of the most famous erotic handbook in history, the Kama Sutra. It established the baseline for couples to enjoy them both!

A Stanford study found people who used cannabis were having sex more frequently. It examined 50,000 Americans between the ages of 25 and 45, found a strong correlation between marijuana use and an uptick in the amount of sex they were having. Other studies around sexuality indicate cannabis as a way of improving sexual quality. Medical implications of this study include the possible use of cannabis for treating sexual dysfunctions, especially within women. Of course, this is more of a light high than a full blow session.
One study, Marijuana Use Episodes and Partner Intimacy Experiences, gives a look at the benefits of use. The 30 day study looks at 183 couples. They were asked to rate their affection with their partner. It turned out that when couples used cannabis together they reported a higher rate of lovemaking, affection, and other signs of caring and support.
One way cannabis enhances intimacy is by reducing inhibitions and anxiety, leading to more open and honest communication between partners. While reducing the anxiety, it can also increase the playfulness….which is great if both are in the same mindset.

Another way is the use of marijuana lube. Products with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) not only lubricate the genital area but may increase sex drive, sensation, and sexual pleasure. They usually have other ingredients, such as coconut oil and tea tree oil.
