CBD and Sex

CBD for increased sexual desire

Desire for sex is a sign of a healthy body. But when we are stressed or ill, our desire for sexual intercourse decreases. Quite normal, yes. But it is not always easy to deal with, especially when our daily life means constant stress. Fortunately, CBD has some properties that can help us relax, improve blood circulation, reduce anxiety, and thus help get our blood flowing and truly enjoy sex. But what should we do if stress or a cold is not the cause of a lack of sexual desire because we suffer from a sexual disorder?

CBD for sexual disorders

CBD can definitely be helpful for sexual disorders. But first, it is important to understand what types of sexual disorders exist and how we can distinguish them. Both women and men suffer from sexual disorders, but women are more frequently affected. Generally, the following sexual disorders are distinguished:

• Sexual disorders caused by physical illnesses
• Erectile dysfunction (physical and psychological)
• Arousal disorders
• Appetence disorders (increased or decreased desire for sex, loss of libido)
• Orgasm disorders
• Genital pain disorders (e.g., vaginismus in women)
• Substance-induced sexual disorders

What are the triggers for sexual disorders?

Often there are plausible physical reasons for the occurrence of sexual disorders. These physical causes are due to diseases such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, hormonal imbalances, circulatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, or infections in the genital area and their effects.

Especially nowadays, psychological causes such as depression, stress, worries and anxieties, relationship problems, sleep disorders, and feelings of guilt are increasingly involved in the occurrence of sexual disorders.

In addition, the intake of certain medications can also cause sexual disorders as a side effect.

CBD definitely has the potential to positively affect both physical and psychological causes of sexual disorders. The following section describes exactly how.

CBD for PMS 

The PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome) describes the repeated occurrence of certain physical and psychological symptoms before menstruation in women. The period is regulated by hormones that control the cycle. Fluctuations in certain hormones, mainly progesterone, are likely the main reason for mood changes, irritability, anxiety, and discomfort. CBD has an anxiolytic and calming effect and can probably also influence the impact of hormonal fluctuations., partially compensate. Additionally, can CANNEFF VAG SUP Symptoms of PMS, such as vaginal discomfort, relieve and effectively treat pain and inflammation.

CBD for Vaginismus

Vaginismus describes the phenomenon of involuntary muscle contractions of the pelvic floor muscles during or before intercourse or the insertion of objects into the vagina. The cause seems to have both physical and psychological components and is the subject of intensive research. CBD has antispasmodic and anxiolytic effects and can therefore help treat vaginismus in two ways. Treatment of vaginismus usually requires the use of so-called dilators to stretch the vagina and gradually get used to insertion. The Combination of CBD and hyaluronic acid in CANNEFF CBD Suppositories also helps ensure that the vagina has enough fluidity and moisture to facilitate insertion.

One reason for problems during sex is sometimes a too dry vagina. The cause is diverse and is explained in detail in the Blog post Vaginal Dryness explained. In summary, vaginal dryness, especially if untreated, is a joy killer during intercourse, as penetration without sufficient lubrication is painful and can injure the mucous membrane. The resulting pain and inflammation often cause infections as well as psychological effects such as fear of sex. CANNEFF VAG SUP CBD Suppositories for the treatment of vaginal dryness offer quick relief from pain and discomfort caused by injuries and inflammations in the vagina and provide sufficient lubrication. The CBD suppositories with hyaluronic acid can also be used before and during intercourse, thus acting as a CBD lubricant. As with all fat-containing products, it is important not to use them together with latex condoms, as fat/oil can damage the rubber and cause the condom to break.

CBD for pain during sex

Pain during sexual intercourse is probably one of the most common reasons for not enjoying lovemaking and ending it prematurely. The causes are diverse and should be clarified by a doctor to rule out diseases and infections. Especially in connection with increased discharge and unpleasant vaginal odor, a gynecologist should be consulted promptly. If the pain is due to injuries in the vagina or, in men, in the anus and anal region, both CANNEFF VAG SUP vaginal suppositories with CBD as well as CANNEFF SUP rectal suppositories with CBD can be used to treat pain, injuries, tears, wounds, and lesions in the mucous membrane of the vagina or anus. For complaints such as vaginal tears, perineal tears, vaginal prolapse, Anal fistula, Hemorrhoids or anal prolapse and other serious conditions, medical help is always necessary to avoid long-term consequences.

CBD for fear of sex

Fear of sexual intercourse or fear of sex can have many causes. After experiencing violence, abuse, or other negative experiences within or outside relationships, trauma often remains that triggers fear of sexual intercourse. Negative experiences during sex, such as the onset of menstruation, increased discharge, unpleasant odor, razor burn, pimples, or similar issues, can also trigger increased feelings of shame, which in turn can cause fear of sex. Stigmatization of homosexuality or overweight are other factors that can cause anxiety in sexual life. For mild anxiety, the use of natural products for relaxation and open communication can help. Here too, CANNEFF suppositories with CBD are used because CBD has anxiolytic, relaxing, and antispasmodic effects. However, anyone suffering from severe anxiety should always consult experts and, if necessary, undergo psychotherapy.
