CBD and Sex

CBD for increased desire for sex

Desire for sex is a sign of a healthy body. But when we are stressed or ill, the desire for sexual intercourse also 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 really enjoy sex. But what should we do if stress or a cold is not the cause of the lack of desire for sex, because we suffer from a sexual disorder?

CBD against sexual disorders

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

• Sexual disorders due to physical illnesses
• Erection disorders (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 diseases, hormonal disorders, 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 fears, relationship problems, sleep disorders, as well as feelings of guilt are increasingly involved in the occurrence of a sexual disorder.

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

CBD certainly has the potential to positively affect both physical and psychological causes of sexual disorders. Exactly how is described in the following section.

CBD against PMS 

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

CBD against vaginal muscle spasm

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 trigger seems to have both a physical and psychological component and is the subject of intensive research. CBD has antispasmodic and anxiolytic effects and can thus help treat vaginismus in two ways. Vaginismus treatment usually requires the use of so-called dilators to stretch the vagina and slowly get used to insertion. The Combination of CBD and hyaluronic acid in CANNEFF CBD Suppositories also contributes to ensuring that the vagina has sufficient fluidity and moisture to facilitate insertion.

One reason for problems during sex is sometimes a too dry vagina. The cause is diverse and is detailed in the Blog post Vaginal Dryness explained. In summary, vaginal dryness, especially if untreated, is a joy killer during intercourse, because penetration without sufficient lubrication is painful and can injure the mucous membrane. The resulting pain and inflammation are often causes of infections but also 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 sexual intercourse and thus function as a CBD lubricant. As with all fat-containing products, use together with latex condoms should be avoided, as fat/oil attacks the rubber and can cause the condom to break.

CBD for pain relief 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 odor of the vagina, 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 against 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, 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 anxieties, 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.
