Researchers in the US have found cannabis before sex can improve sexual encounters, especially for women.
In a world of Viagra, weed before sex increased the chance women would have an orgasm. Good news for some.
Four hundred people took part in Saint Louis University’s study.
The Missouri researchers said in the Sexual Medicine journal that when people had marijuana before sex 68.5 per cent found their sexual experience more pleasurable, 60.6 per cent had an increased sex drive, and 52.8 per cent felt better satisfaction from orgasms.
Yup, it’s Netflix’n’chill.
Meanwhile, back in Oz…
