Cannabis in the Bedroom: Can Weed Improve Your Sex Life?

Eaze TeamMar 10, 2025

Let’s toke about how you can get longer, faster, better and more frequent sex.

The relationship between cannabis and sexual health has been a subject of increasing interest in recent years, with numerous studies exploring how cannabinoids like THC and CBD influence sexual function and satisfaction. For instance, a study published in Sexual Medicine in June 2019 reported that women who used cannabis prior to sex experienced a nearly 40% increase in orgasm frequency, with 88.8% reporting more frequent orgasms compared to 63.3% without cannabis.

Building upon this body of research, a recent collaboration between Eaze and Lioness—known for their smart vibrators equipped with climax-tracking sensors—has provided further insights into how cannabis affects sexual experiences.

Here’s the big takeaway from our research: While a satisfying sex life is the result of many variables, cannabis use was associated with increased orgasm frequency, intensity, and overall sexual satisfaction for many participants. We found that cannabis enhanced orgasms for individuals across various demographics, including singles and couples, young adults and older individuals.

The rundown: How we did this research.

Report data was collected via an online survey and journaling. MarketView Research conducted the survey, which was completed by 432 Lioness newsletter subscribers across North America between June 23 and July 1. Participants represented a diverse range of genders, including non-gender-conforming individuals.

In addition to the survey, a group of 19 Lioness users volunteered to try different products with their devices and record their experiences in a journal. After each session, participants provided detailed insights into the effects of different THC and CBD products. Six products were tested across product categories:

  1. Vaporizers: DomPen Pineapple Coast vs Hempbase Tropic Thunder
  2. Edibles: Plus Sour Blueberry Gummies vs Vital Leaf Tinctures
  3. Lubricants: OmEdibles Body Oil vs KushQueen Ignite

This multi-method approach allowed for a more comprehensive understanding of how different cannabis products influence intimacy and pleasure.

Key takeaways

Our research provides compelling insights into how cannabis influences intimacy, pleasure, and orgasmic experiences. Whether solo or with a partner, respondents reported longer, easier, and more satisfying pleasure sessions when cannabis was involved:

  • Longer. Cannabis increased the longevity of pleasure sessions for 64% (solo) and 73% (partnered) of respondents.
  • Faster. Cannabis eased reaching orgasm for 63% (solo) and 71% (partnered) of respondents.
  • Better. Cannabis made pleasure sessions significantly more satisfying, whether solo (85%) or with a partner (79%).
  • More. 43% (solo) and 48% (partnered) of respondents said adding cannabis resulted in more orgasms for many respondents.

These findings reinforce the idea that cannabis can be a valuable tool for enhancing sexual wellness. As research in this field continues to grow, it’s becoming increasingly clear that weed and sex can potentially lead to deeper, more fulfilling pleasure.

Other fun facts

For a natural way to spice things up, cannabis just might be your bedroom’s best-kept secret. Here are some more fun facts we uncovered in our research:

  • THC-infused edibles and vapes were most effective at increasing the number of orgasms, followed by CBD edibles and vapes.
  • Married people were the most likely (81%) to report increased duration of partner sessions with cannabis, followed by single (69%) and widowed/separated/divorced people (71%) during partner sessions.
  • 84% (partnered) and 80% (solo) of respondents reported cannabis helped them find sex toys more pleasurable.
  • When compared to sex with alcohol, cannabis creates more intense orgasms (66% vs 2%), longer sessions (57% vs 6%), and more satisfying foreplay (55% vs 3%).

It’s worth noting that there is no magic number when it comes to cannabis dosing to enhance sex — it’s important to find what works for you. Survey respondents greatly ranged in the typical amount of cannabis they used.

Longer Sessions

Cannabis has the potential to increase the longevity of your sexual experience — whether you’re partnered up or riding solo, though married respondents reported lengthier sessions, with or without their partners.

Additionally, respondents who self-identified as medium-dosing consumers experienced longer sessions under the influence of cannabis (82% much/somewhat longer) than others who self-identified as high (63%) or low (70%) dose consumers.

Do edibles make you last longer in bed? THC edibles appear to have the most significant impact on orgasm length and frequency. In general, respondents found THC products to be marginally more effective in enhancing their sexual experiences than CBD products.

More Sessions

Longer sessions? More orgasms. With or without a partner, respondents (who typically have an average of two orgasms per session) found that they experienced a greater frequency of orgasms with the aid of cannabis.

Interestingly enough, high-dose consumers were more likely to have multi-orgasmic sessions in general, with or without the aid of cannabis. Similarly, high-dose consumers were more likely to experience an increase in orgasms during solo sessions with cannabis (62% said more orgasms vs 36% / 41% low and medium doses, respectively.)

Those who identified as daily or frequent cannabis consumers were more likely to report orgasms with the help of cannabis, with (49% Daily, 54% frequent, 34% infrequent) or without (48% Daily, 49% frequent, 23% infrequent) a partner.

What about edibles for sex? THC edibles were once again found to be the most effective sexual aid in these cases. Although respondents reported an increase in orgasms with both THC and CBD, THC edibles consistently yielded the highest number.

Easier to climax

Up for a quickie? Respondents found that cannabis helped shorten the time it took to achieve orgasm, with or without a partner. The anecdotal and empirical evidence we collected indicates that the effects of cannabis helped shorten the time between the start of the session and the orgasm.

As for weed and masturbation, we observed respondents who are typically high-dose or frequent cannabis consumers report that it was easier to achieve orgasm during solo sessions (71% much/somewhat easier vs 60%/62% low and medium dose, respectively).

Respondents who use cannabis at least once a week reported reaching orgasm more easily with the aid of cannabis (72% daily, 74% frequent, 64% infrequent) or without (69% daily, 65% frequent, 48% infrequent) a partner.

Additionally, respondents who identified as parents more frequently reported easier orgasms with the use of cannabis than their non-parent counterparts.

Lioness data also found that the duration of each orgasm itself increased by 14% and 46% with cannabis in the mix and was associated with greater self-reported masturbation satisfaction. For reference, the average orgasm in the study lasted for 33.6 seconds with cannabis.

Satisfaction with Orgasm Quality

Participant satisfaction with orgasms was found to increase thanks to cannabis across a variety of groups. Whether they were alone, with a partner, using a sex toy or identified as a frequent cannabis consumer, it was clear cannabis for sex made their climaxes more enjoyable.

Respondents also found cannabis enhanced their experience with sex toys.

Married people reported experiencing more pleasure from sex toys with the aid of cannabis, with (87% much/somewhat more likely vs 77% single) and without a partner (90% much/somewhat more likely vs 85% single).

Similarly, sex toys were found more enjoyable by those who were more frequent cannabis consumers.

In those who experience occasional pain during sex, participants reported that cannabis helped mitigate pain during climax.

THC vs CBD

Dope, so cannabis can improve my sex life … but what’s the best weed for sex? We took a look at the effects of THC vs. CBD, as well as different product forms, on sexual experiences. Here’s what we found on the best cannabis for sex:

  • According to both self-report data and vaginal contraction data from the Lioness vibrator, both THC and CBD helped masturbation sessions last longer — on average, 12.6 minutes with 1.6 orgasms with the use of cannabis. For each individual, CBD and THC increased median time masturbating by 51% and 138% (compared to sober).
  • Lioness data found cannabis made it easier (faster) to reach the first orgasm — the amount of time required to reach the initial orgasm decreased by 15% and 25%.

  • Lioness data revealed the impact of cannabis on amount of orgasms per session. Sober sessions typically produced 1.2 orgasms, while CBD raised this average to 1.57 and THC to 1.66.
  • Generally, THC and CBD both facilitated easier orgasms. The CBD vape, however, produced the most subjective reports of effortless orgasms.

While CBD products improved the intensity of orgasm and reported satisfaction, the most intense and satisfying weed and sex Lioness sessions were reported after consumption of THC vapes and THC edibles.

In the Lioness journaling dataset, 34% of users started out describing unpleasant moods. Of these users, 85% reported more positive feelings after masturbating—unsurprising given the context!

As a whole, THC lubricant sessions were the most likely to enhance participant moods, taking them from solid ground to cloud nine.

Cannabis compared to alcohol

The study also found that sex with cannabis is a more positive experience than sex with alcohol.

Interestingly, the study found the older you are, the more likely you are to have sex under the influence of either cannabis or alcohol. The 21 – 34-year-old age group more rarely engages in sex under the influence of either substance than their 35+ counterparts.
