A recent study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine has highlighted the potential benefits of cannabis in enhancing sexual satisfaction and orgasm frequency among women, particularly those with female orgasmic disorder (FOD). This groundbreaking research, led by Suzanne Mulvehill, a clinical sexologist, and Jordan Tishler, a doctor affiliated with the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists and inhaleMD, marks a significant step in understanding the therapeutic effects of marijuana on sexual health. Their study, which surveyed 387 participants, found that a majority reported difficulties in achieving orgasm, with over 70% of those using cannabis before partnered sex noting improvements in orgasm frequency, satisfaction, and ease.
This discovery comes at a pivotal time, as several U.S. states are considering recognizing FOD as a condition eligible for medical marijuana treatment. Mulvehill and Tishler, who have been at the forefront of advocating for the inclusion of FOD in medical marijuana programs, emphasize the broader implications of their findings. Women with FOD, they report, are more likely to suffer from mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and are more frequently on pharmaceutical medications than those without FOD. This research not only sheds light on the positive impact of cannabis on sexual health but also underscores the importance of addressing FOD as a significant medical and human rights issue.
The move to potentially include FOD as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana usage is currently being deliberated in states like Illinois, Ohio, New Mexico, and Connecticut, with public hearings and comments being solicited. This initiative reflects a growing recognition of cannabis's therapeutic potential across various aspects of sexual function, not limited by sex or gender. Other studies corroborate these findings, indicating that cannabis may play a role in enhancing sexual desire, orgasmic experience, and overall sexual pleasure, potentially narrowing the orgasm inequality gap between genders.
This research and its implications highlight a shift towards more holistic approaches to sexual health and wellness, recognizing the complex interplay between mental health and sexual satisfaction, and opening new avenues for treatment and understanding of female sexual dysfunction.
