This includes many activities. It has the effect of dissolving boundaries and helping us reach a state of flow. For sexual enhancement you might try topical lubricants (such as foria), or edibles or inhaled cannabis. Start with a low dose and enjoy!\n\nandrewvanmd\n_____________________\nAs Dr. Vanderveer mentioned, cannabis in general, can relax people and make them enjoy each others company which can enhance sexual pleasure. At this point in time there are only several products available specifically for \"sexual enhancement\". Foria has 2 products that we have had very good reports about. Foria Pleasure is a topical spray that is applied around and slightly inside the vagina. It has been reported to have no \"high\" related to the application except that women have reported feeling more relaxed and have a warm sensation in their vagina. However if oral sex occurs after application, the partner performing that act can experience a \"high\".\r\n\r\nForia also has Foria Explore that is a suppository for rectal administration. It has been reported to make anal sex more comfortable and pleasurable and therefore more enjoyable.\r\n\r\nIn both of these products, and any cannabis usage in general, its not always about \"you\". When your partner is feeling good, having pleasurable sensations, getting satisfaction from what you are doing with them, it leads to an enhancement of your own sexual pleasure. And sometimes, that's enough!\n\nPerry Solomon, MD","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11364-markdown","title":"Is this the best cannabis sex lube out there?

We take great care to provide you with high quality products. Our product contains pure cannabis extract and 100% natural liquid coconut oil (MCT oil).   Our cannabis oil is extracted using leading-edge solvent- free pharmaceutical grade processes that provide extracts in their purest possible form.  To ensure the cleanest and safest final product possible we test Foria at multiple stages in the process.  We test for potency, pesticides, residual solvents and microbials. \nForia Pleasure comes in a nice glass bottle and box and looks and feels elegant.\n\nkarin\n_____________________\nOur very own @Perry Solomon, MD & @pamelahadfield talk about Foria Pleasure in the video below. Here's an excerpt of their discussion:\n\nPamela Hadfield: ... cannabis can actually enhance somebody's sex life. Not every strain of cannabis is going to help you have better sex, and not every product is going to help you have better sex. But there are certain products out in the market today that will.\n\nDr. Solomon: What products are these? \n\nHadfield: ... One is called Foria Pleasure, and it's a sexual enhancement lubricant for women. ... And it basically warms up the area and gets people in the mood for sex.\n\nDr. Solomon: How does it work?\n\nHadfield: Well, I think for many people, they want to relax, they have a sense of anxiety, and also cannabis has been shown to increase the frequency, the duration and the intensity of orgasms. So sexual lubricant for women is actually a great way to go because there aren't many products ... that help enhance sexuality for women.\n\nPlay the video to find out more:\n\nlyp","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11328-markdown","title":"Can marijuana help with yeast infections or UTIs?

Foria Pleasure contains activated THC and when ingested orally, will have an effect consistent with an edible.  So, while perfectly safe to eat, if your partner ingests enough he might feel high.    Each spray contains 2.5 mg of THC.  Be mindful how much you use and I would give it a little time to absorb before, so he doesn't eat it all ;-).\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11311-markdown","title":"As a survivor of sexual trauma, I'm intrigued with Foria to help \"get going\".  3 questions:","slug":"as-a-survivor-of-sexual-trauma-im-intrigued-with-foria-to-help-get-going-3-questions","content":"\"1.

What's the reaction time?  Most edibles have a delayed effect, is this true for Foria as well?\"\n_____________________\nHi,\n\n1.   Foria Pleasure is designed to be used topically on the clitoris, vulva and inside vagina for enhanced sexual pleasure.   Although Foria contains activated THC and absorbs into your body, when used vaginally, most people do not experience a psychoactive high (as is mostly the case with oral use of THC).   Foria Pleasure does not contain CBD.   Foria Pleasure is made with liquid coconut oil that is also very good for female hygiene - pH Balancing or and anti microbial.  \n\n2.   Foria Pleasure is made with non strain specific THC as we have discovered the specific strain makes little or no difference when used this way. \n\n3.  Foria Pleasure will absorb in about 15-30 minutes,  a great time for foreplay!\n\nkarin","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11308-markdown","title":"Are there certain strains that heighten my sexual experience? ","slug":"are-there-certain-strains-that-heighten-my-sexual-experience","content":"\"I've read that certain strains like Alaskan Thunder Fuck, can do that. Is this true?\"\n_____________________\nI think it varies from strain to strain and also from your surroundings. I've had strong sexual enhancement from a wide variety of strains, usually indicas will produce more of that body feel that creates more sensation. However, if you are smoking by yourself, chances are you wont be sitting their alone with a boosted libido. Im a firm believer that cannabis will not create desire, but if you already have it then it definitely has the potential to boost it in a pretty significant way. Cannabis affects everyone so differently that i could recommend you my most libido boosting strain and it will do nothing for you. So experiment with a good indica in a comfortable environment with someone that you are comfortable with. Experimentation is part of the fun of sex after all!\n\ncannabear","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11302-markdown","title":"Cannabis use, blood pressure and stroke risk..","slug":"cannabis-use-blood-pressure-and-stroke-risk","content":"\"I read an article about a New Zealand study that found a correlation between cannabis use and increased risk of stroke. I myself am 29, slightly overweight and my blood pressure has always been slightly high.. last time i believe it was 130/80. My father also had a stroke 3 years ago which has left me a bit paranoid. I have noticed that while using cannabis I sometimes experience rapid heartbeat, especially during sex. Though i feel healthy enough to use cannabis despite the rapid heartbeat and other things, I dont want to shoot my blood pressure through the roof and i definitely dont want to increase my risk of stroke! Is this something to be legitimately concerned about or am i being paranoid? What can i do to ensure that my cannabis use isnt putting me at risk for circulatory health issues? \"\n_____________________\nHaving a predisposition for cardiovascular disease and a stroke is typically revealed in your genetic chart as an MTHFR snp. Consider reading 'Feel Good' by Dr Amy Yasko, since she explains why we want to know what's in our genetic chart because then we can plan around the defects in your genetic chart so you don't have to go down the same pathway as your family members. Keep in mind that vitamin D deficiency is rampant in the United States because were all working indoor, we wear sunscreen, we shower regularly washing the vitamin D off our skin and we wear clothes so we are not naked outside all day like our ancestors. Vitamin D deficiency is one of the leading causes of hypertension. Add to that our overconsumption of meat and very small servings of vegetables or greens in our diet and to much sodium and we are set up for a stroke. If you do have the \nMTHFR snp, you are actually allergic to folic acid and you should work on removing folic acid from your diet while increasing raw organic greens or take methyfolicin daily and try to remove neurological toxins from your diet.\nNow, about cannabis, please consider adding CBD cannabis during the day when you can't be high because CBD cannabis does tend to protect your heart and blood pressure, cannabis contributes methyl groups so your genetic chart will tend to work better. If you consistently do high THC, it can increase your heart rate and blood pressure so I always recommend that you follow high THC with high CBD so you can go to sleep and it will balance the high THC in your system. A nice Indica, or a mild Sativa can help with a sexual function for women especially. \nDue to cycling female hormones, women tend to be protected until they reached peri-menopause, when their risk factors increase and make them more prone to high blood pressure and vascular disease. If you are a man, your risks tend to be higher at a younger age.\nSince you are aware that this is a potential problem, you should be exercising at least 45 minutes per day six days per week, eating a very healthy, organic diet with minimal processed foods, supplement with CoQ 10, omega-3, methylated B vitamins and vitamin D3 in order to live a long healthy life but do consider getting your genetic chart with a methylation analysis so you know the exact supplements you need for your genetics. \nIt is also very important to realize all of our days are numbered, so live in the moment, be happy and healthy and learn how to let stress run off your back rather than holding onto stressful situations. Another book that may help is Eckhart Tolle, 'The Power of Now', since now is the only moment we can live fully since we do not live in the past or the future. It is worth your time to know yourself.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11300-markdown","title":"I am a 64 yr old man.

I have had \"signs\" that this may be possible but not a complete erection.  Would continued use of medical cannabis (RSO, indica strain vaping, eatables) help me to achieve the ability to be sexual.\"\n_____________________\nSince CBD will reduce any performance anxiety, you may want to add CBD cannabis for daytime use and then use your Indica for sexual activity. CBD may actually help to heal the nerves and that would benefit you also. I would venture to say that you might try some of the topical cannabis designed as a spray for women to increase pleasure but you may want to try it on your penis. Given your age you very likely have had a decline in your HGH level and that affects your ability to function sexually. You could have a 7 AM  IGF-1 serum level measured and ideally it should be close to 200 but if it is under 100 you need support. I have helped a lot of men support their IGF-1 naturally but due to constraints I can't talk about that information here, you would have to contact me outside this website. Do try the cannabis first and you might try interval training to see if it will help your IGF-1 level. \nPlease be certain you have adequate vitamin D blood levels, above 50 ng/ML for optimal results because of vitamin D and CBD cannabis should correct your fibromyalgia as long as you are not taking supplemental calcium, you should get your calcium from vegetables and leafy greens instead. Also, you want them to measure your total and free testosterone levels at 7 AM. You just may need a little hormonal shifting but you should come back to normal.\nIf you have had prostate cancer, that is usually do to high estrogen levels in your prostate or exposure to environmental toxins such as glyphosates. You may want to look into the Wiley protocol for men.\nGood luck but keep us posted on how you're doing if you need additional help, since we are here to help you.\n\ndrolson","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_11295-markdown","title":"I am 64 years old.

Thank you for sharing your FORIA #PleasureStory with us and with HelloMD. \n\nWe often focus a lot of FORIA's messaging around the therapeutic benefits this cannabis product can provide for those who experience pain during intercourse. It's always incredible for us to hear new stories on how FORIA helped someone access pain relief with an all-natural product such as FORIA Pleasure. But FORIA is for ALL sexually active women (of legal age for cannabis consumption) whether you have a specific problem in your present sex life or not. \n\nIt's powerful for women like yourself to share your experience with other women encouraging them to try something new. Maybe your current bedroom activities are great, but what if they could be even better?

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the strains that relax the body and reduce stress Indica or indica dominant hybrids) may help enhance sex. To improve overall physiological functioning, including that of the sex organs, a tincture of high CBD/low THC or 1:1 ratio may help, but it may take 4-6 week to see any changes. A solid exercise regime along with improved diet will also help, obviously.\n\ndneice\n_____________________\nI can not say specifically if marijuana will help your sex life as everyone reacts differently to cannabis. Add to this it can depend on what strain you are smoking if this is how you consume it or what product you choose to take if you are not smoking. There is a lot online you can read about how marijuana does indeed seem to help people's sex life. I wrote an article that touches on this topic a few months ago called \"Cannabis Improves Your Sex Life\" (link below). \n\nhttps://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5637e9676424cf000c000005/cannabis-improves-your-sex-life-the-top-5-reasons-you-should-give-cannabis-a-try\n\nSome people believe cannabis can be good for sex in that for many people it can relieve anxiety. Others evidence seems to point to cannabis allowing the body to experience deeper and longer orgasms. Some men indicate that it is 'nature's Viagra'. Marijuana has been pointed to as an aphrodisiac for thousands of years, so it is not surprising that there seems to be a resurgence around this now that cannabis is somewhat in the limelight.\n\nPsychiatrist, Dr. Lester Grinspoon, told High Times that weed “greatly enhances the sexual experience for many people. There’s no doubt that when people are high, they’re more sensitive to their sexual feelings and urges.” This all seems very positive! But again, it is subjective to what you consume. Smoking a strain that keeps you couch-locked is not sexy for instance. \n\nSome strains that are commonly called out for sexual enhancement are: Voodoo, GrandDaddy Purple and Flo. These are by no means the only strains, but seem to be commonplace in strain lists that create 'the mood'.\n\nThe other option that is great for the ladies in the room are sexual lubricant enhancers. Two that are very popular in California is 'Quiver' by HerbaBuena and 'Foria Pleasure' by Foria. Both of these are topical applications  are applied to the vaginal area about 30 minutes before sex and can create a sensation that leads some to say 'Wow'. Topical applications do not create a head high, which some people prefer.\n\nIt is interesting to note in our recent HelloMD patient study 13% of participants indicated they use marijuana as a libido enhancer. What is even more interesting is that more women than men use it in this way.\n\nHope this helps!\n\n\npamelahadfield\n_____________________\nGreat question!   Using cannabis as an aphrodisiac is an ancient tradition.   Cannabis promotes relaxation and increased blood flow.   THC is also known to positively affect cell receptors directly involved in tactile sensation and euphoria, and inhibit pain while allowing for more pleasant signals to be received by the brain.\n\nkarin\n_____________________\nIn general, I think a lot of cannabis products can help with libido. I don't think this is really a question of which strain to use, but more which method of ingestion do you prefer? Additionally, there are some specific products made by Foria that you might want to take a look at.\n\n\nmark","image":null}},{"node":{"id":"Question_10859-markdown","title":"Does Foria do anything for the male sexual partner?","slug":"does-foria-do-anything-for-the-male-sexual-partner","content":"\"Does the THC component affect males as well as females?\"\n_____________________\nThis is a great question! I am a big fan of Foria products and have used both their product as well as competitive products as sensual lubricants. The effect is a localized sensation that typically increases the woman's sensitivity, in a good way and may lead to stronger orgasm, depending on the person. Typically, it is advised that they be used 20 or 30 minutes prior to sexual activity. If this is the case, the male partner would not experience any difference other than the fact their partner thinks they are AMAZING.
