There is always debate on whether or not marijuana affects people in negative ways. This is especially true when you ask a stoner if his sex life is being affected from his pot habit. He is going to tell you not at all bro, but is it the truth? What does it do to them sexually? In theory, nothing, but let’s look at some of the things it does affect, and you will see how it indirectly does affect your sex life. The side effects of marijuana are great and vary from person to person.
Marijuana has many names such as weed, herb, pot, ganja, hash, and many others. It comes from a Cannabis Sativa plant and is green or brown in appearance. The drug is derived from the flowers, leaves, seeds, and stems of the marijuana plant. Marijuana contains over 400 chemicals but the main active ingredient is tetrahydrocannabinol. This is the ingredient that affects your sensory components and your reaction time. Reaction time is kind of important when you are engaged in sex. The ability to think coherently is another factor that you need to have control of to have sex with someone.
Long-term users may have decreased interest in goals, hampered concentration, drowsiness, and euphoria all of which may eventually lead to inappropriate decisions, poor body coordination, and memory loss. So how does it affect your sex life? It can make you lazy and the poor body coordination can make it difficult to engage in sexual activity. All and all it depends on how your chemistry reacts to the drug and the individual effect that it has on you. Some people are able to carry on as normal with the drug in their system. For others it renders them almost catatonic.
