Literature review and survey data support that cannabis can offer benefits to individuals who have \u2018female orgasm difficulties or dysfunction.&#8217;\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Is Female Orgasmic Disorder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The American Sexual Health Association defines Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD) as a persistent or recurrent delay in or absence of orgasm following sexual arousal and stimulation. In particular, women who find issues having an orgasm through vaginal penetration alone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While many Americans have never heard of female orgasmic disorder, that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean it&#8217;s uncommon. Almost <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exxcellence.org\/list-of-pearls\/female-sexual-interestarousal-disorder-and-female-orgasmic-disorder\/?categoryName=&amp;searchTerms=&amp;featured=False&amp;bookmarked=False&amp;sortColumn=date&amp;sortDirection=Descending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">43% of women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> experience sexual dysfunction. 12% of women report related personal distress, with a peak occurring in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/cannabis-across-life-middle-age\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">middle age<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (14.8% of women aged 45-64 years).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most extensive US study of female dysfunction includes responses from over 30,000 women, with the prevalence of FOD being approximately 21%.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Causes Female Orgasmic Disorder?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashasexualhealth.org\/orgasmic-disorder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Several medical conditions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can make it difficult for a woman to achieve orgasm. For example, conditions that impact the nervous system, such as spinal cord injuries, can affect nerves located in the pelvis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions like arthritis, thyroid problems, and asthma have also been associated with FOD. Research indicates that it often isn\u2019t the condition alone &#8211; but also the stress of managing a chronic illness and pain on a woman\u2019s mental and emotional well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specific prescriptions can affect a woman\u2019s ability to orgasm. Antidepressants, antipsychotics, antihistamines, and high blood pressure medications may make a female orgasm more difficult to achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Psychological factors may also affect a woman\u2019s ability to reach orgasm. Fatigue, stress, anxiety, and depression can all be contributors. In some cultures, women may be raised to believe that they should not find enjoyment in sex, leading some to feel guilt or shame in enjoying sex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On top of that, poor body image can cause anxiety or discomfort during sexual intercourse, leading to difficulty reaching orgasm or experiencing pleasure.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, the chance of FOD can increase with communication issues between partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Symptoms Of Female Orgasmic Disorder<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anorgasmia, or female orgasmic disorder, is defined by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/anorgasmia\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20369422\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as experiencing any of the following in significant ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delayed orgasm<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absence of orgasm<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer orgasms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less-intense orgasms<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Female Orgasmic Disorder can occur in different frequencies for individuals, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Lifelong<\/strong> &#8211; if the woman has never had an orgasm.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Acquired<\/strong> &#8211; if the woman is experiencing new problems with having orgasms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Situational<\/strong> &#8211; if the woman has problems with orgasm only in certain situations, with particular kinds of stimulation, or with specific partners.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Generalized<\/strong> &#8211; if the woman has problems with orgasms in any situation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Can Cannabis Help With Female Orgasmic Disorder?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Female Orgasmic Disorder may be treated with a number of traditional and alternative methods. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the root issue is a medication or medical condition, a healthcare provider can explore ways to address the underlying issues. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therapy or counseling may also help if the relationship or psychological impacts are a factor. Couples counseling can help those in relationships improve their communication skills and discuss conflicts that may affect trust and intimacy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Significantly, <a href=\"https:\/\/content.time.com\/time\/subscriber\/article\/0,33009,857838,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research from the past 50 years<\/a> indicates that cannabis can help women patients who suffer from female orgasmic disorder.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dr Suzanne Mulvehill, founder of the Female Orgasm Research Institute, cannabis and sex is one of the most well-researched relationships in cannabis medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI honestly cannot think of another condition with a longer research history than cannabis and sex\u2014particularly its effects on female orgasm,\u201d said Mulvehill.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the latest study from the Female Orgasm Research Institute builds on an established pattern of research from the last five decades, beginning with documentation from ancient times and seventh-century tantric traditions.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jsm\/article\/21\/Supplement_2\/qdae002.010\/7618309?login=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Female Orgasmic Research Institute&#8217;s newest study<\/a>, led by Mulvehill, is the first to focus specifically on cannabis as a potential treatment for Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"452\" data-end=\"811\">Conducted between March and November 2022, the observational study analyzed nearly 400 women, assessing factors such as demographics, sexual behavior, mental health, cannabis use, and responses to the orgasm subscale of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The FSFI measured orgasm frequency, satisfaction, and ease \u2014 with and without cannabis before sex.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"813\" data-end=\"985\">The majority of participants who reported difficulty achieving orgasm were women aged 25\u201334 (52%), identified as white (75%), and were married or in a relationship (82%).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1112\">Among those experiencing orgasm difficulties, cannabis use prior to partnered sex was associated with notable improvements:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1251\">\n<li data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1163\">72.8% reported an increase in orgasm frequency<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1211\">67% experienced greater orgasm satisfaction<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1212\" data-end=\"1251\">71% found orgasms easier to achieve<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1475\">The study also found that the frequency of cannabis use before sex directly correlated with increased orgasm frequency in women with FOD. However, individual responses to cannabis varied based on the reasons for its use.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before adding this condition to their medical cannabis program, the Illinois Department of Public Health reviewed the wide base of research &#8212; including Mulvehill&#8217;s newest study.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMedical cannabis has been shown to offer an effective means of relief from a variety of debilitating medical conditions and symptoms.

Here are a few to consider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Flower<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing to smoke cannabis can be one of the quickest ways for cannabis to take effect on the body and mind. Depending on the strain type (indica, sativa, or hybrid), you can expect your high to set in quickly compared to edibles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indica strains will help the mind relax, which may help your confidence in the bedroom while decreasing anxiety. On the other hand, sativas are known to help consumers feel a body-focused high, which may contribute to heightened sensations and increased pleasure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Topicals<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cannabis or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-cannabis-lubricants-for-a-sensual-valentines-day\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THC topicals or lubes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be especially fun to use for sexual moments with a partner. Many brands create topicals focused on helping body muscles unwind and creating a sense of physical relief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Topicals could be used for massages while getting in the mood for sex. Cannabis used for a topical sense is not intoxicating but is well-known to help individuals relieve pain or discomfort &#8212; and focus on pleasure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Edibles<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">THC edibles have a slower onset time compared to smoking flower or dabs. While the onset time may differ, edibles are excellent for inducing body high and effects that last longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Illinois Department of Public Health made a wave for female consumers nationwide.
