Hey guys, Jill here. This is actually funny that I came across this article, because just between you and me reader, I used to love to smoke a little marijuana here and there when I was in college a LONG time ago.  Too long ago. A lady never reveals her age though, right?

One thing that I remember very distinctly about one of the side effects of marijuana on me, besides the munchies, the sillies, and the occasional bout of extreme paranoia, was the fact that it seemed to really, really enhance sex for me.

It seemed like it took sexual experience to this whole different level for me actually, like it just enveloped me and my lover, making everything feel so much more visceral and alive, and making the sensations course through your veins.

I think it had the same effect on him as well, but I can’t be sure – it certainly seemed to, and actually, a lot of men who smoke pot report that they think it enhances their sex life.  So, as with all other useless studies, a study was done on whether, in fact, cannabis enhances a man’s sex life and performance, or whether it can actually damage your penis’ enjoyment and performance while doing the deed.

Even though many men think marijuana is a sort of libido enhancer, and women’s aphrodisiac, in fact, the scientific study found that habitual pot smokers who light up pretty often actually experience more problems with impotence and erectile dysfunction to some level, more than men who do not smoke pot.

Perhaps more concerning was the in human patients of the study as well as monkey subjects, they found that in penis tissue, there were actually receptors for the active chemical responsible for the high feeling in marijuana, THC.  The smooth muscle that is responsible for the shape and erections of the penis contained these receptors.

So theoretically, you could be playing with fire if you are a habitual pot smoker that enjoys the habit a bit too much. You may actually, in the long run, be damaging the function of your penis and going down a path of possible erection problems as the habit goes on longer and your penis function is more impaired.

That is, until the next study finds that this one was hogwash, and we start all over again listening to these nonsensical studies
