Looking for the best weed for sex?
Valentine’s Day may have come and gone, but you can celebrate romance and self-love all year long. Marijuana is well-known for its effects on our taste buds (munchies) and physical sensations, but it’s also great for sexual pleasure.
Scientifically, weed relaxes your blood vessels and allows more blood flow all over your body. Not only does this cause the notorious red-eyed stoner look, it also leads to increased arousal to your genitalia.

Weed can also reduce anxiety and increases euphoria – leading to longer orgasms and more play time. Here are a few thoughts from some high and horny Redditors on sex while high:
Having sex while high: what’s it like?
Magical Marijuana
“It’s like a whole body experience man. Me and my bf will get stoned and that sex is magical.”
Get High, not Baked
“The poison is in the dose. So’s the fun…At least for me, less tends to be more for sexy time. But if you get it right, sex is even more amazing. Shoot for “high”, not stoned…”
Less is more
“Chick perspective: Less is more, imho. Enough to feel free & enhanced w/ some body effects, but the main appeal should still be the sex, not the stone. Also, some KY is good to have on hand. And ya man needs to stay clearheaded enough to be able to focus.”
Stay Focused
“I don’t like sex when high. I can’t be in the moment and enjoy it, I end up thinking about what I want to make for dinner, random news articles, or ideas for assignments.”
Laugh Until You Come
“Sounds like a replay of last weekend. Got way too high and the wife and I beat down. I, no shit, laughed hysterically the whole time. I was telling jokes like a stand-up comedian the entire time. We laughed harder that night than in the whole year. 10 out 10 stars. Getting down after smoking is a wonderful experience.”
Sex, Sativa, and SSRIs
“I have been on anti-depressants since I was 15 years old. consequentially, sex has always been complicated for me. I always thought i’d never be able to come with a partner. Never had trouble by myself, but never was able to with anyone else, no matter how many different things I tried. I assumed it was my anxiety and never being able to be fully comfortable with someone. It sucked. I ended up just making sex about whoever I was fucking, and not focusing on my own pleasure. It was still fun, but I just thought i’d forever be shortchanged when it came to sex.
Until I started smoking that wonderful beautiful plant we all love, and it all changed. sex became so much better, in every way. I feel so much more confident, everything feels better, and I can come with a partner now!!! I can come in ways I never even thought were possible. Seriously, it’s made a genuinely huge difference on my self esteem. So to anyone out there who might be dealing with something similar, give trees a chance. cheers.”

Don’t Forget to Enjoy
“I was once high off my ass after taking an edible and had sex. Honestly I don’t remember most of it except that I was moaning so loud he had to cover my mouth and the head was great haha. So I’d say its probably great but you gotta make sure it’s with someone you’re comfortable, and feel safe sleeping, with :)”

“It does kind of depend on what your smoking. There have been times that I’ve had really amazing totally satisfying sex. There have also been times that it took our high asses a solid 5 minutes to find my vagina. We didn’t even have sex, we were laughing too hard that we lost it”
Best weed strains for sex (according to real people)
Now that you know what high sex is like, you may be wondering what the best strains for sex are. Generally speaking, any type of weed can make sex better. However, all strains have individual properties that can change your experience.
Sativas, known for their head high, can increase your sexual prowess. Indicas, known for their body high, can increase your physical sensations. On the other hand, THC-heavy sativas can lead to anxiety or an almost psychedelic experience, and indicas can leave you “in-da-couch” if you consume too much.
Some strains can lower sex drive, while others may increase it. Many people prefer a good hybrid, best of both worlds. Here are some Reddit-recommended strains to enjoy before doing the deed:
Gelato x Do-Si-Do
“I’ll say something rolled: not just cause it gets you real high, but because you will both look sexy smoking like that. Shotgun into the other’s mouth. Take it slow, you need your lungs. You don’t want to get blasted by a bong or a dab because you might lose some of your awareness. My girlfriend and I had edibles last week and instead of fucking when we normally would, we were asleep, lol.
As for strains, I think you want a hybrid. Indicas are the ones that really make those orgasms spread over your whole body, but sativas are going to really increase your performance and appreciation. I had a Gelato x Do-Si-Do hybrid recently that made interstellar sex.”

Jack Herer
“I like Jack Herer and any strain that gives me energy and that trippy artistic vibe feel. All strains increase my sensitivity so those just add the cherry on top.”
Sour Diesel
“I recently had AMAZING sex with the help of some Sour D. I’ve noticed sativas and sativa-dominants do a lot to get me in the mood and enhance things once they’re going.”
Sour Diesel
“It’s amazing. You last longer too, at least I do. It’s awesome.”
AC/DC
“Try something with a higher cbd/thc ratio. My suggestion would be ACDC. I believe it’s 50/50 but I could be wrong.”
Gorilla Glue
“Any heavier, giggly, Indica works for me. Swamp Thing and Gorilla Glue are two that come to mind.” “Had some gorilla glue and sex. Strongly recommend.”

Girl Scout Cookies
“A nice hybrid like GSC. The orgasms can be mind blowing. Highly recommend.” “Girl Scout Cookies is another great one for sex ;)”
White Widow
“In my opinion, I like indica. I feel like I can feel everything more. It depends if i’m trying to have casual sex or aggressive sex. Obviously for the aggressive sex I’d recommend a sativa. But if you’re just trying to chill and masturbate, smoke some purp or white widow. You’ll be feeling everything all over.”
White Widow
“For hours, all I had to think of was sex, and it was like I could come on the spot. I was embarrassed, so I borrowed my buddy’s bed, and fingered myself until I could think a bit more clearly. Around the time it peaked, all I could think of was having sex, even propositioning one of my best male friends to help me out.”
No matter what strain you choose, weed may heighten your sensual, sexual experience. There are a few ways to increase the odds of having a good time, however, according to Reddit consensus, the best way to ensure a great experience during high sex is to control your dose.
If it’s your first time or you want to stay active, go for a joint or vape – edibles may put you to sleep. Outside of weed, make sure you choose a partner who understands the importance of consent, and focuses on your enjoyment.
Happy toking and poking.
