How to Elevate Intimacy with Cannabis

Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or just a casual Tuesday night…

Get playful and experiment with these fun ways to enhance your arousal using cannabis in the bedroom.

Just because flights are grounded these days, doesn’t mean you can’t join the mile-high club. As cannabis culture continues to become a little more mainstream, so does the proclivity to get a touch more daring with cannabis in other aspects of your life. With Valentine’s day just around the corner, we thought it would be fun to share some intimate ideas on how you and your partner – or maybe just you – can mix things up.

There are many reasons why cannabis is a great addition to your nighttime rendezvous. Depending on the strain you use, consumption of cannabis can take your experience to new heights by enhancing the senses, safely lowering inhibitions, and reducing bedroom anxieties. It can be a great aphrodisiac and help encourage creativity with your sexual explorations. Topical applications under the sheets are also a fantastic place to start as they don’t have any psycho-active effects and it can help to decrease pain, promote blood flow and enhance arousal.

Just as everyone’s sexual preferences are unique, so is the type of high that you might enjoy while being intimate. Experimenting with different forms, strains, and applications is a great way to figure out exactly what tickles your fancy. There are some really great journals on the market that helps you to better understand your body, keep track of the dosages you use before or during intimacy, and how you reacted and enjoyed (or didn’t enjoy) the experience.

Of course, using cannabis in a new situation should always be approached with caution and curiosity. While cannabis is proven to be an incredibly safe substance, there are some things that are important to consider before partaking.

First and foremost, obtain consent from both (or all) parties. Nothing takes the sexy out of sex when someone is not, or is no longer, a willing participant. Have an open dialogue with your partner(s) before consuming any cannabis and discuss your boundaries. It’s also a good idea to establish a backup plan if someone reaches a high they are no longer comfortable with. We suggest having a snugglefest on the couch (which also feels AMAZING) and watching a movie.

We are big fans of the “start low, go slow” method which allows you to ease into the experience and avoid getting “too high.”

If at any point you do feel like you’ve reached this point, tell your partner and initiate your backup plan. Remember, keep the lines of communication open before, during, and after stoned sex to build a strong foundation of trust with your sexual partner(s).

Now that we’ve got all the ‘serious stuff’ out of the way, let’s dive into the world of possibilities for your Valentine’s evening festivities!

THC Chocolates

We all know that foreplay starts well before you ever hit the sheets, this is especially important for women. Enter Chocolate! Yes, it tastes great on its own, but there are several ways to get cheeky with chocolates. Keep in mind that edible cannabis products can take up to four hours to feel the full effects and the high can last anywhere between six and twelve hours following use.

There’s likely not a person on this planet who doesn’t love a delicious chocolate covered strawberry and believe it or not, they’re extremely easy to make! Just replace the normal chocolates with TCH Chocolate and you have a delicious and sensual desert to eat before jumping into bed together. Try this THC Chocolate Covered Strawberries recipe!

Oils, both edible and topical have a whole realm of possibilities for you to play with. They are available in both THC, CBD, or Hybrid varieties depending on what kind of mood and experience you’re seeking. Oils can typically take anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours to feel the effects and the effects can last anywhere between six and twelve hours following use.

Ditch the alcohol and make some fun THC cocktails to sip with your partner. The psycho-active effects will have you both raring to jump under the sheets in no time! Try this Seductive THC Mocktail recipe.

Topical oils have the potential to be very romantic in nature. THC can cause a soothing, tingling sensation when applied topically and it also promotes increased blood-flow (hint hint). We’ll let you fill in the blanks here…

If you want a relaxing massage before you get into it, a bottle of hybrid body oil intended for muscle and pain relief would be a great start. You can also get an oral THC oil and add your preferred dose to a tablespoon of coconut oil.

Flower

Last but not least, there is always the tried-and-true bud. Whether your preference is to roll it or put it in a pipe is completely up to you. And the best part about a pre-romp toke? Sharing a few shotgun kisses with your partner. Talk about intimate foreplay! One person takes a hoot and then slooowly exhales into your partners mouth with a kiss. This can sometimes take a bit of practice, but it’s such a fun thing to attempt with someone you’re crazy about.
