Best Weed for Sex with Sophie Saint Thomas

We’re thrilled to feature author, sex expert, and cannabis advocate Sophie Saint Thomas, as she shares her insights on how to enhance pleasure and intimacy with the right strains and cannabis products.

In this episode, we explore how cannabis can play a pivotal role in enhancing intimacy, relaxation, and connection with your partner or yourself. Saint Thomas, known for her expertise in both cannabis and sexual health, provides a unique perspective on which strains are best for sex and why they make such a significant impact. If you’re curious about which cannabis strains might turn up the heat in the bedroom, you’re in the right place.

How Does Cannabis Enhance Sexual Pleasure?

The relationship between cannabis and sex has been celebrated for centuries. Cannabis can elevate pleasure by activating sensory receptors, reducing inhibitions, and boosting relaxation. But not all strains are created equal when it comes to intimacy. Some strains have effects that may enhance your experience, while others may leave you feeling sleepy or overly sedated. Saint Thomas explains how to select strains that elevate sensations and put you in the right mood, so you can enjoy a more connected and satisfying experience.

Best Weed for Sex: Choosing the Right Strain

While any cannabis experience is personal, certain strains are known for their effects on libido and arousal. According to Saint Thomas, you may want to look for strains with specific cannabinoid profiles. Here are a few tips from the episode:

Seek out strains with a balanced THC-CBD ratio – Higher levels of THC can sometimes cause anxiety in sensitive users, which can counteract the relaxation needed for an intimate setting. A balanced THC-CBD strain, or even CBD-dominant products, can offer a relaxing experience without the jitteriness.

Opt for terpenes that promote relaxation and euphoria  – Terpenes are the aromatic compounds in cannabis that determine a strain’s unique scent and effect. Saint Thomas suggests strains high in     linalool     (found in lavender) for its relaxing properties,     limonene     (citrusy scents) for mood elevation, and     myrcene     (found in hops and mango) to enhance relaxation.

Avoid overly sedative strains     – While indica strains may seem like a good choice for relaxation, some can be too sedating, which isn’t ideal for intimacy. Sativas or balanced hybrids can be better options, especially those that provide a gentle, uplifting high.

Sophie Saint Thomas’s Recommendations

In the episode, Sophie Saint Thomas shares some of her personal favorite strains that are known for enhancing sexual experiences. Whether you’re looking to explore alone or with a partner, these strains might just become your favorites, too:

Granddaddy Purple – Known for its euphoric and relaxing effects, this strain is popular for relieving tension and stress, allowing users to feel more present and connected in the moment.

Sour Diesel – A classic sativa, this strain is energizing yet calming, helping to elevate your mood without causing drowsiness.

Blue Dream – This balanced hybrid offers both relaxation and mental clarity, making it a fantastic option for those looking to stay in the moment and fully enjoy the experience.

Sophie Saint Thomas emphasizes that everyone’s body chemistry is different, so it may take some experimentation to find what works best for you.

For example, linalool, the terpene found in lavender, is fantastic for relaxation.

Tips for Finding Your Best Weed for Sex

If you’re new to cannabis or exploring it for intimate enhancement, here are some practical tips from Sophie Saint Thomas and the SetSet Show team:

Start low and go slow – Especially if you’re new to using cannabis for intimacy, start with a small dose and increase gradually to avoid any unwanted side effects.

Experiment with different formats – Edibles, tinctures, and vapes can provide different effects. Inhaling cannabis will generally produce faster effects than edibles, but the duration may be shorter.

Create a comfortable setting  – Set the mood for a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re alone or with a partner, creating a cozy environment can enhance the effects of cannabis.

Listen to your body – Remember that everyone’s body chemistry interacts differently with cannabis. Trust your instincts and adjust to find what works best for you.
