There is a lot of stigma associated with erectile dysfunction. Although people are now more aware of the condition, many are still hesitant to seek medical help. Additionally, many people do not want to use medications and “the blue pill” for the condition. So, could CBD be one of the natural remedies? Can CBD make sex life better?
One might wonder how CBD could possibly help with erectile dysfunction? Well, for that, it is vital to understand what erectile dysfunction is and what it isn’t.
Unlike what many men believe, it is rarely due to hormonal issues. In most men living with erectile dysfunction, hormone levels are more or less normal. Testosterone levels are more likely to influence libido and fertility than erectile function.
The two most common causes of erectile dysfunction are vascular and psychogenic. Vascular issues are often secondary to metabolic disorders, inflammation, and various chronic health issues. So, now, one can imagine how CBD could be helpful. It helps manage some of the root causes of the condition.
One of the ways in which CBD may help is by reducing stress and anxiety. It is especially good for psychogenic erectile dysfunction. CBD is known to reduce stress and anxiety. It may help boost confidence and thus indirectly enhance sexual performance.(1)
There is also some role for CBD in vascular erectile dysfunction (ED). Remember that vascular issues often occur secondary to inflammation and metabolic health issues. CBD is known to have vasodilatory properties, meaning it can widen blood vessels and improve blood flow. Proper blood circulation is crucial for achieving and maintaining an erection. By promoting better blood flow to the genitals, CBD may help alleviate ED symptoms.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates various physiological processes, including mood, appetite, pain sensation, and reproductive function. CBD interacts with the ECS by influencing cannabinoid receptors, which may help restore balance and improve overall bodily function, potentially benefiting sexual health and reducing ED symptoms.
Chronic inflammation is associated with many health conditions, including ED. CBD has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce inflammation in the body, including inflammation in blood vessels and erectile tissue. By decreasing inflammation, CBD oil may improve blood flow and erectile function.(2)
Of course, do not compare CBD with the little blue pill. It would not provide instant relief. It has a completely different mechanism of action. Little blue pill or Viagra works by enhancing blood flow to penile tissues. However, this pill does not help rectify the problem, and it only works for a few hours.
However, CBD is more about enhancing well-being. Using CBD is a long-term investment in health and well-being. It works by gradually improving overall health. Thus, it benefits ED indirectly. Of course, it is entirely safe to use CBD along with medications.
Perhaps the most important thing to know is that CBD needs time to start working. It may help quite quickly if the cause of ED is psychogenic. It may alleviate stress and help you gain a hard erection.
However, it mostly works due to its long-term health benefits. So, one should take CBD oil regularly at a given time to improve erection quality. Moreover, CBD may also help with premature ejaculation, which is often secondary to mood disorders.
So, CBD can make sex life better. Moreover, using CBD is less stressful and does not cause any harm. One can safely use CBD oil for months or even years.
Moreover, there are some enjoyable ways of using CBD, like CBD pens. This can be a recreational activity that can even help spice up your life and still benefit those living with ED. Of course, again, do not vape too much, as that may rather cause issues like nausea and spoil the mood.
