One widely accepted belief about marijuana use and a person’s sex life might not be true, according to Stanford University School of Medicine researchers. It’s been said for decades that smoking marijuana impairs sexual performance or reduces people’s sex drive. According to a Stanford research team, the opposite might actually be true.
“Frequent marijuana use doesn’t seem to impair sexual motivation or performance. If anything, it’s associated with increased coital frequency,” Michael Eisenberg, senior author of the study, said, according to Huffington Post.
The research was published Friday in Journal of Sexual Medicine. It claims that people who use marijuana have approximately 20 percent more sex than people who do not use marijuana.
