Ejaculation, also known as cum, jizzing, or shooting your load is a process that involves the urethra, bladder neck, and prostate. The testicles make millions of sperm each day, which are then mixed with whitish fluids in the vas deferens and prostate to create semen.
During orgasms, the body releases hormones like dopamine and oxytocin that boost feelings of pleasure, and help lower cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone. Cannabis enhances these hormones, which makes climax feel even better.
1. It’s more intense
The hormones that are released during orgasms can be extremely intense. This is especially true for men who are experiencing premature ejaculation (PE). PE occurs when a man’s sperm reach the penis faster than his body can process them and get mixed with whitish, protein-rich fluids to be emitted through the urethra. When this mixture is ejected from the penis, it’s known as semen and can be very satisfying for both men and women to see.
When a person is masturbating, the body releases several chemicals including dopamine and oxytocin, which increase positive emotions and make you feel good about yourself. These two hormones also help to lower cortisol levels, which is a stress hormone. In addition to these chemical releases, the pelvic floor muscles in your abdomen contract rhythmically, which is what causes a person to reach orgasm.
Many people, both male and female, say that their orgasms are more intense when they’re high. The reason for this is likely due to the fact that weed increases CB1 receptor activation. This makes endocannabinoids like anandamide rise, which is associated with pleasure in both men and women. Combined with other chemicals released during masturbation, such as oxytocin and dopamine, this can make orgasms feel much more intense. Besides, weed can create the illusion that time is moving slower, which can also make orgasms feel longer and more intense.
2. It’s longer
Men (and people with penises) often believe they have longer orgasms when stoned. This is likely because weed makes time seem to move in slow motion, but it may also be because a pot-induced orgasm feels more intense than your typical one. Some men have difficulty reaching orgasm and this can be a result of a history of masturbation or certain medications that can affect the nervous system. However, it can also be caused by a medical condition or surgery that interferes with sex signals. Regardless of the cause, frequent masturbation can lead to premature ejaculation and limit the pleasure in partnered sex. Some research shows that masturbation releases endogenous cannabinoids like 2-AG that can help reach orgasm during sex. But that doesn’t mean a person can’t orgasm without it.
3. It’s more pleasurable
The pleasure of an orgasm is a combination of many factors. During orgasm, the body releases dopamine and oxytocin, often called “the feel-good hormones” and “the love drug.” These chemicals increase feelings of happiness and also counteract a cortisol, which is known as the stress hormone. These hormones help lower pain receptors, which can be a factor in some sexual dysfunctions.
When you have a great orgasm, the muscles in your penis and pelvic area will tense, and your heart rate may increase. This is often referred to as “climax.” The climax feeling can last a few seconds or longer and is very pleasurable for both men and women. It’s important that both people communicate well during the process to work toward a good orgasm. Many people don’t ejaculate during orgasm, which is sometimes referred to as a “dry orgasm.” Some researchers have found that the experience of an orgasm with no semen volume released is just as pleasurable.
Many people find that sex and masturbation are more pleasurable when high on marijuana or other cannabis products. Some research even shows that medical marijuana can improve the intensity of orgasms and ejaculations. This effect can be a great benefit for those who have problems reaching orgasm during sex, which is usually a result of psychological or medical reasons.
4. It’s more relaxing
Some people have problems reaching orgasm, or even having a regular orgasm. These issues often stem from psychological factors, such as a difficult childhood or restrictive upbringing, or they can be caused by medical and biological conditions, like neurological or cardiovascular disease or surgery involving nerves.
Interestingly, many people experience better orgasms when they’re high on weed because weed enhances sexual pleasure. It could be that THC’s inhibiting effects on the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, which are involved in memory and emotional processing, allows your brain to tune out your worries about performance and just go for it, which can increase pleasure and reduce anxiety.
Men who have trouble with orgasm can also try using a vibrator or other type of sex toy, and they can seek out sex therapy to help them overcome their issues. Sex therapy usually involves a series of sexual activities that help reduce a man’s sense of tension and increase his sense of pleasure, and it can be very effective for people who are having trouble reaching orgasm or experiencing a dry or non-intense orgasm.
Ejaculating is good for the body and mind, and it’s important to do it regularly. However, it’s also important to listen to your body. Twenty-one times a month might not be right for everyone, so it’s important to monitor your reaction to sex and masturbation to decide how often you want to ejaculate.
