Whether it's sex, socializing, or skydiving, marijuana's affect on performance
can vary. Pot is in a drug class by itself neither considered a stimulant,
nor a depressant because its effects are in large part determined by
the
expectations of its users. If you anticipate or hope for a mellow,
ride-with-the-tide-go-with-the-
flow result from lighting up, that is probably what you will get. If
a
giggle-fest is your goal, then your toke's may well tickle your fancy.
By the same token, marijuana, alcohol and other drugs, can also amplify
one's pre-existing personality traits: paranoia; fearfulness; gregariousness;
anxiety; aggressiveness; etc. And these factors don't jump out the
window
when you jump into bed.
We cannot make a definitive statement about how pot influences your
sexual relations, or those of anyone else because of the interplay
of these
individual expectations and differences. However, you and your partner
can probably get more specific answers for yourselves by discussing
and
examining marijuana's role in your sex life: is it an innocuous side-bar,
used every now and then (, or is it a third participant on which you
depend?
For some, sex itself is an anxiety-producing proposition, so they use
pot
to relax. Others might use weed with the mission of heightening sensitivity.
Keeping in mind the powerful role that your mind plays in the action
of
pot and other drugs, the calming down and turning on goals can also
be
reached without bringing drugs into the bedroom but drugs are fun!
