Weed causing ED?

[nomad]

I was with a guy this weekend that asked if I mind if he smoked a joint before play time.  I said go for it if he wanted to.  Who am I to deny someone's killjoy.  We brushed his teeth and took a quick rinse off as a courtesy.  At first, he got hard really fast with just some kissing and mutual groping.  And then, his erection started to soften.  He was high but seemed to be high functioning otherwise.  Despite repeated attempts, he wasn't able to get it up again.  Apologized and only took 1/4 of the fee.  Anyone else have this experience that smokes weed regularly?

Personally I have smoked with sexual partners in the past and it has mostly enhanced my experience with them. Especially after having more experience doing it and my level of comfort and chemistry with the other person.

That being said, the times in the past that it hasn’t worked it out it is definitely more so related to the mental effects of weed. Maybe the person was nervous or anxious already, thought the weed would chill them out but just made them more in their head than they already were. 

I generally don’t smoke with those I don’t know because of these effects, it’s too much of a gamble. When it goes badly, it’s harder to recover (I’d say impossible) when you’re high. When you’re sober, I find it’s much easier to regulate yourself.

The guy was blessed with large and thick🍆 so it was pretty obvious.  He did smoke the ENTIRE joint in less than 10 minutes.  I wonder if it was just too much too fast.  I would have thought it might enhance things since weed opens up your blood vessels a bit as one of its affects.

Weed, back when i smoked/vaped it regularly, was always a sexual enhancer for me. I got hard easier, stayed hard longer, and came more intensely. That's, anecdotally, what i've heard is the experience from almost everyone i've ever known who also partook. Of course, exceptions exist though. Also with weed, for most people it calms and relaxes your anxiety, but for a small portion of people it sends you on an anxiety tail spin (i'm one of those people and it's why i stopped doing it). It's never universal. So it's entirely possible it had the inverse result for him. But it also could be because of a bunch of other reasons.

Maybe with or without his knowledge it was dusted with something.

I find weed an enhancer of sex, in general - especially the more sensual aspects, but I am certainly clear that it's not going to compensate for a lack of attraction. Perhaps the provider was hoping differently.

It's a scientifically unanswerable question because there's very little research into the correlation--there are no corporations funding the research and of course the government has no interest in funding it. Plus any studies would have to look at the difference between the effect of cannabis itself vs. the effect of smoking it.

All that said, the most likely answer seems to be that marijuana USE is unlikely to affect erectile dysfunction--but marijuana OVERUSE probably does.

So all you have to do is figure out whether your provider is "using" weed or "overusing" weed.

I was a big pothead in my teens and sex was the last thing on my mind when I was high. I can't imagine that it would impact desire or an erection. That said, lots of guys like to smoke a joint and fuck, so who knows

If the inability to regain tumescence was genuinely mostly attributable to marijuana use, and this was a habitual rather than isolated occurrence, he’d be poised to voluntarily and repeatedly, perhaps sheepishly, rebate a sizeable portion of his fee. That’s a difficult business model to sustain when the benefits of calibrating consumption around work commitments are so obvious.

THC in small doses and the right type (hybrid) can greatly enhance sex, but too much will kill your boner.

I use small-dose edibles and it enhances my orgasm; a whole joint might kill it.
