Marijuana and Erectile Dysfunction
There are so many opinions concerning marijuana influence on sex drive and men’s impotence. Some people assure that cannabis is a dangerous drug that can badly affect your sex life, both physically and mentally. Others are convinced that smoking marijuana doesn’t have any severe consequences or side effects.
Where is the truth? Does this drug really cause erectile dysfunction? How can you save your healthy sex life? Is there any useful advice for heavy marijuana users? Let’s find this out.
Facts
Researches have shown that marijuana can damage male sperm. According to the report made by Buffalo University scientists, men who smoke weed have much less seminal fluid than those who don’t use drugs.
Researchers suggest that marijuana is doing something to sperm that these have a lower count and swim way too fast, burning out before reaching the egg. It is known that marijuana contains different chemicals that can affect human physiology. This drug has an impact on tetrahydrocannabinol or THC that can disrupt the way sperm goes.
Men’s sperm has receptors which can be stimulated by THC. Tests have revealed that sperm influenced by smoking marijuana swims in a strange fashion. It is less able to attach to the egg.
More than 20 men who had used cannabis twice a day for at least 5 years in a row participated in the research. Their sperm samples were tested. It turned out that the sperm swam too fast. And this reduced the chances of sperm reaching the ovule.
A permanent use of marijuana can burnout your sperm before it reaches the egg. As the result men’s capability of fertilization might be impossible.
Real Stories
In reality, there are many men who have become fathers even though they have been smoking marijuana for a long period of time. Aaron (42 years old) says, “I enjoy ganja. It has helped me to relax after my hard working days for more than 15 years. I feel great today. I have fathered a child. I don’t have any serious illnesses”.
Of course, Aaron’s story doesn’t happen to every other man.
“I stopped smoking weed because I faced some severe side effects. It affected my lungs, I kept coughing all the time and didn’t enjoy sex until my best friend suggested I should quit. I also know that pot and other cannabis-related drugs can compromise your ability to remember things, focus and shift attention”, Joe (25 years old) says. “Even a small dose of marijuana can impair your ability to recall words you have read 20 minutes earlier”.
In Joe’s case there wasn’t any erectile dysfunction case. His love to sex returned as soon as he quitted smoking pot. As you see marijuana’s affect on sex performance can vary.
Advice
It is unclear whether fertility can recover after you stop taking cannabis. THC can store in human fat for a long period, so if your sex motivation disappears, it might never go back to normal.
Scientists and doctors advise men not to smoke pot. The same advice concerns women because marijuana can affect many systems in the body leading to horrible consequences.
Usually erectile dysfunction happens to heavy cannabis users. Women can experience irregular periods when they smoke marijuana too often. At the same time pot smokers can suffer from dismotivation, ED episodes, absence of sex drive, hormonal changes, aggressiveness and other psyche and body side effects.
Men who like smoking pot might be sexually active, but in bed they can experience fearfulness and anxiety. Marijuana can impair your coordination the way alcohol does. If you don’t want to look “stupid” in front of your woman, don’t smoke weed. Keep in mind that sex requires a lot of coordination and clear mind.
Maybe cannabis won’t influence your sexual relations much. If so, you are a lucky smoker! But what if it does? What if marijuana ruins your sexual life? What if it does affect your reproductive health? Will you continue smoking pot or will you find other ways to relax? It’s all up to your own risk and wisdom! 
If this were true, there wouldn’t be many Rasta babies, would there?
While there may be minor effects to sexual hormones by using marijuana, they are DEFINITELY not significant enough to write an article about. There are hundreds of other things that cause real sexual incompetence, unlike marijuana. This is a perfect example of what stems from biased research.
Ask the right questions; get the right answers. Don’t just eat bullshit people feed you.
The article is true. My husband is smoking weeds. He said he was using it for pain killer but I think his lying to me coz he smoke every single day. I feel so tired longing for his love and affection. After his work he is more excited to see his weeds than his wife and kids. When I tried to fool around with him he always says he is tired. But I still trying my best to please him and in the middle of our making love it he just stop and looks like his having hard time to have Orgy…. makes me feel sad coz he really change when he start smoking weeds. He is always relax and forget about his partner. I hate drugs that ruin people’s live.

Wow! This can be one particular of the most beneficial blogs We have ever arrive across on this subject. Basically Fantastic. I’m also a specialist in this topic so I can understand your hard work. Exotic Girls London, 24 Moreton St, London, SW1V 2PT, 028 2088 0136
I think this article happens to be ‘spot on’. After living with someone & all the above mentioned ‘side effects’. They are all exactly what my partner experiences (20 years a smoker).
The above mentioned a ‘biased’ opinion from the researcher?? Well, maybe because you are a biased smoker?! If you were on the receiving end, of Living with someone that has all of the said side effects,& you put up with the day-to-day mood changes, aggressiveness, too much sleep, no energy & no enthusiasm, and all that coupled with paranoia, jealousy, & then the ‘bedroom issues’ too- maybe your opinion would be different. I’m guessing – Yes!
Thanks to the columnist who shared he’s report/ findings.
It can cause impotence by relaxing the body too much to pump blood and decreasing cardio. Rastas are very adapted because of a long harmony with ganj, and black people on average have greater lung capacity.
Lol I smoked weed for six years and just recently stopped and it has helped my sex drive.and now feel alot better and breathe better much better with out although it was hard ha try it you might get your old life back

I feel this article is not neutral, obviously it has a side it is not impartial and information should not be partial to the opionions of the informant. This is my personal opinion. I have smoked weed for over 15 years and I have three kids and I have had many sexual partners, some users some not I will say it depends on you organism, also your mood, I had the best sex session high and I also had and have problems sometimes to hold an erection. My actual partner don’t smoke and she has no conplaints about our sexual life or else.
