Marijuana induced orgasms lately seem all the rage. I’ve come across a bunch of articles on the subject that I’m not going to link to because I find them annoying at best and really annoying and maybe even offensive at worst…
Here’s the thing though: smoking or eating marijuana does actually help me have orgasms and great sex. I know this because I’ve tried. I have a VERY hard time reaching orgasm during sex, and pot helps out a lot. This is not a new idea by any stretch of the imagination.
Now there’s a lubricant called Foria being advertised for women which has THC as an active component. It is currently only available with a prescription for medical marijuana in the state of California, so most of you reading this will not be able to try it out yet. The marketing for this product I find insanely generalized, too soft focused, and aimed at a pretty narrow and seemingly very white audience. Eh? Do we really need to be that neutral/virginal/innocent in talking about sex to sell a product that could help millions of women enjoy it in the first place?
It is important to have products that attend to women’s sexual needs – currently the FDA only approves such medicine for men. Do I think Cannabis is one very good answer to the pervasive and almost epidemic rate of women reporting sexual dysfunction? Absolutely. But why do we have to suffer through ads for a product like this which probably has very therapeutic and even empowering outcome for its users? Ads that are overt, gratuitous, badly articulated and romanticized ideas of what female pleasure is actually like?
I prefer videos such as the “Hysterical Women” series, where women are being given orgasms from under a table while reading. Those orgasms are real, not this incendiary fake ooh and ahh with waves crashing in the background crap. So please “good idea possible natural healers of my clitoral and vaginal functioning”, tone down the virginal sex shit, and let women find their pleasure from your product in fierce, loving, articulate, and dynamic ways.
Sex is awesome. Orgasms rock. We do not, in this year 2014, need to beat around the bush and blush while we claim our bodies for pleasure.
