44: PROMOTES HEALTHY SEX DRIVE

For many people, particularly women, the motivation to initiate or accept sexual activity just isn’t there, no matter how hard they try. Low levels of the hormone testosterone, certain medical conditions, and commonly prescribed medications like antidepressants can all interfere with desire for sex.

CBD oil can help balance hormones and clear your mind so you are in the mood for sex. Some people are easily distracted by racing thoughts or shiny objects, and can’t keep focused on initiating and following through on sexual activity. CBD activates serotonin receptors that can keep you focused and excited by sex, and ease anxiety that may be preventing you from getting in the mood. By increasing levels of oxytocin and dopamine, two hormones related to pleasure and bonding, CBD oil can also make sex feel more enjoyable, leading to your seeking it rather than avoiding it. Taking 15–25 milligrams of CBD oil daily is best for increasing your sex drive. You can also mix the CBD oil into a delicious latte that boosts its sensual effects.
