Solitary Transcendence

Romanticized in literature, movies and TV, sex always seems to center on couples. Yet for those who do not currently have a spouse, significant other or romantic infatuation, the unfulfillment of this innate desire can be disconcerting and depressing. However, it shouldn’t be. Sex is not just about couples—in fact, it never has been. Not only is masturbating healthy, but scientifically, our bodies’ endocannabinoid system has a unique partnership with masturbation, and realistically, the cannabis community agrees that cannabis has advantageous affects on the human body while enjoying the masturbatory experience.

“Multiple studies have shown that masturbation reduces stress, relieves tension, improves sleep, increases concentration, elevates moods and alleviates pain.”

Engaging the Masturbatory Experience

More people masturbate every day than those who have sexual intercourse. It is as natural as breathing. Fortunately, many of the age-old denunciations and inhibitions have fallen by the wayside, but even for more reasoning minds, masturbation is still the stuff of jokes and derision. It shouldn’t be—it should be celebrated and encouraged as it provides very real health benefits for both men and women.

Multiple studies have suggested that masturbation reduces stress, relieves tension, improves sleep, increases concentration, elevates moods and alleviates pain. Although sexual intercourse can provide these same benefits, masturbation provides these benefits without the fear of unwanted pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and the myriad physical and emotional entanglements involving copulatory sex.

A study published in the Journal of Sex Education and Therapy that compared women who masturbated to those who did not, found “that masturbators had significantly more orgasms, greater sexual desire, higher self-esteem and greater marital and sexual satisfaction and required less time to sexual arousal.”

After skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that “high ejaculation frequency was related to decreased risk of total prostate cancer” with subsequent studies reporting that men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month had a 33 percent lower risk of prostate cancer.

Studies Don’t Lie

If an orgasm a day can keep the doctor away, let’s look at how cannabis can make this most healthy and satisfying pastime into a transcendental experience. Masturbation and cannabis are very individualistic pleasures. Each person knows how to please themselves best, as well as how cannabis stimulates their senses. Combining the two and going at your own speed will synchronize your desires with your masturbatory experience, as the cannabinoids in cannabis interact with your body’s neural networks. It is this unique but biologically ancient interaction that makes cannabis a stimulating and intoxicating mixture with profound sensory consequences.

There are a handful of studies that identify the connection between enhanced sexual pleasure during intercourse when consuming cannabis. A recent study, which was published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine in November 2017, investigated the endocannabinoid levels in healthy male and female subjects before and after masturbation. Researchers found that masturbation led to an increase in levels of endocannabinoids 2-arachidonoylglycerol (referred to as 2-AG). “Our data indicate that the endocannabinoid 2-AG is involved in the human sexual response cycle and we hypothesize that 2-AG release plays a role in the rewarding consequences of sexual arousal and orgasm,” the study concluded. In summary, this study provides evidence that endocannabinoids play an important role in the sexual response cycle. Future studies could develop this belief and may one day decipher how consuming cannabis while masturbating can further heighten pleasure.

Fusing Cannabis and Personal Pleasure

From eyes-closed, mind-expanding hallucinations to body arousing stimuli, cannabis has profound sensory capacities. Feeling it flow through your body as you begin stimulation is extraordinary. Music has always been enhanced with cannabis and coupled with masturbation, the experience can reach a crescendo of unbelievable proportions. The intensity of pleasures achieved watching pornography while masturbating is legendary. Adding cannabis allows you to experience the passions, pleasures and sensuality of those you are watching.

Depending on your mood, you can choose to experience the rapid onset of inhaled cannabis or the more leisurely onset of edibles. Although relatively short in duration, the intensity produced through dabbing is not for the faint-of-heart or for those with weak hearts.

Cannabis creates a most profound masturbatory journey, but the destination is the ultimate goal. Enhanced by cannabis’ legendary physiological and mental effects, the moment of orgasm cannot be communicated through mere words. Extending to the limits of your bodily senses for what may seem a climax with no end, it is an experience that will remain with you long after your body returns to its normative and now thoroughly refreshed and healthy state.
