What Exactly is CBD?

CBD is a cannabinoid that is found in cannabis. It provides a lot of the same benefits as THC but without any of the psychoactive effects. CBD is just one of many, many cannabinoids and it provides benefits such as:
- Relief of general soreness or discomfort
- Help relaxing after a long day
- Providing better and more rest
- Making emotional regulation a bit easier
- Restoration of mobility
There are a lot of other things that CBD can help with, but those five are the biggest ones that people seek it out for. There are a lot of different ways that people can ingest CBD with tinctures being one of the most commonly used ones.
Some people prefer to use gummies, soft gels, or even topicals to help them out with what ails them. If you know where to look for it, you can even get CBD lubricants for when it’s time to test the mattress,

So, how could CBD potentially help with your sex life on either of those fronts? Well, there are a lot of ways that people claim that it helps them, but why? Let’s look at a few of the top reasons why people seem to feel that it helps.
More relaxed during the session
-
- Relaxation is key during sex. The more relaxed you are, the more fluid you’ll be able to be. Relaxation is also imperative for ensuring that you’re able to climax.
Less soreness in the body
-
- Sex is a type of exercise in a lot of ways. Of course, not as much as running, for instance. Sex is more of a yogic exercise, and because of that, you need to use your muscles. Sore muscles can mean less stamina, and that’s not good for anyone.
Increased arousal and more lubrication in people with vaginas
-
- Some people have a hard time getting aroused for sex. CBD can help people with vaginas become more aroused and produce more lubricant.
Help with painful sex
-
- Some people, especially those with vaginas, have issues with painful intercourse. CBD can help alleviate that to some degree, making sex better and more fun for them.
Increase erection time
-
- Some people with penises have a hard time keeping it up. It’s just something that happens, the circulation isn’t always there. Some people with penises notice that the blood flow to their member is improved after the use of CBD.
It appears that there are a lot of ways that CBD can improve your sex life and make the session a lot more fun for the both of you. That’s a good thing to know for those of us that want to bring some CBD into the bedroom.
Why are Tinctures Good?
Tinctures are one of the best ways to ingest your CBD for a number of reasons. In fact, it’s easily one of the most popular ways to take CBD. You might be wondering what exactly gives them an edge over other ways to ingest it.
The best and easiest thing to point out here is the purity of tinctures. When you ingest a CBD product you know that you’re ingesting the CBD, whatever other cannabinoids and terpenes are in the mix, and either a small amount of very high-proof alcohol or some glycerine, depending on the company you got the tincture from.
There’s nothing else in a tincture. That’s why so many people like them. When you get CBD gummies you also have some sugar and other things in them, the same can be said about soft gels. Tinctures provide a cleaner experience without any additives.
It’s also a lot easier to properly dose tinctures than other CBD products simply because you just have to pull some of the liquid into the dropper cap and then squeeze it out under your tongue. That means that you’re fully in control of your dose.
It might be an insignificant difference, but there is a small level of variance in the dosage of other products. It’s to the point that some people would consider it nitpicky to even point out, but regardless of that, the difference is there.
For example, if a pack of CBD gummies is labeled as 10 mg per gummy, odds are one is 9.8 mg and another is 10.2 mg. It’s a really small difference, but for those of us that are concerned with precision, it makes a lot of difference.
Where to Find Good CBD Products
There is a difference between high-quality and low-quality CBD products, and it does make a difference. This is doubly true if you’re someone who’s concerned with precision dosing your CBD because there are some products on the market that are just… not great.
There are a few telltale signs if a product is going to be high-quality and, for the most part, you can see these signs right on the company’s website. Trust us, companies that have high-quality CBD products want you to know. You should look for:
- Laboratory testing of CBD to ensure quality
- Stringent quality control
- Domestically grown hemp
- Domestically extracted CBD and made products
Companies that check all of these boxes heavily advertise it, so you’ll know for sure if a company does or doesn’t do this. Some companies even go so far as to test their products at all points of production.
That means sending the hemp plants off for testing as well as the CBD distillate, and the final product. Some companies really do take a lot of care to make sure that they can provide their customers with the highest quality CBD experience that they possibly can.
Other companies are much more concerned with separating you from your money and don’t care about the kind of experience that you have. These kinds of companies will happily sell you impure products that will give you a lesser experience than companies that are on top of their game.
Some companies even go so far as to outsource the growth of their hemp to other countries for pennies on the dollar. While sometimes good hemp can come from other countries, generally you’re not getting the kind of hemp that’s really great for ingesting from companies that do this practice.
If a company is outsourcing the growth of their hemp to China, for example, all they want to do is save money on their overhead so that their bottom line can be as bloated as possible.
That’s good for their wallets and for people that don’t care about the quality of their CBD, but people that want to make sure that they’re having a very clean CBD experience and getting the full benefit of this amazing cannabinoid don’t get much out of this exchange at all.
