Libido booster? Pot may make men impotent
Toronto: Marijuana is often touted as a libido booster, but a new study has claimed that heavy use of cannabis could actually lead to sexual dysfunction among male smokers.
There have been contradictory findings on the research on sexual health and marijuana use. But a review of some of the major studies on the topic found that pot smoking may actually dampen men’s libido.
The research by a team from the University of Ottawa and Queen’s University in Canada found that erectile dysfunction was twice as common in marijuana users.
“It’s a strong message to our younger generations and younger men,” study researcher Rany Shamloul told LiveScience. Scientists first studied the co-relation between marijuana and sex in 1970s and found that cannabis ups sexual desire, and has an effect similar to love drug.
