1.5 Cannabis
Hedonists have known for millennia that sex is great when you’re stoned.
When it comes to full body orgasms, cannabis’ power to increase sensory perception, induce states of deep relaxation, reduce anxiety, and enable users to imagine vivid fantasies and maintain concentration on them for a long time, all contribute to it being an incredibly powerful learning tool and an amazing Pleasure enhancer.
The Guide was not developed to be a promotional tool for cannabis use, but the fact of the matter is that experiencing a full body orgasm for the first time, is significantly easier with cannabis than it is without it. And for most people, full body and energy orgasm sessions with cannabis are more pleasurable, more varied, and last longer.
Please do not worry if you cannot access cannabis where you live, or if you cannot or do not want to take cannabis for any reason – all the techniques in The Guide work without cannabis, they will just require a deeper level of concentration and more practice. If you learn using cannabis, you may not feel the need to use cannabis anymore as you gain experience, or you may prefer using only a very small amount. Or you might want to continue using it as you have been. Do whatever feels right to you.
With the spread of legalisation across the world, cannabis has become much more user friendly and much more consistent in quality, so if you used to associate it with a cheap, low-quality product used by teenagers and students, think again.
High quality cannabis can be found easily nowadays in the form of pre-packaged flower and resin, gummies, chocolates, drinks, pre-filled vape pens and many other types. Dry flower vaporisers and dab pens have eliminated the need to roll joints, and specific strains are available so you can pick and choose the type of effects that you’re looking for. These innovations have made cannabis healthier on the lungs, easier to dose accurately, and almost hassle free.
If you’re planning to try a full body orgasm technique for the first time with cannabis and you’re not a regular cannabis user, please try it a few times at home before your first session, on your own or with your partner. Ideally, masturbate and / or have sex stoned. Start by taking a small amount (e.g. a 2.5mg or 5mg gummy, or 5 puffs on a vape), then increase it when you feel comfortable and want to get more stoned. Practise until you’re confident that you’re not going to have a bad experience on cannabis, then begin the preparation steps in Section 1.1.
Different strains of cannabis have different effects on the mind and body, and can make for quite different sessions:
- Indica strains in general, give a stronger body high
- Recommended for experiencing your first full body orgasm
- Likely to generate the strongest sexual and energetic sensations in your pelvic region
- Better for full body orgasms with stronger muscular spasms
- “Pair” best with a G-spot toy or prostate toy
- Sativa strains in general, give a stronger head high
- Likely to generate the strongest sexual and energetic sensations in your mind and body
- Better for energy orgasms with varied energetic effects and visuals
- “Pair” best with an anal toy or without any toy
- Hybrid strains will give a mix of effects depending on their heritage and the way they’ve been grown
Other specific strain effects to look out for are the strains which give stronger “trippy” visuals, and the strains which create laughter attacks (orgasms initiated by laughter attacks are possible and are quite something!).
Other common recreational drugs do not seem to have the same ability to induce full body and energy orgasms in the way that cannabis does. There are some reports that document DMT, LSD and magic mushrooms initiating full body orgasms unexpectedly, but typically in high doses. What other recreational drugs can do, is enhance sessions by providing specific effects that cannabis lacks. If you’re an experienced recreational drug user, you’ll know what these effects are and what you like. There shouldn’t be any additional risk beyond that of your normal “activities”, so have fun experimenting…
