Marijuana for Female Orgasmic Disorder

What Is Female Orgasmic Disorder and What Are Its Symptoms?

Female Orgasmic Disorder (FOD) is a sexual dysfunction characterized by a persistent delay in, infrequency of, or absence of orgasm following sufficient sexual stimulation and arousal. Women with FOD may find it difficult or impossible to achieve orgasm despite engaging in sexual activity that would typically be pleasurable. This can lead to frustration, distress, and negatively affect self-esteem and intimate relationships.

Common symptoms of FOD include:

• Inability to achieve orgasm after sufficient stimulation
• Difficulty in reaching orgasm or prolonged time to climax
• Reduced sexual satisfaction
• Emotional distress related to the inability to experience orgasm

FOD can be caused by various physical, emotional, and psychological factors, including hormonal imbalances, medications, chronic stress, anxiety, or trauma. Traditional treatments for Female Orgasmic Disorder may involve therapy, sexual education, or medications aimed at addressing underlying issues like anxiety or hormonal imbalance. However, many women explore alternative options such as medical marijuana to address their symptoms more holistically.

Can You Get a Medical Marijuana Card for Female Orgasmic Disorder?

Currently the only state that lists Female Orgasmic Disorder as a qualifying condition for medical marijuana is Connecticut. However, in other states such as Oregon and Arkansas, petitions have been filed to list FOD as a qualifying condition.

Some contributing factors to FOD for many women can be anxiety or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Anxiety is listed as a qualifying condition in 7 states including Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and New Jersey. Additionally, PTSD is listed as a qualifying condition in over 30 states.

How to Use Marijuana for Female Orgasmic Disorder

When it comes to using marijuana for Female Orgasmic Disorder, the right method will depend on your personal preferences and how cannabis affects your body. Here are some common ways women might use cannabis to address symptoms of FOD:

• Smoking or Vaping: Inhalation offers fast relief, which may be ideal for women looking for immediate relaxation or increased arousal before sexual activity.
• Edibles: Consuming cannabis through edibles, such as gummies or chocolates, provides a longer-lasting effect but may take time to fully activate, so timing is essential.
• Oils and Tinctures: These can be taken sublingually for quicker absorption or added to food and beverages. Oils and tinctures may offer a balance between fast onset and long-lasting effects.
• Topicals: Cannabis-infused creams or lubricants can be applied directly to intimate areas to potentially increase sensitivity and reduce discomfort during sexual activity.

It’s recommended to consult with a medical marijuana doctor to determine the best method and dosage for your specific symptoms.
