Sexual experience under the influence of alcohol and cannabis consumption

Experiencia sexual bajo los efectos del consumo de alcohol y cannabis

Substance use affects different areas of life, including the sexual sphere. Drugs and specifically the use of alcohol and cannabis, can influence sexual experience. However, there has been little research and to date none has been carried out in Spain that compares the effect of alcohol and cannabis consumption in the same people on their sexual experience. Therefore, the objective of the study was to analyze and compare the effect of alcohol and cannabis in the same people on their sexual experience. The sample consisted of 483 people who had ever consumed alcohol and cannabis. Participants answered an online questionnaire about alcohol and cannabis use and sexual experience. The results show that despite the fact that when people consume alcohol, they feel more attractive, they feel more attraction towards other people, they are more extroverted, their desire increases and they have longer sexual relations than when they consume cannabis, people who frequently consume when consume cannabis, they have more sensitivity and they are more sexually satisfied than when they consume alcohol. Regarding the sexual experience, although they prefer not to use drugs when they have sex, people who frequently consume prefer to consume more cannabis than alcohol. Therefore, it is concluded that, although alcohol facilitates the sexual encounter, with cannabis people feel more sexually satisfied.

Resumen

El consumo de sustancias afecta a diferentes ámbitos de la vida, entre los que se encuentra el ámbito sexual. Las drogas, y concretamente el consumo de alcohol y cannabis, pueden influir en la experiencia sexual. Sin embargo, han sido escasas las investigaciones y hasta la fecha ninguna se ha desarrollado en España que compare el efecto del consumo de alcohol y cannabis en las mismas personas sobre su experiencia sexual. Por ello, el objetivo del estudio fue analizar y comparar el efecto del alcohol y del cannabis en las mismas personas sobre su experiencia sexual. La muestra estuvo formada por 483 personas que habían consumido alcohol y cannabis alguna vez. Los participantes respondieron a un cuestionario online sobre consumo de alcohol y cannabis y experiencia sexual. Los resultados muestran que a pesar de que cuando se consume alcohol las personas se sienten más atractivas, sienten más atracción hacia otras personas, son más extravertidas, aumentan su deseo y tienen relaciones sexuales más largas que cuando consumen cannabis, aquellas que consumen con frecuencia cuando consumen cannabis tienen más sensibilidad y están más satisfechas sexualmente que cuando consumen alcohol. En cuanto a la experiencia sexual, aunque prefieren no consumir drogas cuando tienen relaciones sexuales, aquellas que consumen con frecuencia prefieren consumir más cannabis que alcohol. Por tanto, se concluye que, aunque el alcohol facilita el encuentro sexual, con el cannabis las personas se sienten más satisfechas sexualmente.
