CBD, cannabidiol, is number one, a vasodilator.

Number two, it's anti-inflammatory.

Number three, this is where it gets interesting, in diabetics,

who have peripheral neuropathy, CBD cream has been shown to increase nerve sensitivity.

Now, clitoral nerves are not foot nerves.

However, nerves are nerves.

And I will tell you anecdotally that women who use CBD oil on their clitoris appear

to have an enhancement of their ability to have an orgasm.

Again, rubbing it in for a long time helps.

A lot of this might be placebo.

We don't know.

This is a data-free zone.

But whenever I recommend something that we don't have data, at a minimum, I wanna recommend something that is not gonna be harmful.

And we know that this is not gonna be harmful with the information that we do have because CBD is used in large amounts all over the body.

Not the same as using systemic cannabis.

That's a whole nother discussion.

A lot of women will use that for orgasm too.

And without getting into the biology and the science, a lot of that is about disinhibition.

It's working more in the brain in terms of maybe helping with general aches and pains, maybe just waking up your neurotransmitters.

We don't know.
