Welcome to The Orgasm Hour, where we explore the science, psychology, and personal journeys behind unlocking pleasure—especially for women who struggle with orgasm difficulties.
In this groundbreaking episode, host Dr. Suzanne Mulvehill (clinical sexologist and orgasm researcher) sits down with Dr. Sebastian Marinkolo, a neurophilosopher and author of The Art of the High, to discuss how cannabis can revolutionize sexual experiences, heal trauma, and deepen intimacy.
From scientific insights to personal stories, this conversation dives into:
- How cannabis enhances sensory perception and orgasm intensity
- Why traditional “goal-focused” sex sabotages pleasure
- The role of the endocannabinoid system in sexual health
- Practical tips for using cannabis mindfully

🔑 Key Takeaways:
1. Cannabis as a Tool for Sexual Healing
- 95% of study participants reported improved sexual pleasure with cannabis.
- Women experienced stronger, multi-orgasmic responses due to heightened sensory awareness.
- Cannabis helps quiet the “executive mind”, allowing focus on sensation rather than anxiety or performance pressure.
2. Busting Myths About Cannabis & Sex
- Myth: Cannabis causes erectile dysfunction.
Truth: Dr. Marinkolo’s research found men reported longer stamina and no arousal issues. - Myth: You need to get “stoned” to benefit.
Truth: Microdosing, topical lubes, or suppositories can enhance pleasure without psychoactive effects.
3. The Mindset Shift: Pleasure > Orgasm
- “The goal is connection, not climax.” Obsessing over orgasm creates pressure that inhibits pleasure.
- Cannabis helps users stay present, deepening intimacy with partners or during solo play.
4. Trauma, Memory, and the Body
- Cannabis can unlock repressed memories (like Dr. Suzanne’s experience recalling past abuse), allowing therapeutic processing.
- Enhanced body perception helps women struggling with body image reconnect with pleasure.
5. Practical Tips for Using Cannabis
- Start low, go slow (avoid overconsumption).
- Set & setting matter: Create a safe, relaxed environment.
- Try different forms: Smoking (fast-acting), edibles (longer effects), or infused lubes (localized relief).
Cannabis isn’t a magic bullet—but when used intentionally, it can be a powerful tool for sexual wellness, healing, and profound intimacy. Whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner, the key is mindfulness, communication, and a pleasure-first mindset.
