Millennials And Sex: Weed Smokers Have Better, More Active Sex Lives

by Alexia LaFata

Before going to college, I'd never smoked weed. I knew people who did, but my friends and I were too angelic and straight-edged to ever be around them, let alone actually try it ourselves.

But when I got to college, my new boyfriend smoked weed, my new friends smoked weed, and every person I came in contact with, befriended, and ended up loving the company of smoked weed. I figured there must be something I was missing about this whole weed thing.

Although I never really got super into it (I tried it a handful of times, and it gave me anxiety approximately every time), everyone (including me) is starting to understand all the good that weed can do: It can be used as a beauty product, reduce nightmares, help with seizures and fight cancer.

And according to the 2015 SKYN® Condoms Millennial Sex Survey, a massive survey conducted by SKYN® Condoms by LifeStyles® in which they asked millennials (18- to- 34-year-olds) a wide variety of questions about their sex lives, it can also improve one's sex life.
