heh thought this was pretty funny, with the huge amounts of people having their say on Colin's latest brainwave on www.perthnow.com.au and probably more than 90% of the posts against it and 48% of the poll (out of 2000+) against it - what does a media website do???

MEN who regularly smoke cannabis may be prematurely stubbing out their sex lives, Australian research shows.

 

Men who smoked pot daily were found to be four times more likely to have trouble reaching orgasm than those who did not inhale, according to the La Trobe University study.

Other daily male cannabis smokers experienced premature ejaculation at nearly three times the rate of non-smokers.

 

Professor Anthony Smith said while the habit often had a significant impact on a man's sex life, the effects were not always something the smokers would consider a "sexual health problem".

"The findings suggest that men are self-medicating with cannabis to delay orgasm," said Prof Smith from the Melbourne-based university's Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society.

 

"While many male smokers experienced sexual problems, they also reported more partners than non-smokers.

 

"Marijuana users were twice as likely to have had two or more sex partners in the previous year than men who didn't smoke cannabis."

 

The study took in more than 8600 people, aged 16 to 64, who were surveyed by telephone as part of the Australian Longitudinal Study of Health and Relationships.

 

Participants were asked whether they had used cannabis in the previous year and, if yes, their frequency.

 

Overall, 8.7 per cent of those surveyed said they had used cannabis in the past year, with twice as many men (11.2 per cent) lighting up compared to women (6.1 per cent).

 

People under the age of 36 were more likely to smoke marijuana than older participants.

 

The research also found women who smoked cannabis daily were more likely to have had two or more sexual partners in the previous year.

 

They were also seven times more likely to have been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection in the past year than non-smokers.

Ya gotta love these pseudo science articles, they're great fiction and always good for a laugh.

I wonder what the findings would have been if they were asking people how many smoked and had anal sex??

No doubt Cannabis would figure horribly in any arse debate.

 

Cmon Western Australians, don't miss this opportunity to have your say and make these fucks look stupid. Stop worrying about the money and protest!!!!!!!! Get downtown and blow a joint in a suit!!!!!!!!!!!!

So it takes longer to reach orgasm when a pot user , it aint premature ejaculation tho , in fact lasting longer is what most women want if those dodgy ads are anything to go by

Yep more crap! I cant believe there are actually people getting paid to do this kind of " work " and produce these very scientific surveys....

It is funny, but fucking pisses me off too. Personally cannabis helps me have a sex life.
