When it comes to intimacy, setting the mood is everything. As a certified sexologist and the creator of CannaSexual®, I’ve spent the last decade helping people unlock deeper pleasure through the magic of cannabis. I’ve taught workshops, written articles, and coached countless folks on enhancing connection and sensation in their sex lives. My book, The CBD Solution: Sex, dives deep into the details—but let’s be real, you’re busy, and you want the quick and sexy version. Let’s get into it.

Why Choose Edibles for Intimacy?

People tend to like edibles for sexy times because it can feel like a more full body high, rather than an intense head high like a dab or a bong hit. For those who don’t enjoy inhalation for whatever reason--conspicuousness, sensitive lungs, etc., edibles can feel like a more approachable alternative. Edibles don’t hit instantly, so if you want to weave them into your date night or intimate experience, it’s crucial to plan ahead. Most people feel the effects within 90 minutes to 2 hours, but everyone is different, and various medications can slow digestion (and thus, the onset of effects) even further. It’s a good idea to try out a new edible on your own and see how long it takes you to feel the effects so that when date night rolls around, you can time your adventures with more intentionality.

Make Sparks Fly with Camino Exhilarate

For years, Camino gummies have been a go-to for those who love pairing cannabis with pleasure. Wild Cherry Camino, in particular, has earned a reputation as an “intimacy gummy” for its uplifting, body-warming effects. The Excite formulation has been a favorite for many, helping folks lean into sensual experiences with more ease and playfulness. Now, Camino Exhilarate is here to level up the experience even further. Rolling out in California first (with more states to follow), this new triple cannabinoid blend was crafted for those who want to enhance both relaxation and pleasure in a more holistic way.

The carefully balanced combination of 5MG THC with 5MG each of minor cannabinoids CBC and CBG really sets Exhilarate apart from Camino’s other offerings. For those unfamiliar:

  • CBC: A cannabinoid known for naturally enhancing mood.
  • CBG: Sometimes called the "mother cannabinoid," as it is the precursor to all other cannabinoids in the plant, CBG provides holistic head-to-toe relief.

This thoughtfully crafted blend works together to help augment an enjoyable experience and it’s perfect for intimate moments—whether you’re exploring solo or with a partner.

Here are some of my best practices based on my years of helping people navigate cannabis and intimacy:

  1. Start with a Low Dose: If you’re new to cannabis or edibles, start with one gummy (or even half!) and wait at least 2 hours to see how it affects you before taking more.
  2. Set the Scene: Cannabis enhances sensory experiences, so think about lighting, music, scents, and textures to create the perfect ambiance. Light some candles or incense, put on a stimulating playlist (like the Exhilarate playlist Camino created on Spotify!) and wear something that makes your body feel good.
  3. Hydrate: Keep water nearby to combat dry mouth and stay comfortable throughout the night.
  4. Be Present: The magic of cannabis is in how it allows you to sink fully into the moment, so put distractions (like your phone!) aside and focus on pleasure.

Great sex is about presence, connection, and feeling good in your body—Camino Exhilarate helps you get there. With its balanced blend of THC, CBC, and CBG, this gummy was designed for those who want to relax, spark desire, and heighten sensation.

So next date night (or solo sesh), set the vibe, dose mindfully, and let yourself fully enjoy the ride. Pleasure is your birthright—why not make it even more exhilarating?
