Why Millennial Women Aren’t “Doing It”

In Partnership with Sunday Scaries

When's the last time you said that to a salesperson while buying lingerie?

Heck, when's the last time you needed to buy lingerie for a fun sexual escapade?

According to a study published by the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior it's probably been a hot minute. In this study, researchers found young women today are having less sex than any other generation in 60 years.

That's right.

The Millennial girls who grew up binge watching Sex and the City and giggling while Samantha tried to bone a priest, are not having much sex at all.

In fact, the research here shows our grandmas had more sex in their 20s than we are… Even though they probably waited to have sex until they were married.

What is that about?

Most of society no longer shames us for participating in premarital sex. We are sexually fluid and open. We have Tinder - a hookup is literally one swipe away.

So why does our sex life suck so much?

Why are 50% of millennial-age women dissatisfied with thesex they are having?

The research points to a number of libido busting issues. We are busy. We are obsessed with our career, hate online dating, stress too much, and have a deep fear of becoming emotionally involved with a 'f*ckboy'.

But the research also pointed to something a little darker and more troublesome.

Millions of us haveanxiety and depression. And the numbers just keep rising. Today over 40 million adults are suffering from anxiety. And Millennials, well we are a big chunk of that statistic. Some experts even call us, the most anxious generation of all times.

So I won't tell anyone how they should deal with their anxiety. Or if they should or shouldn't take antidepressants. Only your doctor can tell you that…

What I can say is that antidepressants can really kill your sexual mojo. But beyond antidepressants, it's not really fun to have sex when you're anxious. I mean how exciting could it be, if you are spending every second during sex worrying about all the emails you need to answer?

But there is good news.

Today there are natural ways to relieve anxiety, that don't have the same side effects as pharmaceuticals. You may have even heard about it… It's called CBD. (And if your sex life is nonexistent, keep reading. This could be just as important as any vibrator you have in your nightstand.)

CBD is a cannabinoid (chemical compound) found in the cannabis plant. There are over 100 cannabinoids in the plant. CBD and THC are the 2 predominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid is beneficial in their own unique way.

But CBD is non-psychoactive which means it does not get you high unlike its sister compound THC.

CBD really acts like a “smart" molecule that can bring balance to your body and reduce inflammation, which is why it has so many therapeutic benefits. It can be used for menstrual cramps, anxiety relief, addiction, heart health, skin care, you name it.

In medical settings, it has been used to increase appetite in cancer patients, relieve pain, and treat everything from Parkinson's disease, to diabetes to sleep disorders.

Each one of us has an Endocannabinoid System inside our body, or what we like to call an ECS. The ECS is key in regulating our mood and how our body feels every single day. This system has two receptors: CB1 and CB2. CB2 receptors are found mostly in the immune system, and can reduce inflammation and certain kinds of emotional and physical pain.

Research shows that CB2 is affected in a positive way by CBD. CBD works by indirectly stimulating these same receptors, helping the body heal itself by balancing the endocannabinoid system.

YES! Most CBD that is ethically sourced from hemp (not marijuana) is legally available to anyone in the United States.

What can I say, I have a thing for gummy bears.

Plus, everytime I take any of theSunday Scaries products I feel like my nervous system just got a giant hug. Within minutes you will get that calm alert feeling, without the high. They are 100% safe and THC free.

Currently they have three products, theOG Sunday Scaries Gummies,The Vegan AF Gummies, that have no gelatin, andThe Sunday Scaries Tincture. Each product is made with the highest quality CBD sourced directly from family-owned hemp farms in Colorado. These farms are regulated by the states' Agriculture Departments, which means this CBD is organic and pesticide free.

Every product is also free of gluten, dairy, yeast, egg, soy and peanuts, so you never have to feel bad when getting your zen on.

To further relieve your stress and anxiety they've incorporated vitamins B12 and D3, well known to be effective mood boosters.

So next time you light some candles, slip into your skivvies and blast that Boys to Men, try a little CBD.

And remember CBD isn't just for Sundays.

And a good sex life isn't just for the Samantha Jones. Or your grandma. ;)
