Female Sexual Arousal and Endocannabinoid Levels

The UBC Sexual Psychophysiology and Neuroendocrinology Laboratory in the Department of Psychology at the University of British Columbia is seeking medically healthy adult women for a study on the physiology of female sexual arousal. This research is a pilot study and the purpose is to investigate whether sexual arousal in women is accompanied by changes in levels of endocannabinoids (substances within the body which stimulate cannabinoid receptors). If so, the findings would suggest that endocannabinoids may play a role in sexual arousal in women and would have implications for the understanding of female sexual functioning and the treatment of female sexual difficulties.

If you are a woman between the ages of 19-45 who is:
• in good health (no history of chronic medical illnesses and no indications of current acute infections);
• not experiencing any sexual difficulties;
• not taking any prescribed medications (other than oral contraceptives);
• who has not taken any illicit substances, including cannabis, in the last month; and
• who is not pregnant or currently breastfeeding
and are interested in hearing more about the study, please call the UBC Sexual Psychophysiology and Neuroendocrinology Laboratory at 604-822-2952.

All enquiries are confidential and a $50.00 honourarium will be provided.
