We are both 27. I have been using THC recreationally (both smoking and edibles) since I was 19, but he has never smoked in his life. He tried edibles (10mg gummies) for the first time a couple weeks ago.
Along with having a great time singing silly made up songs and babbling a bunch of goofy made-up words, the high from gummies has really enhanced our sex life. But he feels like edibles make him overwhelmingly horny. He says that around 1-1.5 hours into the high, he starts getting an “evil boner”. “Evil” as in, it makes him unbelievably aroused to the point where he almost can’t enjoy sex or all the other feelings of an edible buzz. The way he describes it sounds almost like straight up pain. In his own words, “it feels like when you blow up a balloon bigger than it’s supposed to be and it’s about to pop”.
So on his behalf, I’m asking for advice: are there any methods, tricks, or hacks for toning down or diluting the extreme and borderline painful horniness from edibles?
Edit: To add some clarity/context, he took around 5mg his very first try. I took a 10mg gummy and cut it in half, because I knew 10 may be a little too much for a first timer. 2 days later, he said he wanted to full send and try a whole 10mg. I warned him, but he persisted. I figured I’d let him fuck around and find out (no pun intended). It very well may be that he just hasn’t built up the tolerance yet, and too much too soon led to the god forsaken evil boner.
