Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Studies have shown that marijuana use is associated with increased sexual frequency. Specifically, women who used marijuana daily reported having more sexual encounters on average compared to women who did not use marijuana. This suggests that, contrary to some beliefs, marijuana use does not impair sexual function or lead to a decrease in sexual activity.
