Mental Health Benefits Of Using Sex Toys
Recently, I had an opportunity to contribute to an informative article about the mental health benefits of using sex toys. I believe that being open and willing to explore one’s sexual pleasure is healthy and enhances our sense of emotional and mental well being.
Sex toys enable people to take ownership of their sexual pleasure which in turn creates higher confidence and lowers feelings of shame. Sex toys provide a safe way to gratify one’s sexual curiosity and also open up previously unknown channels of pleasure and enjoyment.
I think this topic is even more relevant in this time of quarantine and social isolation- where singles are unable to explore new sexual relationships and couples are struggling with sexual boredom and monotony. Sex toys can alleviate sexual boredom and bring excitement and novelty back into your sexual relationship whether that is with yourself or your partner.
Here is a link to the article, if you are interested in learning more about how sex toys not only enhance sexual pleasure but also your mental health:
