Why Sex Toy Use Is Good for Your Sexual Health
Research reveals using vibrators during sex may improve erotic function.
In case you were looking for a good reason to buy that new sex toy, studies on both men and women show vibrator use is linked to positive health benefits.
The two Indiana University studies found it's common for adult American men and women to use a vibrator during sexual experiences. In fact, they revealed that vibrator use promotes an overall positive experience of sexual enjoyment, sexual function, and sexual health.
The findings were published in 2009 in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, a leading peer-reviewed journal in the area of urology and sexual health, and were based on nationally representative samples, including 1,047 men and 2,056 women between 18 and 60 years old.
Since negative views around masturbation and unfortunately pleasure persist, it’s a delight to see scientific inquiry help kick misconceptions to the curbside. For those of you seeking new pleasure products to add to your bedside table, popular UK sex toy retailer Sinful offers a rundown of top-selling erotic items for couples.
Sinful Vibrating Love Ring
The Sinful Vibrating Love Ring is an ideal stimulating ring for the penis. It is an excellent accessory for couples who want to spice up their intimate moments, especially during intercourse. For instance, the penis ring’s small bullet vibrator caresses the clitoral area during penetration, while it is worn around the penis.
The base of the device that wraps around the penis is flexible silicone and helps sustain longer-lasting erections. As a result, the couples’ sexual experiences may be more intense or reveal new ways of enjoying pleasure. Don’t feel limited, however. You can also remove the bullet vibrator and use it on other erogenous zones like your nipples.
Lovense Ferri Remote Controlled Panty Vibrator
The Ferri Remote Controlled Panty Vibrator is a wonderful option for long-distance partners or just couples who love to experiment and explore. The magnetic panty vibe connects to the Lovense app via Bluetooth, allowing users to create near-unlimited vibration patterns, enjoy long-distance control, and play remotely in just about any location with Internet access.
The discreet panty vibe can be used in the same room or out to dinner if you are adventurous. Ferri stimulates the clitoris with many surprising intensities and is designed with a degree of cuteness and ergonomics. Thanks to its magnetic clip, the pantry vibe will stay snugly in place no matter how action-packed your intimate encounters may be. The vibrator can also synch to your favorite sexy music.
Fifty Days of Play Erotic Card Game
Perhaps you’d like to break the ice before bringing out the sex toys. If so, a favorite for couples wanting to explore some new thrills is the erotic card game “Fifty Days of Play,” which is inspired by the kinky trilogy “Fifty Shades of Grey.”
This is the perfect card game for couples who would like new and naughty inspiration for their sex life. The set is made up of one dice and 50 small envelopes with five different shades.
Open an envelope in the sex game for steamy instructions and erotic surprises. Each shade of envelope corresponds to a different level of intensity with different choices for the dominant or obedient roles. So whatever your comfort level, there’s something for everyone.
Pleasure is healthy
What the results from the two studies on American men and women revealed is what many therapists and health professionals already knew: sexual pleasure is linked to positive sexual health benefits.
The researchers also shone a light on how common vibrator use is among people during sexual experiences. Hopefully, these erotic play suggestions paired with new sexual knowledge will empower more people to put their pleasure and health first.
