Talk about good vibrations
Source: Sex toys: the health benefits of vibrators
They are far more likely to be found in your bedside drawer than your local surgery, but sex toys can bring more than just benefits in the bedroom; they could boost your health too.
So should GPs stop being shy and recommend pleasure products? Samantha Evans, former nurse and co-founder of ‘luxury sex toy and vibrator shop’ Jo Divine certainly believes so. Challenging stuffy attitudes could change people’s lives for the better.
“I have encountered several doctors including GPs and gynaecologists who will not recommend sex toys because of their own personal views and embarrassment about sex. However, once healthcare professionals learn about sex toys and sexual lubricants and see what products can really help, they often change their mind.”
Samantha says increasingly doctors are seeing vibrators as the way forward for helping people overcome intimate health issues.
In 2015, she was asked to put together a sexual product brochure for the NHSat the request of Kent-based gynaecologist Mr Alex Slack. The document contains suitable sex toys, lubricants and pelvic floor exercisers that can help with a range of gynaecological problems.
But sex toys can also be beneficial for many other illnesses too, Samantha reveals.
“Often people feel their body is being hijacked by their illness such as cancer and being able to enjoy sexual pleasure is something they can take back control of, beyond popping a pill. Using a sex toy is much more fun and has far fewer side effects than medication!”
Here are just some of the reasons it’s worth exploring your local sex shop (or browsing online) to benefit your health:
1. Great sex is good for you
One area sex toys can help with is simply making sex more enjoyable, helping couples discover what turns them on.
“Having great sex can promote health and wellbeing by improving your mood and physically making you feel good. Using a sex toy can spice up a flagging sex life and bring a bit of fun into your life. A sex toy will make you feel great as well as promoting your circulation and the release of the “feel good factors” during an orgasm.”
