I bet when you think of buying a sex toy, you've got pleasure on the mind, right? You want one because it's sexy and sex feels great and those while those are definitely some very valid reasons for buying and using sex toys, there are several others that you should know. I bet ya' didn't know that they can also be good for you, huh. That's right, much the way vegetables are good for you and an apple-a-day keeps the doctor away and all that; sex toys can be just as good for your health—if not better! Why you ask? Well, thanks to the wonderful health benefits that comes from arousal and orgasms.
We all know that nothing feels better than a mind-blowing orgasm, but it turns out that those great sensations are doing wonders for our health because of the hormones that are released into our systems while we're coming. Several studies have confirmed the various health benefits associated with orgasms. Here are some of the findings:
- Men who ejaculate more frequently have a reduced risk of prostate cancer.
- Orgasms relieve headaches in many people.
- Endorphins released during orgasm are known to relieve stress, depression, anxiety and insomnia. (Explains why he'll often roll over and go to sleep right after sex!)
- Oxytocin and DHEA, which are released during orgasm, have been shown to protect against heart disease and cancer.
- People who masturbate regularly have a lower mortality rate!
Now that you know the amazing effects that orgasms can have on your health, I'm going to touch on some reasons why sex toys are a great addition to your sex life. Let's take that last stat for example; having an orgasm while menstruating is good for a gal, but how many women are comfortable having sex with their partners while on their period? Never mind the apprehension about letting things get messy, but then there's also the cramps and discomfort, the mood swings, etc. A sex toy would be the perfect option in this case because it leaves a woman in full control of her orgasm without the interference of any embarrassment of "making a mess" or "freaking him out".
Sex toys are not only going to help a menstruating woman, but just like masturbation, pleasuring yourself with a sex toy allows you to experiment freely and learn how to orgasm more easily. Again, this has much to do with not having to focus on anyone but yourself and your own pleasure, allowing for a free and uninhibited experience. In the end, this will not only make your solo playtime a lot more fun but it will also help your sex life with your partner because you will be able to show him/her how to please you; overall making you a more expressive lover.
There's no denying that sexual satisfaction is an important part of your life and one that should be explored and enjoyed to the fullest, but knowing that something this pleasurable can also be great for your health makes all the more worth your time and energy, doesn't it? Think of that the next time you're about to turn down sex because you're tired or busy. Do it for your health! You’ll be glad you did and so will your partner. *wink*
