Why you should use a sex toy
Using a sex toy can offer a variety of physical, emotional, and relational benefits. Here are some well-supported reasons why someone might choose to use one:
1. Enhanced Pleasure
Sex toys are designed to stimulate erogenous zones in ways that fingers or genitals alone may not.
They can intensify orgasms or help someone reach orgasm if they struggle to do so otherwise.
2. Better Understanding of Your Body
They allow people to explore what feels good in a low-pressure environment.
This self-knowledge can lead to better communication and satisfaction in partnered sex.
3. Support for Solo and Partnered Play
Great for masturbation, which has been shown to reduce stress and improve mood.
Many couples use toys together to add variety, excitement, and intimacy.
4. Helpful for People with Sexual Dysfunction
Some toys are designed specifically to assist with erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia, or low libido.
They can also help those recovering from surgery or dealing with limited mobility.
5. Promotes Sexual Health and Confidence
Regular, safe sexual activity (solo or partnered) can have mental and physical health benefits.
Exploring fantasies and preferences can build self-confidence and reduce shame.
6. No Risk of STIs or Pregnancy (When Used Alone)
Masturbation with a clean toy is a completely safe sexual activity from a health perspective.
