Sex toys may have other health benefits, not just sexual.

You must have heard it before, “Sex toys are great for awakening or increasing your libido… you’re going to be soo hungry for sex!”

Err, let's take a quick moment to erase that from your memory because that is just a myth. Sex toys may improve many aspects of our life such as mental and physical well-being. With September 4 being Sexual Health Awareness Day, it’s important we can educate ourselves on how sex toys can help us, not just sexually.

Samantha Evans was formerly a nurse and is co-founder and managing director of a sex toy company. She says an increasing number of customers are looking for products to help with specific health conditions:

"Sex toys can be helpful in the treatment of menopausal symptoms such as vaginal atrophy; vulval/vaginal pain and tightness (due to vaginismus), vulvodynia, lichen sclerosis, gynae cancer treatments and surgical interventions; neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis; lack of arousal, and low libido."

Sex toys, especially slim internal vibrators with plenty of good-quality vaginal lubricants can help to improve blood flow and menopausal symptoms. Furthermore, the study showed that sex toys for her improved sleep and overnight sweating for women in their 50s or 60s who recently went through a full transition into menopause.

Research shows that women prefer using slim vaginal vibrators rather than the more clinical dilators that are often prescribed. This can complement other treatments, such as local anesthetic gels, medication and psychological therapies.

With a slim vibrator, you can stretch the tissues of your vagina to make penetration easier and less painful. The vibrations increase blood flow which is beneficial for healing nerve damage from surgery or injury. Vibrators create different types of sexual stimulation that will be more pleasurable if you struggle with low libido or an inability to orgasm easily.

Sex Toy Means Zero Chances Of STDs

There's no need to be scared. As there is almost zero human intervention in this self-service, you can remain a lot more hygienic than if things were done with someone else present. However, to avoid contracting HPV and other STDs through the use of sex toys like vibrators, make sure that they are regularly sanitised before using them again!

Using A Sex Toy Can Bring You And Your Partner Closer

If your relationship is suffering, then sex toys can help you work through it. According to a study published in the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, using a toy increased intimacy between partners because they were more open with each other about their likes and dislikes than when not having used one before.

Furthermore, if being naked makes you uncomfortable or anxious around your partner, using sex toys will make this easier for both people involved by allowing them time away from direct skin-to-skin contact during intercourse until trust has been built up again.

According to the study, couples who use vibrators report having a higher level of communication than those that do not. This is shown by 49% reporting being able to communicate often with their partner about sex or other topics in comparison with 29%, which shows less openness and communication when using no toys.

The Vibrator Can Be A Solution For Vaginismus

You might have experienced some pain and discomfort during sex, but don't worry—that's because you might be dealing with vaginismus. This condition causes your pelvic floor muscles to tense up when penetration occurs. Vaginismus means there is an involuntary tightening of the vagina that can make intercourse painful.

A vibrator can help reduce the tension and make penetrative intercourse more comfortable for both parties involved in a relationship. Alternatively, vaginal dilators, Kegels and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) are a few others ways to help relax your vaginal muscles and put a halt to the spasms.
