Sex toys: benefits beyond pleasure
Sex toys, a gadget that once existed silently in the dark, have now entered thousands of homes and have become an indispensable part of sexual health. People’s perception of sexual health is changing dramatically, the use of sex toys is increasing, and the shame associated with it is gradually disappearing. According to a market study, by 2022, the number of adults over the age of 18 in the United States who use or have used sex toys will be close to 163 million. Compared to 86 million in 2017, this number is undoubtedly a staggering increase.

The use of sex toys is not only for the pursuit of physical pleasure, but is also closely linked to our mental health.

Not only can they help improve male sexual dysfunction and anhedonia, but they are also linked to improved sexual function and desire. Additionally, vibrators can help relieve pelvic floor dysfunction and improve issues such as constipation or urinary leakage.
