The advantages of a healthy sex life are limitless. From improving your relationship to your body and with a partner, to bettering your physical, mental, and emotional well-being, the benefits overall involve much more than just the pleasure you get from an orgasm.
Unfortunately, some still find themselves lacking a satisfying experience in the bedroom, whether it be from difficulty orgasming, disinterest, incongruous sex drives, or physical challenges. However, modern technology has created the perfect solution for increasing the number of positive experiences you have between the sheets: sex toys.
Some remain hesitant to the idea of incorporating a sex toy into the bedroom. For starters, if just saying the term still makes you wince, remove the stigma in your mind and think of them instead as sexual aids, rather than toys. Remember that they are designed to do just that, aid in your experience.
If you’re still unsure, take a look at some of these common concerns to ease your mind and introduce yourself into the idea.

It’s understandable that bringing something new into the bedroom could take away from a personable experience. However, adding a toy in the bedroom has been proven to actually increase your intimacy, not take away from it.

The heightened excitement can increase sex drive and therefore lead to more frequent sex. If you’re concerned about something being intrusive to your experience, consider a smaller toy, such as a finger vibrator. It’s small enough to fit comfortably on your finger, or your partner’s, and yet powerful enough to still give women an increased sensation to your clitoris.
Toys are for people whose partners can’t satisfy them on their own.

Toys are becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages and backgrounds.
According to WebMD, the numbers are said to be even more common than most people think, as some asked to participate declined to discuss their experience. Having a sex aid can actually be more beneficial the older you get. Not only can they help spice up your relationship, but as you age, you can experience decreased blood flow, which is responsible for a man’s erection and both male and female genital sensations. There are toys to help aid you in both situations, such as a penis pump or vaginal pump, that can increase blood flow to the area.
