Sex toys: benefits or harms for relationships?

In recent decades, sex toys have gone from being a taboo topic to a completely ordinary accessory. According to a study conducted in 2022 by the American Kinsey Institute, about 70% of adults in the United States have used sex toys at least once. In Russia, the figure is slightly lower – about 55%, but the upward trend is obvious.

The growth of their popularity is understandable: firstly, it is a way to diversify their intimate life and add new sensations. Secondly, sex toys help you better understand your body, desires, and boundaries. And for couples, it's a great way to build trust and discover new facets of intimacy.

The benefits of sex toys for relationships: What do the studies say?
▪️Improvement of sexual satisfaction
A study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior journal found that couples who use sex toys report higher levels of sexual satisfaction. Why? Because toys help to diversify sex, make it more vivid and intense.

▪️Increase trust and openness
When partners share a desire to try something new, it builds trust. In one survey conducted in 2021, 80% of participants said that using sex toys helped them become more open in their relationships and better understand each other's desires.

▪️Help with sexual dysfunctions
For those who face problems, such as arousal or orgasm, sex toys can be a real salvation. They help to stimulate sensitive areas, which contributes to more vivid sensations and, as a result, an improved quality of sexual life.

▪️Facilitating sexual routine
If a relationship is stagnating, sex toys are a great way to introduce novelty. This does not mean that everything is bad, but rather, it is a way to maintain passion and interest.

Of course, as in any field, there are nuances. But most myths about sex toys are just stereotypes or misunderstandings.
Myth 1: Sex toys are addictive or spoil relationships
No, that's not true. Toys are a tool that helps to diversify sex. They do not replace a partner, but complement an intimate life. It is important to remember that the main thing is communication and trust.
Myth 2: Using toys is a sign of problems in a couple
On the contrary, many couples use them specifically to strengthen their bond and find new ways to enjoy themselves. It's a way of taking care of yourself and each other.
Myth 3: Sex toys can harm your health
If you follow hygiene rules and use high-quality materials (for example, silicone, glass, metal), the risk is minimal. It is important to choose certified products and follow the instructions.

Which sex toys should I choose?

Hygiene: washing and disinfection are the key to health
