41. Sex Toys & Your Sexual Health

41. Sex Toys & Your Sexual Health

Author: Sara Tang, Sexologist & Coach December 18, 2021 Duration: 36:22

Can sex toys be good for our sexual - and overall - health?

Many of us regard sex toys as tools of pleasure, but this informative episode will help you to rethink the possibilities of sex toys, and how you're using them.

Sara chats with Dr. Soum Rakshit, co-founder of Mysteryvibe, a brand that aims to solve big topics in sexual health in an accessible way. Mysteryvibe creates FDA-approved medical devices for sexual health, which also do double-duty as sex toys and pleasure products. 

We explore how sex toys can be used to aid with sexual health issues such as scar tissue after childbirth, menstrual pain, painful sex and even premature ejaculation.

Many people are reluctant to see a doctor to seek solutions for common sexual health issues, but are more open to using a sex toy or would happily to receive it as a gift.

We also discuss the benefits of introducing sex toys into your relationship, whether it's to improve orgasms, overcome an obstacle, or simply to assist in opening the conversation about sexual health.

Dr. Soum offers countless suggestions on improving your sexual health, including tips on specific toys to use and how to use them.

Regardless of whether you're looking to overcome issues or enhance your enjoyment in the bedroom, tune into the episode to find out how sex toys can make sexual health easier and more fun.
