3 HEALTH BENEFITS YOU’LL GET FROM USING A VIBRATOR
Forget hiding your best vibrator away, or leaving it to gather dust in the back of a drawer. Regularly using one could bring a host of extra benefits to your health and wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
1. It can help you beat stress
An orgasm can improve your mental health and happiness. “When you climax, you produce hormones called oxytocin and serotonin.” says Annabelle Knight, sex and relationship expert.
“These hormones are known as the ‘feel-good’ hormones because they are linked to happiness. Regular boosts of these hormones through orgasms with a vibrator can contribute towards feeling less stressed and more positive.”
2. A vibrator is good for your heart
Those endorphins do more than just make you feel good – they also help to prevent heart problems by naturally neutralising your stress hormones. Research in Israel found that women who had two orgasms per week were 30% less likely to have heart disease.
3. A vibrator can help you sleep soundly
While your trusty vibrator isn’t something you’d want to cuddle up to for comfort at night, an orgasm before bed can do wonders for shuteye. “Having an orgasm can lead to sounder, better-quality sleep, thanks to the fact that when you climax you produce the sleep-inducing hormone, prolactin,” says Annabelle Knight. “So, theoretically, you should enjoy better and more restful sleep after an orgasm. And, with a good night’s sleep under your belt, you’ll be better equipped to face the day.”
