Boost Your Low Libido

Dallas Sex Therapist Lauren Jordan hears this all the time from women she works with:

“I would feel guilty if I  used a vibrator for self-stimulation, because I have so little desire – what I do have  should be shared with my partner.” 

This comment reflects a common belief that masturbation takes sexual energy away from your partner, and is therefore not good for your relationship.  Two Indiana University studies just released their findings that totally contradict this belief. 

In the studies, they found that vibrator use is associated with more positive sexual function, and being more proactive about taking care of one’s sexual health.  Sex therapists have been recommending vibrator use to women for years, as a way of learning their bodies and their sexual response, which they can then transfer to their partners.  Of course, vibrators can also be used during sex with your partner to increase stimulation or to add variety.

While some men may feel threatened by the idea of bringing a toy into your sexual encounter, the statistics show that this is changing.  The studies found that 53% of women in the U.S. and 45 % of men ages 18-60 use vibrators in their sexual interaction.   Vibrator use is linked to positive sexual functioning – including experiencing desire and  more easily reaching  orgasm. 

If you know more about your body, and what feels good to you, you will be more likely to want to have sex more often.
