Sex Toys: A Powerful Tool for Sexual Wellness and Mental Health
Most of us think of self-care in the form of bubble baths, or a good workout, or perhaps just a journal for mental stimulation. But what if I said that you might even be taking sex toys seriously as part of your health regimen? And yes – sex toys are not sex toys anymore, nor only for "the bedroom." They are liberating, multifunctional tools for sexual wellness as well as mental health. And thanks to open, practical guides such as Bang! : Masturbation for People of All Genders and Abilities by Vic Liu We’re learning how useful these tools are.
Let’s applaud being in favor of sex toys and how they can benefit your health. Whether you’ve always wanted to try one or are an expert, there’s something for you!
Embracing Your Body with Confidence
First things first—Bang! says it isn’t all about having fun with a sex toy (though that’s a big part!). ), it’s about getting to know your body. Many of us are raised to be ashamed of our bodies, or afraid to look for what feels good. Sex toys give you a harmless, powerful means to dissolve those barriers. They open the door to discovery and let you see exactly what you enjoy, what feels good, how to enjoy life on your own terms.
And when you get to know your body, confidence follows! That was like "Hey, I know what I want, and I deserve to feel good." And that kind of power runs through every aspect of life, and makes sex toys an affective – as well as a physical – tool.
Sex Toys as a Roadmap to Sexual Health.
Sexual wellness is a big deal, but so many of us don’t talk about it. Vic Liu’s Bang! insists that everyone, regardless of sex, weight or aptitude, deserves sexual health. And guess what? It’s got sex toys to help crack it open!
Toys can also be used to explore one’s sexual desires in a non-judgmental, non-pressured way. They provide adapted means of accessing enjoyment that otherwise might be difficult for someone with a disability or physical handicap. Toys, the book reminds us, can be tailored or chosen to fit any need so they’re for all. "Inclusiveness, this is all about and we can’t help but support that!"
Boosting Mental Health Through Pleasure
Let’s turn to mental health for a second. Did you know that sex is good for your brain? You get an overdose of mood-boosters like dopamine and oxytocin as a masturbate. Orgasms are great for stress relief, naps and anxiety. Give your brain a break!
Sex toys could even be a more universal form of this experience. So if you’re feeling stressed out, need to get a better nights sleep, or just need a little extra self-care, a sex toy is a quick (and enjoyable!) : way to take a break from your mind. Bang! reminds us that masturbation is not an "extra" or an oxymoron: it’s also part of our self-care regimen and we all benefit from it for our mental health.
Dismantling taboo and Reigniting Joy & Joy.
The best part about Bang! ? is its down-to-earth, wholesome approach to pleasure. It doesn’t matter whether you are female, gay, or disabled, Liu reminds us, there is no shame in using sex toys. But, instead, enjoyment is a human right – ours is indeed! There is nothing "dirty" about having a toy sniff your body. Instead, it’s a celebration of self-love and one way to take care of your relationship with yourself.
And not only are sex toys for sex to play by yourself either! They can make paired play really fun and exciting, a shared activity that can strengthen your bond with other people too. But essentially, they’re instruments of your private delight – which is to say, for self-love as much as it allows.
A Tool for Empowerment
Sex toys make the consumer master of the pleasure. Either the vibrator that’s right for your mood, a stroker that you can programmed to stimulate you specifically, or a toy that’s easy to grip – you can do anything to feel good. This ownership and freedom can not only reside in the bedroom. It’s time to feel comfortable in your own skin, know what you enjoy and master your sexual health so you have more confidence and happiness in your life.
Sex toys are about so much more than sex. They’re about your body, your mind, and your sexual health as best you can. Vic Liu’s Bang! is a safe, non-discriminatory map of this new world that reminds us that it’s up to us how to enjoy pleasure, no matter what shape your body may be. Let’s forget the shitty, put down that vibrator and embrace sexual health as a happy self-care practice everyday! You deserve it.
As sex toys are now increasingly deemed healthy, let’s all be cheerleaders for pleasure (and everything it means! And so why not kick off your own sex and mental wellness with the perfect toy right now?
