The Other Side of the Vibrator: What You Definitely Didn't Know About Sex Toys

This time we are not talking about material, composition or manufacturer, but about the effects our favorite toys can have – effects many people never think about.

So, with all due seriousness, we present:

TOP 3 sex toys the original article associates with health benefits

- a vibrator,

- vaginal balls,

- a prostate massager.

It is no secret that many objects are now used very differently from what their inventors originally intended. Something similar happened with the vibrator. Historical accounts often describe early mechanical vibrators in the 19th century in connection with physicians treating what was then called “female hysteria.” Over time, the vibrator moved far beyond a medical context and became a widely available pleasure product.

Thanks to the sexual revolution of the 20th century, old ideas about “female hysteria” faded, sex education became more open, and vibrators became ordinary consumer products.

So what is so useful about a vibrator?

Women who already own one may find the question amusing, because this versatile toy has many advantages. For many women, a vibrator can make orgasm easier and more predictable.

And orgasm itself can be associated with pleasant effects such as:

1. - reducing stress,
2. - helping relaxation,
3. - increasing blood flow,
4. - helping some people sleep better and feel less tense,
5. - generally improving mood and well-being.

The list could go on, but you get the idea.

So a vibrator can be both a pleasure tool and a way to explore your own body's responses.

You can choose one here.

Vaginal balls: double pleasure, literally and figuratively

“Double pleasure” first of all because many sets contain two vaginal balls, although there are toys with three, four or even more balls of different sizes.

Many women who regularly use this kind of device say their awareness and sensitivity of the intimate area increases. Foreplay with such a toy can feel more exciting, and some partners enjoy watching the other person play with it.

In short, vaginal balls are an adult toy that can bring variety into sex, reveal new kinds of pleasure and help you explore your body, desires and sensitive areas.

This type of toy is popular with individual women as well as heterosexual and lesbian couples.

What is the training effect of vaginal balls?

Vaginal balls are often associated with pelvic-floor training and Kegel exercises. Pelvic-floor exercises are used to strengthen the muscles that support pelvic organs and can be recommended in certain situations, including after childbirth or for some forms of urinary incontinence.

For many users, the sexual side – increased awareness of pelvic-floor muscles and new sensations – becomes an additional pleasant benefit.

Today vaginal balls and pelvic-floor trainers can be found both in sex shops and in health-related retail. It is nice when caring for your body can also be enjoyable.

Are there sex toys with potential benefits for men?

Yes.

One of the best known is the prostate massager.

If we put embarrassment and prejudice aside, the anus is a sensitive area with many nerve endings. For some men, consensual anal stimulation can create strong sexual sensations. That is one reason prostate massagers are a popular category of sex toy.

What about the medical side of prostate massage?

Prostate massage has had medical uses in some historical and clinical contexts, but it is not a universal treatment and should not replace examination or treatment by a doctor. If a man has pain, urinary symptoms or concerns about prostatitis, medical advice is more appropriate than self-treatment with a toy.

For healthy adults who enjoy it, however, a prostate massager can simply be a way to explore a different kind of sexual stimulation.

So whatever your sexual orientation,

whatever kind of sex you prefer,

whatever toys and roles you like,

there are a few classic toys that combine body exploration with pleasure.

P.S. At Danni we believe toys are first and foremost about pleasure, self-knowledge and making intimate life more varied.

Taking care of your orgasms,
