Why A Realistic Vibrator Is A Must Have In Your Bedroom

Vibrators are officially a wellness commodity. Orgasms are tied to all sorts of positive health outcomes, including more restful night’s sleep and pain relief. Orgasms have more benefits than we currently even know, and if most people with clitorises are only having orgasms when their clits are stimulated, it stands to reason that we’re going to turn to realistic vibrators to help out. Here’s why this tool is a must have:

Anorgasmia. If you feel like orgasms always elude you, then you may be experiencing anorgasmia — or simply put, a lack of orgasms. Anorgasmia can be caused my oodles of things, from stress and a history of trauma to reduced nerve response and you or your partners simply not knowing how to help you reach orgasm. Vibrators provide intense stimulation, so if you’ve struggled to reach orgasm (and you want to have one), adding a vibrator to your sexual toolkit can help. A vibrator might help with this, but it’s not as simple as it seems. Depending on what the root cause is, a realistic vibrator might help you reach orgasm. It’s worth a shot, but if it doesn’t help you, that’s okay too.

Healing from Sexual Trauma. Sexual violence isn’t an uncommon experience, and even though we’ve made strides in talking about it, we still don’t talk much about its after-effects. After experiencing sexual trauma, many people experience a range of sexual difficulties, including — but certainly not only — sexual avoidance. Vibrators and other sex toys can be helpful tools if you’re healing from sexual trauma, helping you to regain a sense of control and autonomy over your body. This is just one part of healing from sexual trauma, and I wouldn’t identify it as a starting point (though maybe you would). You deserve to address all of the parts of your healing journey.

Menstrual Cramps. Ibuprofen, heating pads, and epsom salt baths can only take us so far, so it would be pretty awesome if vibrators could help with menstrual cramps. And, thanks to a combination of pelvic floor contractions and endorphins released during orgasm, they can! If you have orgasms with your vibrator, it might help relieve period cramps. If you typically experience cramping or slight pain during or after orgasm, then using a realistic vibrator during your period might make you feel even more uncomfortable.

Headaches: Whether your headaches are caused by your kids, a stressful job, or both, you’re probably in the market for something that can help relieve that annoying pain. You’re probably familiar with the “not tonight dear, I have a headache” trope, but is it actually backwards? Can sex help headaches? Maybe. Some people say that having orgasms from a realistic vibrator relieves their headaches, and you could be one of them.
