In a world that often relegates conversations about women’s sexuality to hushed whispers and awkward moments, many of us have grown up in environments where discussing our sensual well-being felt less like an essential conversation and more like a taboo. Yes, popular TV series and films delight in depicting women sharing their sexual escapades as casually as Sunday brunch, yet they leave out the dirty details of what happens in our bedroom as we mature. As women journey into middle age, the realities of our bodies evolve, often complicating our intimate lives - especially during pre/menopause.
As hormonal shifts introduce challenges like lowered libido and vaginal dryness, many women start to find themselves at a crossroads: retreat from intimacy or seize control of their sexual journey with newfound vigor. Today, women in their 40’s and 50’s are stepping boldly into their sensual power, embracing self-care in the form of sexual stimulators -- affectionately dubbed ZIGUs by Tasten Wellness; we believe the pursuit of pleasure is not just a luxury; it’s a vital aspect of maintaining one’s sexual wellness.
The Underestimated Power of the Orgasm
Women often overlook the profound health benefits brought forth by the mighty orgasm. Engaging in sexual pleasure doesn’t merely feel good - it has tangible benefits for mental and physical well-being. It reduces stress, improves mood, and even enhances the body’s resilience and immunity. For those redefining their sexual wellness, stepping into the sexual wellness aisle is an empowering act, inviting you to explore pleasure and reclaim your body’s narrative, irrespective of your past experiences.
It’s What the Doctors Ordered
Dr. Barb DePree, a gynecologist focused on midlfe women’s health, champions the vibrator as a tool for overcoming climax challenges faced in this phase of life. “Orgasm is good for our health,” she confidently asserts, highlighting how fulfillment in the bedroom triggers hormones and neurotransmitters that foster relaxation and a sense of happiness. Given that about two-thirds of women don’t reach orgasm through intercourse alone, a helping hand - figuratively and literally - can make all the difference.
Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a seasoned gynecologist at Yale’s University Cancer Clinic, advocates for keeping the vagina “healthy through regular exercise,” suggesting that a vibrating stimulator can promote blood flow and support the functionality of lubrication glands. After all, it’s a “use it, or lose it” reality when it comes to maintaining sexual vitality.
Reclaiming Your Sexual Prowess
Menopause is often synonymous with a multitude of changes, including diminished libido. The fear of discomfort can deter women from pursuing intimacy, which is unfortunate since vibrators may provide the solution many women need. A 2016 study involving 70 women revealed that two-thirds reported enhanced vaginal lubrication, orgasm, and arousal after using a vibrator consistently for just three months. It’s a reminder that, much like building muscle, sexual response requires practice and attention.
Once women embrace their own journeys into self-pleasure, they’re more likely to connect with partners on a deeper level. The benefits of orgasm extend far beyond the bedroom: improved sleep quality, reduced anxiety, and even boosted immunity can all stem from unlocking the power of one’s own body.
Enhancing Connection with a Partner
Integrating a vibrator into partnered play can lead to astonishing enhancements in sexual satisfaction. A compelling study from 2019 reported that women who included their vibrator during sexual activities with a partner experienced greater gratification compared to those who used it solo. The shift in confidence allows women to express their desires openly, leading to a more fulfilling sexual experience for both parties. When we unleash our inhibitions, we can better harness our sexual power and continue to embrace the joy of self-exploration.
