CAN MASTURBATING BOOST LIBIDO NATURALLY?

Did you know that 48% of women experience a low libido?* Fluctuations are natural, whether due to hormonal shifts associated with menopause or related to mood or life stressors. But, even though those fluctuations are common, many people still want tools to increase their sexual desire.

It might be counterintuitive, but studies show that masturbating can increase your sex drive, in part due to the stress-relieving chemicals that are released when we orgasm. Better yet, a 2019 study indicated that regularly using a pulsator has massive benefits for sex drive, sensitivity, and satisfaction.

How do sex toys increase your sensitivity?

In the external study, led by certified German sexological bodyworker Mara Stadick, a group of 25 participants explored the effects of self-stimulation with a pulsator toy for at least 15 minutes per day. After four weeks, they reported some exciting results:

  • 95% of participants experienced increased vaginal sensitivity
  • 86% enjoyed partner sex more
  • 77% experienced more pleasure during penetration
  • 68% got turned on more easily
  • 59% wanted sex more often

Long story short, playing with a pulsator can boost both your sexual pleasure and your desire, without meds or a drastic change in routine. It’s a simple and FUN solution.

What makes Pulsators better?

While masturbation of any kind can help with low libido, pulsators have additional, unique benefits. They stimulate the internal clit, which makes for full-bodied arousal. While we often focus on the clitoral glans (the part that’s outside the body), most of the anatomy of the clitoris is actually inside us. The internal structure, made up of the clitoral legs and bulbs, responds to pressure and stroking, which is why our pulsators are such a good match.

And while other thrusting toys have a piston-like in-and-out motion, STRONIC toys have a more fluid motion for focused massage, like the movements of a skilled and attentive partner.

STRONICS might just be the hack for bigger, better orgasms. But even if you’re not focused on orgasms, the study above shows that creating a sensual self-care regimen can have far-reaching benefits for your sex life, solo and partnered.

Why are pulsators the best for menopause?

FUN FACTORY’s patented STRONIC technology uses magnetics to achieve hands-free pulsing and thrusting. The magnetic pull can increase blood flow to the vagina, which can boost pleasure and sensitivity. Additionally, improved blood flow can help maintain healthy vaginal tissues, easing the natural changes experienced during menopause.

STRONIC PETITE is especially well-suited to those in any stage of menopause. Its slimmer, lighter shape make it a great tool for daily massage, getting all of the benefits of the exclusive pulsator line in a low-impact shape.
