CLINICAL BENEFITS OF PLEASURE PRODUCTS & SEXUAL AIDS
Peer-reviewed research continues to confirm that body-safe sexual devices, like vibrators, are effective tools for both sexual enhancement and therapeutic use (Herbernick at al, 2010; Jannini et al 2012; Rubin et al, 2019; Rullo et al, 2018).
The Clinical Guide on Sexual Devices for Obstetrician Gynaecologists (2019) reports vibrators may be recommended as adjunct therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, painful sex, numerous sexual problems (outlined ahead), as well as for sexual enhancement and pleasure.
Dr Alexandra Dubinskaya, The American Urological Association says, “In our practice, we usually tell our patients to eat healthy, exercise, get enough sleep, and please use your vibrator."
