5 reasons why solo sex is good for you

solo sex

Solo sex... In our opinion, there is still too little discussion about it. Because a little self-loving now and then is perfectly normal, even within a relationship. Moreover, it is also very healthy for you. We explain why.

Know your body

By regularly pampering yourself – whether that’s with your hand or with the help of a toy – you know exactly where your sweet spots are. This way, you get to know your body very well. You can tell your partner precisely what you do and don’t like.

It helps against aging

As the years go by, your vagina can become drier and less supple, but if you engage in solo sex, you can positively influence this process. By masturbating, you could stimulate your brain to improve these physical complaints. This leads to better blood circulation in the vaginal walls.

Natural painkiller

Having sex with yourself has its physical benefits. An orgasm works wonders for headaches and menstrual complaints. It reduces stress and can even keep infections at bay. This all has to do with the hormones released when you have an orgasm: oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins. These promote relaxation and feelings of love, happiness, and pleasure.

Sleepy time

Are you having trouble falling asleep at night? Tried everything, but nothing has helped? Start pampering yourself. Believe us, you’ll be in dreamland in no time.

Boost for your ego

It’s not called self-loving for nothing. This way of paying attention to yourself is a huge boost for your self-confidence. You develop more love for your body, you feel better in your skin, and this confidence shows during sex with your partner. You don’t feel ashamed of your body and you take the initiative more quickly.
