5 Ways Using a Sex Toy Can Help You Beat the Blues This Winter

There are plenty of excellent reasons to make a luxury vibrator a standard part of your personal routine. Vibrators help you get to know your body better and discover a full range of pleasure-giving sensations. If you’re the type who likes to share your toys with your partner every so often, a good vibrator can keep sex exciting and satisfying for both of you.

Vibrators aren’t just good for your physical wellbeing, either. They help promote excellent mental health in a variety of ways, as well, so yours should definitely be part of your plan to keep the winter blues at bay this year. Here’s a closer look at how and why.

1.      You’ll sleep a lot better.

Even the worst problems have a way of looking solvable in the morning and with good reason. A good night’s sleep helps regulate your moods, allows your body to heal, and reboots your brain, so it’s ready for action the following day. However, longing for a good night’s sleep and getting one are two different matters.

Why not skip the sleeping pills in favor of a more natural method that’s much better for you? A romp with your vibrator before bed encourages your body to release calm-inducing hormones like oxytocin and other natural endorphins that help you fall asleep and stay asleep. The better you sleep and the more rested you are, the better equipped you’ll be to take winter by the horns this year.

2.      You’ll feel more body-confident.

If you’re like most people, the winter blahs have a way of eating away at your sense of confidence in your body. You’re more likely to indulge in too many extra cocktails and helpings of your favorite foods. You’re less likely to go the extra mile at the gym (if you make it to the gym at all.) Plus, there’s only so much snow and cold a person can take before they’re just over it. Not exactly a recipe for feeling like your best self!

Getting up close and personal with your favorite sex toys can help with that. Studies show people who masturbate at least once a week feel more connected to their bodies and better about their looks overall than those who don’t. What’s not to love about a body that can produce a sensation as incredible as an orgasm? Plus, sex of any kind (masturbation included) is excellent exercise, so it can help keep those extra winter pounds from adding up too much.

3.      You’ll lower your chances of developing seasonal depression.

The fact that you feel fantastic after having an orgasm that curls your toes isn’t your imagination. The better the orgasm, the bolder the rush of feel-good endorphins you experience as a result. Endorphins are natural mood boosters and pain relievers, so they’re potent ways to fight those winter blue, grey feelings that overtakes so many of us as the days get shorter.

Don’t be afraid to get as vigorous as you like when it comes to your play. The livelier your pleasure sessions happen to be, the higher their fitness value. Exercise is another powerful way to trigger an excellent endorphin rush, so go ahead and make it count.

4.      You’ll strengthen your bond with your partner.

If you’ve never brought your favorite sex toys into the bedroom to share with your partner and need a good reason to take the plunge, the cold months of winter are the perfect excuse. Couples who are in the habit of experimenting together tend to be closer overall and report more significant degrees of satisfaction with their sex lives.

What better way to beat the winter blues that can set in during the colder season than a few naughty play sessions with your beloved? Use waterproof toys to make warm, soothing couple’s bubble baths extra relaxing. Start a pleasure chest and take turns picking out new items to add to it during joint shopping sessions. Use toys to discover and share new sensations. Coming down with a case of the blues will be the furthest thing from your mind.

5.      It’s a great way to treat yourself.

Making it through a long winter in one piece isn’t impossible, but sometimes it’s easier when you treat yourself to the occasional indulgence. Sex toys pack a lot of potential in this department. In the mood for a little shopping therapy? Nix the urge to buy yet another sweater or pair of jeans and add something new, like the Delola, to your nightstand drawer instead.

In desperate need of an all-day pampering session? Start with some super-indulgent skincare and follow up with a long bubble bath complete with some waterproof toy play. Add some candlelight, a glass of wine, and your favorite music, and you’ll be feeling good as new in no time. Try it and see!
