Benefits of sex

At John Thomas Toys we pride ourselves on our quality platinum silicone dongs, dildos, butt plugs and anal stretchers. They are all made using the finest medical grade platinum silicone materials. Consequently, they are body safe, non-porous, stain resistant, hypoallergenic and highly durable.

Men and women use our sex toys regularly either alone during some solo time for masturbation, or with their sexual partner. Our adult toys are great if used by hand, alternatively, being so adaptable, they can be used with a compatible harness. Our adult toys are both vac-u-lock as well as O-Ring compatible.

If you do not wish to mount the sex toy on a harness or use it handheld, then another great way to get the benefits of using a sex toy is by introducing a compatible sex machine into the proceedings! Sex machines do not get tired and want to fall asleep half way through your sexual play time.

Irrespective of how you get the most from your platinum silicone dong of choice, it is worth noting that regular use of a sex toy for the purpose of sexual arousal and orgasm is great for your health.

In this article we are initially going to look at some of the ways in which women are liable to benefit from self pleasure or orgasm in general with their favourite large silicone dong or other platinum silicone dildo.

The first way in which women may potentially benefit from reaching their sexual climax with a platinum silicone dong or large silicone dildo, is that it is liable to boost their immune system. Evidence from medical professionals supports the belief that women who have regular sex - either with their partner or through the use of adult toys or sex toys are more likely to be healthier. This is in comparison to other women who have less sex or who do not use platinum silicone dongs to pleasure themselves.

Studies have found that women who regularly masturbate with sex toys and reach orgasm (or achieve orgasm with their partner) have more antibodies in their bloodstream. An antibody is a protein made by the blood plasma cells which is the first line of defence against bacterial and viral infections. If that isn’t a strong recommendation to get your adult toy out more often then we don't know what is!

What is staggering, is that some research doesn’t just suggest that immune systems were ever so slightly improved – we are talking over 30% and that is truly significant – especially if you are the type of person who is commonly ill and does not regularly use a sex toy or adult toy for self pleasure.

Another benefit of regular sex with your partner or huge silicone dildo, is that regularly reaching orgasm is potentially going to increase your pain threshold. This is great news because then if the odd accident or injury befalls you, then you will be able to take it more in your stride and not have to turn to painkillers!

Regular orgasms are believed to be a great way to help keep your heart healthy and if doing something which feels amazing is going to make you live longer then it is a no brainer!

For many women it is appealing to them if they feel that they have a sense of control or regularity in regard to their monthly menstrual cycle. Irregular periods can cause anxiety and worry and can have an impact on daily plans. Regular sex and orgasm with a platinum silicone dong or with their partner is believed to be a great way at helping to make periods more regular. In addition, orgasm and sexual penetration has been shown to be an effective means to reduce the effect of menstrual cramps meaning again there is less need to pop pain killers.

Self pleasure with sex toys (2)

Many adults have grown up believing that self pleasure is a sign of weakness. It may be that they have been told by their church, parents or school that masturbation is wrong and immoral or that they must save themselves for when they are married!

Fortunately, we have come a long way in regard to such uptight attitudes. A far greater proportion of adults now feel freedom to masturbate if that is what they wish to do. It may be that they do so in secret and tell no-one, or they may be more open about their play with adult toys or sex toys.

It is my opinion, that men, being more sexually driven than women, are liable to have more likely self pleasured, regardless of what they were told to do! Resisting sexual pleasure when a person is frustrated requires an exceptional amount of discipline.

I think it is more likely that the relaxation of attitudes towards self pleasure are more likely to have benefitted women. It may be that women were always curious to masturbate but for whatever reason felt that it was the wrong thing to do and as a consequence supressed the urge.

Whether we like it or not, or whether we want to accept it or not, we are only human. We have hormones raging around our bodies and we are biologically programmed to want sex. Other motivations of the body include the need to sleep, eat, drink and excrete bodily waste. Over-riding a primal drive is a tough ask.

If we are fortunate enough to have a sexual partner then we are liable to be able to have regular sexual satisfaction. But what if we are single or our partner is away. Are we to grin and bear it despite our pent up sexual feelings?

I believe we have a right to pleasure our own bodies if we choose to do so. I do not think it is something we need to be ashamed of or something for which we can be critisised or chastised for.

Some people who are in relationships find it very difficult explaining to their partner that they have a need or desire to masturbate. It may well be that the other partner does not need to masturbate or perhaps they have less of a libido so the idea of sex toys or large silicone dongs are quite foreign.

Some partners feel hurt, angry or confused if their find out their other half self pleasures. It may be that they feel that if their partner does this then it means they are not pleasing them enough. Sometimes feelings of insecurity and inadequacy are liable to arise.

If a person is in a controlling relationship, it may be that their partner enforces a no self pleasure ban upon them. It is my opinion that no-one has the right to exert such control over you. Unless of course you wish to relinquish this power as you are engaged in a BDSM role play relationship.

If your partner is uncomfortable with you masturbating then this is something which would be helpful if the two of you can sit down and discuss possibly with a counsellor.

Sometimes masturbation is a healthy and positive release. Sometimes our partners do not satisfy us - this is not to say we do not love or care for them. Relaxed attitudes towards self pleasure is a good thing - we do not need to be imprisoned from experiencing a basic human right.

Masturbation for men and women can be very helpful for mental health and wellbeing which is why their is such an impetus on sexual aids such as platinum silicone dongs or large silicone dildos or sex machines such as Sybian for women.

Self pleasure with sex toys (1)

As we approach the end of 2019 we are fortunate to live in a time where attitudes towards sexuality and expression of sex are a lot more liberated and relaxed than ever before. In this article we are going to be talking a little bit about the use of sex toys by men and women and how attitudes to their use has changed.

It is true that there has been evidence found of sex toys potentially being used by even very early man! Sex is such a primal, basic instinct that it is of no great surprise that even our earliest ancestors felt the need to pleasure themselves or others with their own makeshift adult toys.

Whether the use of improvised sex toys by our ancestors was approved of or frowned upon, is something we cannot comment on. However, we do know that over the course of the last 100 years attitudes have changed greatly.

Vibrators were developed in the late 19th Century and originally used as treatment offered by the medical professionals of the time to treat 'hysterical' women. The premise was that if these women achieved sexual release in the form of orgasm via vibrational stimulation, then they would be cured of each and every ailment they were currently afflicted by.

Throughout the 20th century vibrators continued to be used as a medical aid for women but soon became more mainstream in their use. By the middle of the century it was infact quite common place for women to own a form of body massager which they may use to achieve a clitoral orgasm.

Attitudes towards sex were much more relaxed in the years after the 2nd World War in part due to the flower power/free love era of the 1960's and this would have been an era of more sexual experimentation with adult toys or sex toys.

Sex toys have become increasingly sophisticated over the last 50 years. More realistic materials for both men and women to use have made them increasingly more authentic and closer to the real thing - e.g. male masturbators for men which resemble the vaginal cavity.

Throughout the 20th century there was a gradual increase in the ways in which men and women acted and spoke about their sexuality and their desires to self pleasure.

Attitudes to masturbation is actually quite an interesting topic to discuss. A lot of opinions where self pleasure was frowned upon, were liable to have been formed as a consequence of religious ideas.

Chastity belts were a concept dreamt up by the church to prevent women from having sex - presumably outside of marriage. They would also have prevented masturbation indulgencies too - even though large silicone dongs and massive silicone dildos had yet to be invented!

Young adult men were also fitted with makeshift gadgets designed to prevent them from self pleasure - one such item would sound a bell warning parents that their son was touching themselves so they could intervene and no doubt offer an exhaustive lecture of the dangers of sin.

Religion has been and to some degree still is, one of the main forces which has shaped the ways in which people view self pleasure. Many religions state that masturbation is unholy, that it is the path to evil. One such anecdote stated that when a woman is touching her clitoris she is infact ringing the devils doorbell!

These notions sound quite laughable but they have no doubt scared and controlled many sexually frustrated adults in the past.
