Have you ever felt guilty about sexual pleasure?  Felt like you wanted more sex than normal?  Less?  The truth is that society is filled with a number of ideals about sex, many of which conflict with each other.  It makes for a very diverse cultural landscape, but those societal “norms” can also lead to a feeling of sexual guilt or shame, whether consciously or unconsciously.  In an article by Kinkly, the topic of sexual shame is examined further, but we love the main takeaway: you can change how you feel about your body and your sex life by experimenting with sex toys.

Here’s the, um, rub: using sex toys can promote body confidence, help you find what you like best and establish a greater respect for your body, and improve communication when used with a partner.  We love the sex- and body-positive emphasis on exploration and feel like toys can be great tools to help you in and out of the bedroom.  Give the article a read and then pick from our favorite toys at Penchant to help jump-start your confidence.
