Finding yourself in a sexual rut or realizing what used to turn you on no longer cuts it can feel like hitting a dead end in the world's least satisfying labyrinth. You don't know where to turn, and even if you have a long-term partner, you still feel alone. Heck, you may not even be comfortable admitting to yourself that there's a problem. But when you view a shift in sexual satisfaction as an opportunity for self-exploration, you empower yourself. No matter what's different in your life (maybe you just gave birth, are going through menopause, or survived sexual assault), you're not navigating this uncharted territory alone. In fact, others have been there before their journeys, coupled with expert insight, can help you learn to not just survive but thrive amid these changes. Learn to navigate any brave new world.
Satisfaction Shift
Trying a Sex Toy for the First Time
LIKE SEX AND THE CITY'S CHARLOTTE, I discovered sex toys reluctantly. Growing up in a strict household, sensual self-exploration wasn't discussed, much less encouraged. I was content to keep my hands still until my sophomore year of college when a tragic game of Never Have I Ever revealed to a group of close friends that I'd never masturbated. (I was the only one). Back then, it had been a point of pride something I didn't need to do because my sex life was already satisfying (it wasn't).
