Hello, my name is Ollie and I represent esmale.com. We are one of the biggest online stores selling gay sex toys sexy wear, fetish gear and lots of essentials. On our sister store you can also find a huge collection of the best poppers UK. Having worked in the industry for many years I have become aware of some great benefits self-pleasure and adult fun can have on stress and other elements of well-being other than sexual satisfaction. Being of the sharing kind, I thought I’d put some of these benefits in one place for you, so here goes.

Stress Relief

Before we delve into the advantages of using adult tools, I would like to stress that for myself and many others not many things can relieve stress as well as personal contact, connecting with people and the occasional hook-up. The reality, however, is that this is not always available and not what is always wanted. To be honest, sometimes it is easier to get a tool from your anal toys for men collection and have some fun.

Back to the stress relief, it has been well-documented that self-pleasure and listening to your body in that way releases oxytocin and endorphins. These are both hormones that contribute to the feel-good factor. In addition, they also encourage feeling relaxed and satisfied. If that is not enough, it also decreases the levels of cortisol and adrenaline in your body. Both of these are believed to have a positive influence on anxiety. Authority websites like Healthline and the online doctor section of the Lloyds Pharmacy site are full of information about this. Getting your stress levels down by having some adult fun – sounds like a winner.

The good stuff!

Talking about stress and anxiety might not be the best way to promote the use of self-love via adult tools, and let’s be honest, this is what I am trying to do here. I want to get you on the train of self-exploration with items from (ideally) our store. The best way would be to tell you how amazing some of our sex toys are and how much better sex can be with good lube or a bottle of Liquid Gold. Well, the above are all true. It does not matter if you like your manhood to get a treat, give your behind a bit of loving or fulfil a fetish that makes you weak at the knees. All these things can be done with products from our online store.

Personally, I have a wide variety of play that will de-stress me after a mad day at the office or a confrontation with someone. My favourite one is in the bath with a prostate massager, and you can make up the rest.

Getting out of my own head can also be achieved with the use of a Fleshjack masturbator or various other toys. But I do have another thing that de-stresses me – this has no scientific backing, but it just feels good. I love dancing around my room in a sexy pair of gay underwear. It just releases so much tension and I am, at least at the moment, not confident enough to do this in a club, so my room is a safe haven where I feel sexy and can dance like there is no tomorrow. I love it!

What is your flavour?

Now that you know my way of de-stressing adult style, the question is, what is yours? We all have very different bodies with individual pleasure points. Through trial and error, you will find your own sweet spot. It all starts in your head – most people have an idea or an affinity with a certain element of adult play. Listen to what you think you might enjoy and go from there. Start at the beginner level and develop this till you have found the point of maximum satisfaction.

The main aim is that in the end, when you have found your thing, you will be armed with an additional arrow in your bow to combat stress. The extra benefit will be that it is thoroughly enjoyable and you will also get to know your body and desires better. A total win-win.
