Gynecologist Reveals Safe Household Items for Masturbation

Gynecologist Lauren Streicher has offered guidance on using common household items for safe masturbation, responding to increased interest in sexual self-pleasure.

The safest way to satisfy the need for sex is definitely masturbation.

Amidst rising sales of sex toys, Streicher noted that physical distancing measures have led many to explore masturbation more frequently. She highlighted that while people have always used aids, not everyone can afford or discreetly purchase sex toys. This has prompted a need for accessible alternatives.

People have practically always used aids for this, but some they can find at home because some cannot afford toys, and some do not want to buy them online so that household members do not see the package.

Streicher advised caution, emphasizing that any object inserted vaginally should have no sharp edges. Using a condom over the item can prevent small parts from getting stuck. For electric toothbrushes used as vibrators, she suggested covering them with a cloth to avoid irritating the clitoris.

“

If you are looking for something to put in your vagina, make sure it has no sharp edges and parts. It would not be bad to put a condom on it, if the item has some small parts to prevent them from remaining inside you.

The primary goal, she stressed, is to ensure pleasure does not lead to an emergency room visit. The advice aims to empower individuals to explore their sexuality safely and comfortably using readily available items.

The most important thing is to be safe and that this pleasure does not end up taking you to the emergency room.
