If you were looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for yourself, how about a nice toy? Sex toy that is. Self-pleasuring, or masturbation, is something that was once taboo, but that’s changing thanks to sex positive messaging and a whole host of advanced products that have become available over the years. And the fun thing about those toys is you can use them alone or to heat up the bedroom with a partner.
In case you need a crash course on the benefits of masturbation, your body releases endorphins, which lift your mood, improve sleep and reduce stress. If you’re adding to your toy collection or starting from scratch, we have a few suggestions to help you live your best sex life. These are mostly Black-owned, too!
