Adult toys can boost confidence and strengthen relationships, experts say
A Bendigo woman and local sexologist explain how adult toys support better mental health, confidence and intimacy.
Abby Wilson says adult toys have improved her confidence and outlook on life. Sexologist Dr Linda Kirkman agrees they can strengthen relationships.
Adult toys also help build communication between partners. Sex therapist Christine Rafe says pleasure supports mental health, sleep and body confidence.
Wilson hopes younger generations will talk openly about sexual wellness. They should not treat it as taboo.
The experts say these conversations help people understand what is safe and acceptable. Open talk prevents harm.
