"This is awesome as there's no better time to try something new. This is a great opportunity to increase your self-pleasure practice and get in close touch with how arousal and desire work in your body. Self-pleasure followed by an orgasm releases dopamine to reduce the stress hormone-cortisol. The right toy will give you the right results. Find a toy that turns you on and feels like a good fit"
