Hi, my name is Todd Baratz. I'm a licensed mental health counselor and a certified sex therapist, and I'm here to answer questions submitted by you, the plusOne community.

The question is, how can sexual wellness tools affect my relationship with my partner?

Using sexual wellness tools can have a variety of different positive impacts for individuals in and out of relationships. So here are three benefits to look out for.

One, an increase in communication Using sexual devices requires open and honest communication between partners. This creates valuable opportunities to discuss preferences, needs, and desires that probably would've gone otherwise unaddressed.

Number two, increased satisfaction. Many individuals will experience a big increase in pleasure and satisfaction when incorporating sexual devices into their intimate encounters. Heightened pleasure is going to translate into a more fulfilling and satisfying sexual experience overall. So more arousal, more pleasure, and more fun.

Three, sexual challenges. Most people are going to experience sexual challenge, and using sexual devices can help bridge the gap.

These tools will provide additional or alternative ways to fulfill each other's needs, contributing to a much more harmonious and enjoyable sexual dynamic.
