What's The Connection Between Pleasure & Your Well-Being? Allow Us To Explain

If we asked you to list all the things that add up to your well-being, we'd probably hear a pretty standard response: lots of kale, planks and squats, a regular bedtime, and the like. While there's no arguing with the power of a green juice or a heavenly savasana, one facet of our well-being is going overlooked: pleasure.

It doesn't matter whether you're in a relationship, single, or *it's complicated*—prioritizing pleasure can transform anyone's health. Pleasure is powerful, and Deia's luxurious sexual wellness devices are designed to bring more of it to your fingertips. Not only are they made with body-safe and ultra-hygienic silicone, but their diverse collection of products also makes pleasure more accessible for all bodies. A new avenue of well-being is waiting to be explored, but what do you need to know about the connection between pleasure and your health? We'll explain:

Pleasure actually contributes to our holistic health, giving us every reason to embrace it more. Especially when it's as easy as Deia's sexual wellness devices. Whether it's The Couple, a two-in-one device designed to spice things up with a partner via internal and external play, or The Arouser for some seriously next-level me time, these devices are about you getting more of what feels good… And is good for you too.

So how can we have more orgasms? (The million-dollar question.) While it's different strokes for different folks, it starts with carving out time for experimenting and exploring your body or your partner's. Many people find that a sexual wellness device amplifies their pleasure to make orgasm more likely. Experience the intense vibratory sensations of The Wand by Deia, or The Feather (a teasing device for activating multiple erogenous zones), and you'll see what we mean.

Research shows that sexual pleasure is just as good for our mental health. When we're getting frisky, our body's nerves send signals to our brain that communicate pleasure (physical pleasure). In response, our brain starts releasing a cocktail of hormones that multiply the pleasure, like oxytocin, endorphins, and dopamine (psychological pleasure). Studies have shown that regular sexual pleasure decreases anxiety6 and increases self-esteem, autonomy, and empathy. Orgasms are also famous for helping improve sleep quality7, which we all know makes or breaks a mood.

With the many benefits of pleasure, we have every reason to get curious and try one of Deia's sexual wellness devices or schedule in some extra time between the sheets. Sexual pleasure isn't just something to prioritize on Valentine's Day or at the start of a relationship or ignore because we're single. When it comes to our well-being, pleasure is just as important as that cycling class or the nourishing meal we've been craving all day. (And did we mention…it's way more fun?)
