Sex Toys and Younger Partners Linked to Softer Menopause Symptoms
A PsyPost study of 150 perimenopausal and postmenopausal participants found that more frequent orgasms, particularly via masturbation with sex toys, are linked to fewer menopausal symptoms and better mental well-being; dating younger partners and being in consensual non-monogamous relationships also correlated with milder symptoms. The results suggest sexual satisfaction and well-being can buffer menopause, but as a correlational study they do not prove causation, and researchers advocate biopsychosocial approaches and more inclusive product design.
