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.

Cracking the Code: Scientists Reveal Telltale Signs of a Fake Orgasm

Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have conducted a study analyzing recordings of 2,239 sexual encounters to determine signs of faked orgasms. The study found that excessive moaning and higher volume are indicators of faking it, while variation in pitch and unexpected sounds suggest a genuine orgasm. The researchers also noted that men are generally less vocal, with very few vocalizations described as screams. The study raises questions about the prevalence of faked orgasms, with up to 80% of women and a third of men admitting to faking it. Additionally, a UK surgeon on TikTok suggests that drinking coffee before sex can enhance orgasms by improving blood flow.

Orgasms lead to better sleep, study shows.

A recent study found that only partnered sexual activity with orgasm was associated with improved sleep quality and less time to fall asleep. The study examined the effects of sexual activity, including partnered sex and masturbation (with or without orgasm), on sleep latency and quality. The research was conducted through a 14-day diary and included a questionnaire on demographic characteristics, mental health or sleep disorders, sexual dysfunction, medication, and alcohol or caffeine consumption. The study suggests that sexual activity may have a positive impact on sleep quality.
