Embracing Sexual Wellness as Integral Self-Care

Instagram trends have transformed Sundays into #SelfcareSunday, a day for personal health and relaxation. Now, it's time to broaden that focus to include sexual health with the introduction of Sexcare Sunday, which recognizes the significant role sexual wellness plays in our overall well-being.

Gynecologist Dr. Jessica Sheperd highlights the multi-dimensional nature of sexual health, noting its influence on physical, emotional, and mental aspects of our lives. She suggests that integrating sexual health into self-care routines is essential for complete wellness.

Sexcare Sunday is about exploring what brings you pleasure and comfort. It could involve choosing the right lubricant, setting a sensual mood with lingerie and candles, selecting a pleasure toy that suits your desires, enjoying bath-friendly toys for water play, maintaining the hygiene of your toys, and conducting regular self-examinations for early detection of health issues.

Dr. Sheperd asserts that pleasure is not a luxury but a necessity. By incorporating sexcare into regular self-care practices, individuals can enjoy the comprehensive health benefits it offers, including the positive effects of masturbation on one's health.
