It’s no secret that sex is good for our health. Aside from bigger smiles, boosts in self-confidence, and endorphin rushes, orgasms have a variety of health benefits that go deeper (way deeper) than the obvious. And there are direct correlations between orgasms and breast cancer prevention, which is as mind-blowing as it is amazing. So do it and do it all the time – in the name of health, of course!

Among other hormones, orgasms release a neurotransmitter called oxytocin, which is responsible for a slew of incredible effects – pain relief, intense joy and stress-relief to name a few. But this powerful and important hormone also has been attributed to the delay in development of breast cancer cells. In 1994, a team of scientists in Italy performed a study that involved treating breast cancer cells in mice and rats with oxytocin and measuring each cell’s reaction. The results showed a measurable link between the “love hormone” and inhibited breast cancer cell growth – an exciting, though unexpected, effect!

The body releases a lingering flood of oxytocin along with every orgasm, so naturally, we’ve added “do it daily” to our breast cancer prevention best practice list. But sometimes having an orgasm isn’t so easy – and that’s what we’re here for. Here are 3 things that will make O-faces come a little easier:

1. Lubrication
One of the many amazing abilities of the female body is self-lubrication. Sometimes, women get turned on like a faucet, creating their own wet wonderland between their legs and facilitating some incredibly pleasant sex action. Other times, they could use a little slickness assistance, and that’s where lube comes in.

Lubricant was created not to fix a problem or facilitate some kind of kinky fetish (though it certainly fulfills both of those roles, if you want to get technical); it’s here to protect our delicate and beloved lady parts from the discomfort of dryness – and make sex feel so so so much better! Any amount of dryness “down there” can cause unwanted friction that can make intercourse feel uncomfortable and even painful. Try adding lube (even if you don’t think you need it) and see how it helps the sexual experience!

And for the solo folks, lubricant can transform an ordinary masturbation experience into something very special – and for many women, help make it easier to have an orgasm. Most women experience pleasure from stimulating their clitorises and adding lubrication can transform the sensation into a smooth glide across sensitive skin. And adding lube to the nipples heightens the feeling of touch and can get you even closer to the big O. Practice makes perfect, so stock up and start rehearsing!

2. Meditation
The brain is the most important sex organ, especially for women, and if it’s not focused on the task at hand, there’s a good chance that orgasms won’t come easily. But with so much going on in our lives every day, it can be tough to just turn it all off – and that’s how meditation can help. Even just a few minutes dedicated to clearing and calming the mind can make a world of difference in the sex department.

Try this: lie on your back with your eyes closed. Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out. Count how many seconds it takes to fill up your lungs and then exhale in the same amount of time. 1…2…3…4…keep that up, in and out, until all you’re focused on is breathing. Try challenging yourself with slower, deeper breaths and see how long it takes for your heartbeat to slow and your mind to mellow out. You’ll be amazing at how quickly it can work – and how fast it can help you get in the mood to get busy!

3. Vibration
Some women didn’t have their first orgasm until they discovered vibrators. Sex toys like these take the strenuous work out of self-love and give your fingers (or whatever home-made tools you might be using) a break. And thanks to technological advancements, you can find vibrators that massage, tickle, tease and intensely stimulate wherever you put them with multiple speeds and various functions.

Start small – mini vibes are portable, compact, easy to use and often cost a lot less than their more advanced counterparts. Once you feel what you like (and what you don’t), you can shop around for the perfect sex toy that’ll help you get closer to orgasm every time you try.

Orgasms can be a challenge, but they don’t always have to! Use one (or all!) of our tips and get ready to release that O all day long – oxytocin, that is! You’ll feel lighter and brighter knowing you’re doing your body good in so many more ways than one. Hooray for good health!

Here are the 9 ways to fulfill orgasm since 1859, the history changed orgasms as it evolves

1. Hysteria
By 1859, medical doctors frequently diagnosed women with what they called hysteria, a mental illness that exhibited a variety symptoms, including shortness of breath, faintness, irritability, loss of libido and lack of appetite. Treatment included a special “pelvic massage” technique, which ultimately brought patients to orgasm.

This physical “release” was believed to be the ultimate cure after female patients left feeling calm, relaxed and back to “normal” – so it was only logical to assume that an orgasmic response was the ideal treatment. And this ensued for decades. Best. Prescription. Ever.

2. The Manipulator
With cases of hysteria – and resulting orgasmic treatments – on the rise, doctors needed a device that would handle symptom-alleviating stimulation while giving their tired hands and wrists a rest. In 1869, Dr. George Taylor set to work to create a mechanical vibrator to do the job – and the result was the Manipulator, a massive steam-powered engine with a dildo-like extension that diddled and tickled with the flip of a switch. Doctors’ – and their female patients’ – lives were changed forever. (Or at least until the early 20th century, when diagnoses of hysteria dwindled.)

3. K-Y Jelly
K-Y Jelly was introduced to the market in 1904 for use as a surgical lubricant, but ended up providing men and women with an incredibly effective solution to chafing, discomfort and displeasure during intercourse. It remains today one of the No. 1 water-based lubricants recommended by gynecologists and other health professionals for better, more pleasurable sex.

4. The Top-loading Washing Machine
After World War II, the top-loading automatic washing machine became a common part of every household and made the lives of housewives and moms just a tad more manageable. And it was no secret that these massive cube-like vibrating contraptions were capable of providing much more than a clean load. Ladies simply leaned against the edge or were so bold as to take a seat on top and patiently (and pleasurably) waited for the spin cycle to start.

5. Hitachi Magic Wand
The now famous rumbling massager made its industry debut in 1968, hitting the market with promise of relief from aches, soreness, tension and knots. And while it certainly provided such effects when used according to instructions, women across the country quickly learned to rely on it to soothe and release much more than tight muscles.

Now marketed as simply the Magic Wand, this hand-held earthquake machine remains one of women’s top sex toy choices for guaranteed orgasms.

6. Deenie by Judy Blume
This famed novel from 1973 was one of the first to feature a main character exploring and discussing masturbation and include it as a regular (and innocent) part of the plotline.

Passages include: “[That week] I touched my special place practically every night. It was the only way I could fall asleep and besides, it felt good;” and “Usually I take showers and get in and out as fast as possible. But the hot water [in the bathtub] was very relaxing and soon I began to enjoy it. I reached down and touched my special place with the washcloth. I rubbed and rubbed until I got that good feeling.”

Reading Deenie exposed millions to the idea of female masturbation as a common and healthy part of their lives – opening the minds of young readers across the nation.

7. When Harry Met Sally
This fan-favorite romantic comedy was released in theaters in 1989 and blew everyone’s minds with the first full-blown fake orgasm to be portrayed on film. For those of you (aliens, probably) who are unfamiliar with the famous scene: actress Meg Ryan sits across actor Tom Hanks in a crowded restaurant as the two characters argue about men’s ability to ID a fake orgasm. She proceeds to break into a loud, expressive and convincing orgasmic explosion and alarm (and excite) their hungry neighbors, leaving a nearby patron to flag down the waitress and say, “I’ll have what she’s having.”

This iconic scene set a precedence for orgasmic potential on screen.

8. Joycelyn Elders
The former U.S. Secretary of State made controversial waves – which ultimately led to her resignation – in 1994 when she was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS and publicly commended masturbation as a healthy part of human sexuality. “And perhaps it should be taught,” she said. This shocked the nation – especially the White House – and led to her being fired by President Bill Clinton later that year.

Despite public outcry and support, Elders moved on in the public eye and maintains her unabashed opinions regarding abstinence-only sex education, masturbation and contraceptives.

9. The Screaming O Vibrating Ring
2005 brought the birth of the original Screaming O Vibrating Ring sex toy, a stretchy ring with a tiny vibrator on top designed to make it easier for women to reach orgasm each time they have sex. This little ring essentially attached a mini vibrator to the base of the penis – perfectly positioned to stimulate her clitoris with every thrust – and continues to help women across the country get closer to orgasm with their partners. Sometimes for the very first time!

It’s Week 4 of Masturbation Month and we’ve gotten pretty damn good at this self-love thing. Last week we recommended a sex toy for men that makes HJs and stroke sessions something truly special, and this week we’re turning the tables and giving the gals a sexy gift they should send to themselves. Because you deserve it, ladies – and let’s be honest; your fingers could use a break.

The last few weeks have brought us the Soft-Touch Bullet mini vibe, the award-winning Screaming O Vibrating Ring and the hand-tastic Paco’s Taco™ stroker for men. Now we’re going to shine light on one of the simplest, yet most popular mini vibes on the market – the Fing O® finger-fitted mini massager.

This little gem stretches to fit on any size finger and turns your entire hand into a vibrator. (Yes please!) Most ladies start by using their pointer fingers to get the job done, but the Fing O turns it up several notches to give women the same tactile control but with the enhancement of vibration!

It’s powered by our best-selling Bullet vibrator, which is encased in a super-soft body-safe silicone blend with one of three textures to choose from – Wavy ridges, Nubby dots, and Tingly “fingers.” And it’s reusable with replaceable batteries, so the Fing O will last way longer in the sack than you will – and it’ll always be ready for round 2 (and 3, 4 and 5).

Plus it’s compact, portable and easy to conceal so no one will know what you’ve got up your sleeve (and strapped to your finger). So treat yourself tonight with a BFF that buzzes – you’ve got one more week to make the most of Masturbation Month!

Week 3 of Masturbation Month means we’ve gotten well into the self-love swing and given our respective bits a solid workout. But the month ain’t over so we’re gearing up for this week’s focus – the phallus! This one’s for the guys (ladies, we’ll get you next week) so take notes and clear your schedules.

So far we’ve recommended the Soft-Touch Bullet mini vibes and fun ways to turn up the heat by double-fisting a vibrator and vibrating ring. Now it’s time to pay attention to the mighty penis and give your hands a hand.

Sure, stroking it with your strong arm is the way you’ve always done it. And if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. But what if we told you that you could up the ante with a no frills, no fuss sex toy that fits comfortably (and discreetly) in the palm of your hand?

Check out Paco’s TacO. Yeah, it’s a funny name, but look at it. It’s a freakin’ soft taco you wrap around your “meat” for a healthy helping of feels. Its unique open-faced design makes it easy to control the tightness and stays put with textured finger-grip grooves to keep it in place no matter how rigorous your appetite gets. No fake orifices or squishy tubes to stick your dick in – just a simple and super-soft sleeve that’s easy to use and keep clean. That’s right; Paco’s TacO is reusable and satisfies every time with second and third helpings greatly encouraged!

So set the table with the perfect “get off and go” product for men. Tonight it’s gonna be dinner for one.

It’s week 2 of Masturbation Month and we have to imagine that you’ve gotten better acquainted with your nether regions by now – all in the name of celebrating a national holiday, of course. We’re kicking things into second gear and getting you prepared for the next level of self-love, so hold on tight!

Last week we started with the basics and recommended a Soft-Touch Bullet – with 3 speeds and a pulse function to keep things interesting – but this week we’re adding a second sex toy to the mix to make sure you’re making the most of your extremities.

You’ve been graced with two hands, so why on earth use only one while you get busy with yourself? So as you diddle around with your new Screaming O Soft Touch Bullet, take a Screaming O Vibrating Ring in the other hand and add a vibrating twist to the mix. Here’s how:

Ladies: You know what to do with your mini massager. Keep that thing close to your clit at all times and don’t look back. Now take your Screaming O Vibrating Ring (it’s won all kinds of awards, by the way…it’s the ish) and wrap it around the pointer and middle fingers of your free hand with the vibrating motor facing palm-side. Once you flip the switch, the vibration will transfer all the way up your fingers so that when you touch yourself – nipples, stomach, lips, anywhere you like – you’ll feel a titillating tingle that’ll send you over the edge.

And gentlemen: You’ve got your Soft-Touch Bullet in one hand (and on your balls) and your other hand occupied, but there’s still room for a Vibrating Ring to do its thing. Stretch the ring around your shaft and balls with the motor positioned wherever you like it most: under your balls for extra stimulation or, if it’s too much with the Soft-Touch Bullet buzzing, place the motor at the top of your shaft. When you switch it on, you’ll send hands-free vibration up and down your dick that will blow your…mind in minutes.

It’s that time of year again, when panties drop and pants get a little tighter as we dedicate an entire month to masturbation. Self-love is a special thing and there’s no right or wrong way to do it, so The Screaming O is here to give you some tips and tricks – and sex toy recommendations – to help make May even merrier.

This week we’re reminding you, our fans, to have sex with someone they love – yourselves! – and make it a very special date. There’s no one more important in your life than you, so treat yourself like the king or queen you are and turn up the heat a tad with a special mini vibe that will turn every masturbation session into a special event. So set the scene, sprinkle some petals, and turn down the lights in anticipation for a very special Masturbation Month celebration.

The Soft-touch Bullet is a sophisticated twist on a classic mini massager with a powerful multifunction motor and smooth surface that glides across your skin like silk! Choose from three speeds and one pulsation function to tease and please and buzz with the kind of vibration you can’t find anywhere else.

Ladies – give your fingers a rest and put the Soft-touch Bullet to work. It’s petite and easy to hold (no carpal tunnel this time!) and feels great on all of your erogenous zones, and when you’re ready for the grand finale, just kick it into high gear and ride the waves. Your legs will wobble and your mind will muddle – but only for a moment. Until your next round, of course.

And gentlemen – you might think mini vibes are for the fairer sex, but let us recommend a Soft-Touch Bullet for the ol’ balls. There’s nothing quite like getting a little extra tingle down under while the main event goes down and the Soft Touch Bullet is the perfect compact companion to the palm of your hand. Set it on low and enjoy the soft rumble – you’ll thank us later.

Summer is pretty much dunzo and most of you 18 to 20-something-year-olds have packed up and shipped out to give college the old…well…college try. You’ve got pens, paper, a pillow and probably some condoms – just make sure you stock up on sex toys!

It’s the 21st century, guys and gals. We like sex and are more likely to hit the sheets before the books, why not pack a bag full of Screaming O vibrating rings, mini vibes and sexy supplies for the ultimate independent study?

Keep a Screaming O Vibrating Ring by the bed and impress your partner with some naughty knowledge. Or hide a Bullet under your pillow for those special nights when your roommate doesn’t come home. (Sometimes it’s more fun to do it yourself.)

And for those of you living in a dorm full of snoops, we recommend keeping the Studio Collection within arm’s reach. These mini vibes are disguised so secretly, no one will ever suspect that your favorite lipstick is actually a stealthy sex toy.

So spend the next semester with The Screaming O and become the ultimate campus Casanova and graduate CUM laude! (See what we did there?)

It’s the final week of Masturbation Month and the calendar gods have given us four more days to finish what we started. Each week we’ve outed a different do-it-yourself sex toy and exchanged it for a better, stronger and (let’s be honest) cooler version, and we’ve save one of our favorites for last.

But first, to recap, we’ve tossed out your old thimble for a FingO finger-fitted vibe, saved the zucchini for dinner in exchange for the Ogee bendy vibrator retired your electric toothbrush for a Studio Collection Mascara vibe and thrown out your nail polish for a super-powered mini bullet. Now it’s time to brush your shoulders off and get ready to blush.

The Feather Duster

Admit it. If you haven’t tried it, you’ve at least wondered what it’d feel like. Nothing gets a girl in the mood faster than the sensation of something soft running up and down her skin, which is why a feather duster is part of a crafty gal’s DIY toy box.

But let’s face it. It’s kinda gross. Not the act – that’s kinda awesome – but the tool itself. Feather dusters are, well, dusty and there’s really no way to keep on of those clean. But don’t fret just yet, because we’ve got a Screaming O instrument of OMG that’ll tickle, tease and leave you blushing for days.

Meet the Studio Collection Makeup Brush, a clever little mini vibe that looks like something you’d toss in your makeup bag or keep in your purse for touch-ups. And it’s so discreet you still can!

This little vibe buzzes for more than 80 minutes and features a steady strong vibration and a pulsating “please” mode to kick things up a notch. (Replaceable batteries are included!) Plus the multi-length flexible “bristles” transfer vibration at different intensities for ultimate tickle time as you glide it up, down and all around your body.

And when you’re ready to take it all the way simply rotate the brush on its side for intense vibration that will make you forget what those old feathers ever felt like.

It’s week 3 of Masturbation Month and we’re officially over the hump (pun intended) of this wondrous celebration of self-love! At this point you’ve traded your thimble in for a FingO finger vibe and that girthy cucumber for a bendy Ogee vibrator and don’t bother telling us how much you love them. We just know.

The Electric Toothbrush

This popular part of our daily routine has been adapted by most women with a brain and full set of teeth into a tremendously effective personal vibrator. Don’t believe us? Ask five women if they’ve ever bought an electric toothbrush to polish their lady parts instead of their teeth – someone’s gonna own up to it!

We’ve had our way with an electric toothbrush (a clean one, of course!) more than once and reaped the benefits over and over. Who doesn’t enjoy a smile that’s as bright as it is white? But now it’s time to save yourself some cash and awkward talks with your roommates (“Don’t use that one, use THAT one!”) and pick up vibrating Mascara from The Studio Collection.

Meet your new favorite Mascara, a powerful mini vibe with a flexible Tingle Tip that amplifies vibration wherever you touch it. The unique soft bristles feel amazing on the skin and let you pinpoint exactly where you want to feel it the most. Plus its clever styling keeps your sex toy incognito so you can leave it out in the open without worry – it looks so much like regular makeup, even your nosiest friends won’t suspect a thing!

And the best part? You don’t have to keep your toothbrush separate from your “toothbrush” anymore. You’ll save yourself time AND embarrassment!

We’re in Week 2 of Masturbation Month and by now you’ve probably worked out all of your kinks and gotten into the celebration groove. It also happens to be International Clitoris Awareness Week so if you aren’t already, start making yourself aware over and over and over again.

You’ve got three more weeks of Masturbation Month to go so get ready to get rid of another one of your homemade DIY sex toys and trade it in for something special that The Screaming O has up our sleeves!

Last week we showed you how to give your fingers a much-deserved break with the FingO finger-fitted mini vibe to replace that old thimble you used to hide by your bed. But this week we’re digging a little deeper, so to speak!

The Vegetable

You’re not the only one who quietly giggles at the sight of a long, thick and slightly curved cucumber. You’re also not the only one who keeps one in the crisper at home for emergencies of the masturbation kind.

But this month don’t waste quality produce when you can have a customizable sex toy that bends and twists in any direction you want – and has a powerful vibrator that feels better than even the most girthy root vegetable.

Meet the Ogee, a multipurpose customizable massager with a flexible core that lets you bend, twist and curve it to fit your unique shape and contour to hit those hard-to-reach spots that no zucchini or cucumber can! Powered by a super-strong bullet vibe, the Ogee buzzes for more than 80 minutes and is made of body-safe materials that won’t go rotten.

So leave your veggies for eating and your Ogee for sexing and make Week 2 of Masturbation Month something to remember!
