‘I have a
high sex drive’
Masturbating is something
that most of us do, yet
rarely talk about, despite
the fact it’s completely
natural – and even good
for you. ‘Self-pleasure
is important whether
you’re in a relationship or
not,’ says psychosexual and
relationship therapist Silva
Neves. If your sex drive is
higher than your partner’s,
take the pressure off by
prioritising some ‘me-
time’ with the MyViv
Pebble Personal Massager,
to help you hit the spot.‘I DON’T HAVE
TIME FOR SEX’

your social calendar,

preoccupied with other
things, but the trouble starts
when the communication
between you and your loved
one breaks down,’ says
Drury. She recommends
scheduling in sex with your
partner. ‘It’s a great way of
reclaiming intimacy.’ Get

But life doesn’t
always work out like that,
and when sex isn’t on
the cards – for whatever
reason – it can take its toll.
‘It’s not so much the act
of sex that’s important, but
the affection surrounding it,’
explains psychosexual and
relationship therapist Aoife
Drury. ‘The absence of sex
affects everyone differently,
but regular hugs, kisses
and touching are proven to
increase intimacy and raise
levels of oxytocin, the “love
hormone”, in the body.’
Whether you’re single or
in a relationship, everyone
deserves sexual wellness.
