BEND, Ore.—Holistic Wisdom, Inc. has outlined education concerning the sexual health challenges that COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 virus) has presented and how it impacts sexual health, intimacy, and the sale and use of sex toys.
Due to the virus's impact on the circulatory system, which is directly linked to sexual functioning, issues such as vaginal dryness, erectile dysfunction, and loss of libido are becoming more prevalent. In addition, its effect is especially profound among older adults, immunocompromised, and those with disabilities, which also can impact sexual health and functioning.
Sexual health challenges such as these impact sexual health concerns for many and will continue to influence sex toy sales in managing complications related to sexual dysfunction.
Holistic Wisdom, Inc. CEO and author of the COVID & Sex Guide, Dr. Lisa Lawless said, "There has been a great deal of confusion and misinformation on COVID, and very little has been reported on issues relating to sexual health. This is why we are committed to providing the most accurate, up-to-date information, drawing on data from the top epidemiologists and sexual health experts."
With new variants frequently occurring while ushering in new symptoms and studies, it is an ever-changing topic of discussion and one worth exploring. For example, the latest Arcturus / XBB.1.16 subvariant manifests as viral conjunctivitis (pink eye). Because bacterial and viral pink eye (conjunctivitis) is linked to STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes simplex virus thus, questions arise about how it may impact sexual health.
In addition, COVID impacted and continues to drive the sale and utilization of sex toys which is another area this guide reviews. In light of the health implications of COVID on sexual well-being and sexual dysfunction, sex toys could provide a beneficial tool to help individuals manage temporary or persistent sexual difficulties.
