Valentine's Day: the date when love is celebrated, if you know how to hit the right key; or ends in an argument, if you stand idly by. Yes, it's clear that it's an ideal date to celebrate love. But how do you celebrate something that is taken for granted in a special way? Here comes our suggestion: take this opportunity to innovate in intimacy and escape from the routine.

We know that romantic dinners and bouquets of flowers never fail. But giving the gift of sexual well-being is much more original, especially when this sphere is more forgotten. So, grab a notebook and a pen because in the next five minutes we are going to make sure you learn how to enjoy different experiences in bed. We assure you that this will strengthen your relationship , in addition to promoting mental and physical health.

Benefits of taking care of your partner's sexual well-being

I'm sure you know that sexuality is a main pillar of everyone's life . When we talk about relationships, dynamics and practices come into play that involve both partners. It's not just about physical pleasure, but also about emotional connection, communication and self-knowledge. So, as you can imagine, sex is more than just having a good time . In fact, studies have shown that a satisfying sex life is linked to lower levels of stress and anxiety, as well as greater psychological well-being (Brotto, 2016).


As experts in the field, we know that sexual satisfaction improves trust and complicity in the relationship . Science says that couples who explore new forms of pleasure and work on their sexual well-being as a team tend to report higher levels of happiness in their relationship (Muise, Impett, Kogan, & Desmarais, 2013). Therefore, it is important that you see your intimate relationships as something to dedicate time and quality to. How? By betting on new experiences and products specifically designed to take care of the intimate area while you have a great time . Doesn't it sound good? Valentine's Day is the best time to prove it to your partner.


Sexual wellness gift ideas for Valentine's Day


People say that what's good for your health, isn't fun. But here we are to debunk it with a series of original gifts that are completely beneficial for your intimate health (and your pleasure).


1. Products to improve men's sexual health

Sexual health is key to a complete experience. We can't put the cart before the horse. So, if you want unique, fulfilling and satisfying experiences, we must first make sure that all the machinery is working properly . However, more and more men report having a problem in bed (Kessler et al., 2019). Either because they find it hard to maintain an erection or because they feel they lose control over their ejaculation . But we will talk about how to solve these problems later.


2. Explore new sensations

Who doesn't like a good massage? It relieves stress, relaxes tense muscles and makes you feel brand new. But massages can also have an erotic component if you think about it. And is that, this modality serves to reconnect and experience new sensations with your partner , in addition to everything above. The key is to use a good massage oil with aphrodisiac properties.


Warning! Not just any oil will do: use one that is good for the skin of the intimate area, so you can stimulate all parts of the body and enhance the pleasure of both of you. Try taking turns giving each other sensual massages. Don't hesitate to explore different parts of the body with slow strokes and varying pressure to discover new ways to get and feel pleasure.

3. Make the shower a new space for intimacy


Showering as a couple is an often used resource when it comes to reconnecting. And it is a space that goes beyond hygiene, as it can become an erotic experience that awakens more senses than you thought. For this, we recommend that you use a quality intimate gel, such as MYHIXEL Gel , as it not only improves hygiene but also provides a refreshing sensation ideal for intensifying the desire you are building while you shower. You can look at it this way: a ritual in the hygiene routine that helps enhance complicity and prepare the body for more intimate (and spicy) moments.

4. Play with new textures and sensations


Yes, textures. Experimenting with different textures and temperatures is the easiest way to reignite passion in bed. It's as easy as applying a specific moisturizer for the intimate area . This way, you not only improve the health of the skin, but also add a very interesting sensory element during foreplay. In addition, you can combine it with a manual massage to enhance arousal and increase sensitivity.


5. Introduce new practices to get out of the routine


Many couples decide to start experimenting and introduce new practices as a way to rekindle the spark. Opening new doors to pleasure involves trying new positions or incorporating role-playing games . In short, it is to break the monotony and dare to try something new together. Remember that this is not only a way to increase arousal, but it also strengthens the trust and connection between you two.


As we mentioned at the beginning, many men have difficulty enjoying themselves or their partner because of common conditions such as premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. Fortunately, there are solutions specifically designed to improve control over your erections and ejaculations and, thus, enhance your pleasure and that of your partner. The best part? It's not the typical lifetime treatment or those products that leave you with side effects. So, there are no excuses to live new experiences in bed without worries or worries!


If you are looking for a little extra help to have firmer erections without medication, MYHIXEL Ring is the perfect solution. It is the penis ring that is revolutionizing the way you experience intimacy. And with the 3-pack , you can be prepared for every occasion. Each of the rings has a different pressure (Light, Firm or Intense).

And for those who want to last longer in bed and enjoy carefree pleasure, MYHIXEL Control is the best choice. Thanks to its natural and science-backed approach, it combines a stimulation device with an interactive app that guides you step-by-step through personalized activities, just like a video game. You'll learn to better control ejaculation and prolong pleasure easily and without side effects . Most importantly, it adapts to your rhythm, helping you to gain confidence and improve your performance progressively.

6. Better lubrication for a more pleasurable experience


You already use lubricant? Perfect, but did you know that depending on what you want to do, you should use certain types ? Choosing a good lube is the first step to ensure a much more comfortable and pleasurable experience. For those encounters in which what you are looking for is to fully enjoy direct physical contact, the best option is to have a natural water-based lubricant at hand.


These lubricants have a double function: to improve the sensation of softness and reduce friction , making the experience more fluid and pleasurable. Try it during foreplay or at different times during intercourse so you can see how the sensation varies and how much it enhances the experience.


7. Set a special atmosphere with small changes


Sometimes it's the small changes in the environment that enhance intimacy . Surely you've heard of erotic candles, which are perfectly safe to practice a massage with the oil that melts as the candles are consumed. But if you do not want to spend more money, do not worry because what we are going to recommend below you have it at home with total security: from dim lights, to a playlist of sensual music (you can try with themes that only you turn you on) will make any encounter more special.


Conclusion


Valentine's Day is a perfect opportunity to go beyond the classic gifts depends on you. Sexual wellness is about investing in happiness, connection, pleasure and fun. But if you're short on time or don't feel like thinking about what's the best option, you still have time to get the most complete intimate pack you'll find , and ensure more than one experience that will undoubtedly transform your relationship in and out of bed. Because a full sexuality is not only enjoyed in bed, but is also reflected in the complicity and satisfaction of your partner.
