HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve’s resident intimacy expert and therapist, Dr. Jenni Skyler, is spotlighting some of the mental health benefits associated with regular sexual activity.
A press release from the company cites a pandemic-era study by the National Institutes of Health “which supports what the company has asserted for decades — regular sexual activity plays a protective role in not only maintaining but significantly improving mental health.”
Skyler noted how regular sexual activity contributes to stress reduction, mood enhancement, better sleep, higher self-esteem and stronger emotional bonding.
“Regular sexual activity has been linked to increased levels of oxytocin and serotonin, both of which are associated with elevated mood and decreased symptoms of depression,” she explained. “The physical and emotional relaxation that accompanies sexual intimacy can contribute to improved sleep quality, which is essential for mental health. A fulfilling sex life can enhance self-esteem and self-worth, leading to increased confidence and improved mental health. And intimacy fosters emotional connection, improving relationships and helping individuals feel more supported and mentally stable.”
Adam & Eve, Skyler said, has always believed in promoting healthy relationships.
“We're excited to highlight this research and provide a discount for veterans and those close to them,” she added. “It’s our way of demonstrating gratitude for their sacrifice while, at the same time, underscoring the importance of their mental well-being.”
