People With Anxiety And Depression More Likely To Use ‘Sextech,’ Study Finds

People struggling with their mental health are more likely to explore digital sexual technologies, a study finds. Kinsey Institute experts say sextech helps these individuals find temporary relief. Examples of sextech include erotic webcam sites, virtual reality porn, or even just the capacity to share sexually explicit images or videos.

“It’s likely that many users in these spaces do have social support and adequate social networks, but they’re turning to online sexual technologies for a unique boost to their psychological mindset,” researchers say. “As the global need for innovative mental health resources and interventions increases, emerging sexual technologies may provide relief for people with mental health struggles.” The authors point out that sextech is not used by lonely people who can’t find sex in face-to-face relationships, but instead as an “important pathway for mental health intervention.”

This Company Wants To Make Sex Toys More Accessible For People With Disabilities

Sextech is seeking to change the sex toy industry by creating innovative products created for and by more marginalized people. Now there’s a new sextech company focusing exclusively on people with disabilities. Handi says, “more brands wanting to be seen as inclusive and doing something for people with disabilities, very few dedicate the proper money or resources needed to fix the problem, or to design innovative solutions.”

The company has spent years working on concepts to help bridge this gap in the sex toy market by working in partnership with a research and design team, which found that roughly 56 percent of people with physical disabilities reported having difficulty with self-pleasuring. Handi gets feedback from a variety of testers with a range of hand-related disabilities to ensure that every part of the experience—from packaging, to clean up, to even storage—is doable (no pun intended!) for these folks, without assistance from a caregiver. “We work directly with occupational therapists, since they see clients every day, have amazing brains for problem-solving, and see firsthand the most common issues,” Handi says.
