NEWTON — plusOne has released the results of a clinical research study it commissioned to understand the benefits of regular masturbation to achieve an orgasm utilizing the company’s sexual wellness devices.
“plusOne is breaking down barriers and disrupting outdated taboos by making sexual pleasure part of daily self-care and beauty routines,” said a rep.
The eight-week-long clinical research study was conducted with over 30 women, ages 35-50, with a diverse range of ethnicities and body types.
The data shows that four weeks into the study, women found that masturbating at least three days per week led to improved firmness, elasticity and radiance of the skin.
According to plusOne’s study, “at Week Eight, the results continued to show improvement in overall appearance of skin, including texture and tone, as well as diminished sagging, fine lines and wrinkles.”
“The individuals collectively reported that their skin felt tighter and firmer and looked brighter and more lifted,” said a rep.
Dermatologist and skincare expert Dr. Ava Shamban called the study a “game-changer,” claiming it “finally proves the link between healthier skin and sexual wellness.”
"It turns out, yes, orgasms increase your body's levels of estrogen, which contributes to healthy skin from the inside out,” Shamban said. “Estrogen makes skin thicker and helps maintain collagen levels, which results in more radiant, supple, wrinkle-resistant and firmer skin, especially as we age."
Dermis and Desire
“This study breaks new ground with the correlation of 'dermis and desire,' offering women another way to support skin and address concerns,” Shamban added. “Who said you can't have the best of both worlds? For a glowing complexion, we'll definitely have what she's having."
The participants utilized a variety of plusOne pleasure products during the clinical trial, including the Air Pulsing Arouser, Mini Massager, Vibrating Bullet, Personal Massager and Dual Vibrating Massager. The results did not vary according to type of vibrator used so long as masturbation led to completion.
Aliona Titarenko, marketing manager at plusOne, opined that “this cutting-edge research opens up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to the future of skincare.”
“We are bringing innovation to the beauty industry in an unprecedented and entirely unexpected way,” said Titarenko. “Now we know that obtaining healthy skin is as easy as pleasuring yourself, at least three days per week.”
