A woman has claimed that sex toys were the only thing that could help her when she lost her ability to orgasm.
Sex writer, Nadia Bokody, has revealed how starting a course of antidepressants two years ago had a big impact on her sex life and she found herself unable to climax.
In a column for Mamamia.com.au, she says the whole experience left her sobbing in bed after sex and feeling "utterly broken", confessing that neither her partner nor her favourite adult videos could get her to reach the big-O at that time.
Instead it was her impressive collection of sex toys that ultimately saved the day.
Following a tearful conversation with her boyfriend, the pair decided to try incorporating one of her many "power tools" into the mix.
She was surprised that this was a suggestion that came from him, as some men she's dated had found the idea of using sex toys in bed "offensive".
But as luck would have it, he was completely on board and within a few hours her incredibly frustrating problem came to an end.
Nadia, who often talks about her hilarious sex and dating misadventures on her YouTube channel, thinks she has spent around £2,800 on sex toys to date - including splashing out £112 on one made of crystal and roughly the same amount on a panty vibrator.
And while this may seem a little extravagant, she goes on to explain that it's actually a very smart move for her sexual health.
She said: "We're happy investing our cash in paying the mortgage so we can own a nice home, seeing the doctor so we can take care of our health, and buying good food to nourish our bodies. So why not nourish our sexuality and invest in a product guaranteed to bring us arguably more pleasure and mental health benefits than any house, car, or fancy dinner ever could?
"While our cars eventually need to be traded in, and handbags fall apart, we only have one vagina. So, why put anything less high quality in it than we'd put on our skin?"
She added: "They say money can't buy happiness, but soaring sales of sex toys and the women gleaning on-demand orgasms from them beg to differ - among them, women like me, who'd once written off their sexual pleasure to medication, or menopause, or illness.
"Any guilt I once held around the amount of money I've forked out on my own sex toy collection over the years has now evaporated.
"The fact is, a sex toy literally gave me my quality of life and my connection to my partner back. And there's no price you can ever put on that."
