Key Points:

• Lack of Research in Female Sexual Health: Unlike male sexual dysfunction, women's sexual health remains largely under-researched, with limited studies on women over 65.
• Stigma Around Aging and Sexuality: Many physicians and patients feel uncomfortable discussing sexual health, leading to a lack of education and care.
• Research on Vibratory Therapy: Dr. Dubinskaya’s study showed that external vibratory stimulation significantly improved sexual satisfaction, pelvic floor function, and mental health.
• Blood Flow and Sexual Function: Increased blood flow enhances vaginal lubrication, reduces friction between organs, and supports overall vaginal health.
• Postpartum and Menopausal Sexual Health: Many women experience changes in sexual function due to hormonal shifts, trauma, and stress. Education and the right tools can aid recovery.
• Introducing Sensara: This AI-powered device personalizes sexual wellness using sensors that monitor physiological responses and adjust stimulation accordingly.
• Advice for Physicians: Doctors should either learn to discuss sexual health openly or have referral sources for patients who need guidance.

Notable Quotes:

• "Sexual health is part of general health. It’s a window into what’s happening in the body."
• "We tell people to exercise for their heart, their lungs—why not for their pelvic floor and genital health?"
• "Using lubrication isn’t a failure—it’s a way to enhance pleasure and wellness."
• "We need more research, more conversations, and more solutions for women’s sexual health."

Final Takeaway:

Women’s sexual health is a critical yet often overlooked part of overall well-being. With more research, open conversations, and innovative solutions like Sensara, we can empower women to take charge of their sexual health at every stage of life.
