booths

ATLANTA, Sept. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It's time to tackle sexual and
electoral dysfunction. In partnership with Vote.org, Lovehoney is
providing eligible voters with information about how to register to
vote and educate themselves about local and state elections, while
launching the ultimate stimulus package—the Electoral
Dysfunction kit.
"Self-pleasure is self-understanding," Dr.
Justin Lehmiller, Lovehoney
Scientific Advisory & Kinsey Institute Researcher
A nationwide Lovehoney and the Kinsey Institute survey
revealed half of Americans have experienced sexual difficulties in
the last year. While sexual dysfunction is seen as something mostly
experienced by older adults, it can be an issue for people of all
ages and is experienced equally by both men and women. Young adults
ages 18-24 reported the highest rate of sexual problems. Low sexual
interest, difficulty orgasming, and low enjoyment were reported as
the three most common difficulties.
Treating sexual dysfunction can be confusing, and so can
navigating election season. In fact, only 15-27% of eligible
voters participate in local elections, according to the National
Civic League.
Many eligible voters feel the system is rigged, are overwhelmed
by a lack of information or frustrated by limited candidate
options. The top reasons non-voters gave for not voting were that
they don't like the candidates (17%), don't know the candidates and
issues (13%) and feel their vote doesn't matter (12%), as reported
by the Knight Project.
Local and state elections are crucial in shaping communities, as
they determine who will make key decisions on education,
healthcare, infrastructure, and public safety. While the
presidential race takes the spotlight, local elections often have a
more immediate impact on day-to-day life. Prospective voters can
learn more about their ballot here.
The good news: Both sexual dysfunction and electoral
dysfunction can be managed with the right tools.
"Masturbation can help with a range of sexual difficulties,"
said Dr. Justin Lehmiller, Lovehoney
Scientific Advisor and Kinsey Institute Researcher. "For example,
sometimes we run into sexual problems because we don't know what
works for our bodies. Masturbation can help you discover what feels
good, while helping you to unlock new sources of pleasure."
The same survey revealed 64% of people would masturbate more
if they knew masturbation had health benefits. That's why
Lovehoney has created the ultimate stimulus package with the
Electoral Dysfunction kit, which comes with a mini vibrator and
penis ring, providing tools to tackle sexual difficulties
directly.
"In the case of erectile difficulties, a penis ring can be a
handy way of helping to maintain an erection. Incorporating a
vibrator into partnered sex can offer targeted clitoral
stimulation, which can help women who are unable to reach orgasm
through penetration alone," continued Dr. Lehmiller.
The Electoral Dysfunction kit is available now for
$19.99 at Lovehoney.com.
