Let's make 2022 the year we prioritize joy with the dam.
Happy New Year! Do you have time to discuss orgasm? Specifically, the pleasure gap, or the gender gap in orgasms during intercourse." Last year, women were four times more likely than men to report that the sex they were having was "not pleasurable at all." Frankly, this is not the good news we wanted to hear this year.
While the existence of the pleasure gap can be attributed to a variety of causes, including stigmatization around sexual pleasure, penis-centered depictions of intercourse in popular culture, and a general taboo when talking about orgasm, there is a much easier way to help solve this problem. Enter Dame, a groundbreaking sexual wellness brand founded by women that gives vulva owners the tools they need to prioritize pleasure and bridge the gap. (Marie Claire readers get an exclusive discount!)
Dame has developed a variety of sexual wellness products for couples and solo adventurers. These products are next-level: Dame has reinvented the wheel with respect to classic sex toy shapes like wands and bullets, adding thoughtful touches that only someone who has actually used these products would have been able to create.
In other words, since no two bodies or orgasms are the same, Dame invites us to get in touch with ourselves, both literally and figuratively. Taking time to explore one's own sexual wellness and pleasure can provide insight into what works, what doesn't, and even overall health.
Now, about these products: Dame is the genius brand behind Eva, a hands-free couples toy that focuses pleasure on the vulva during insertive sex. Thanks to its unique design and impossibly chic color options, Eva was virtually begging to be displayed as a conversation piece rather than hidden away in a bedside drawer.
Also from the Dayim series, the Pom is a cute, bendy little vibrator with five speeds, five strengths, and a waterproof finish so it can be used anywhere. Pulses of air mimic the best parts of oral sex. Then there's the Arc, a discreet G-spot vibrator that can be used internally or externally, with squishy bulbs and concentrated ridges for the ultimate self-exploration.
And now there is Com, an external curved rechargeable wand with Dames strongest motor. Unlike other wands, the Com is designed with comfort in mind, is actually quiet, has a lightweight design, a one-hour battery life, and an ergonomic handle that works with the body. This is not a "personal massager" that negates sex toys: this is a sex toy that also functions perfectly well as a personal massager.
So let this be the year you face yourself and find something you really, really like. Because the only way to bridge that pesky pleasure gap is to put your own pleasure first. Dame understands that.
