Ejaculation

the us giant is considered a real milestone for the presence of this type of companies in the fair. So says Patricia Lopez, an expert in the sector and founder of Myhixel, a company that has developed a device to help control the ejaculation: “The industry of sex-related products has been closely linked to the realm of pornographic. There are many products that continue to be so, but since some years ago, the industry has evolved towards the health and sexual well-being”.

The majority of devices exposed in the show are for women. “This happens because we have normalized the discourse of sexual health and we are used to going to the gynecologist. However, for a man to go to the urologist is a matter of life or death,” López adds. But they also are concerned about the sexual well-being. The research Myhixel has been concluded that among the top searches on Google are “premature ejaculation”, “last more in bed” and “best sex”.

The 31% of men between 18 and 56 years suffering from premature ejaculation, according to a study from the National Health and Social Life Survey. Of them, 85% prefer to take it in silence. “Premature ejaculation can sometimes break relationships. From the Institute Sexological of Murcia added that there are couples who are going to query for it. It is a pity that because of the taboo not to seek solutions,” says Lopez.

Return the spark to couples who have spent many years together with sexual devices is the goal of MysterVibe. “In marriages of long, the sex sometimes goes away. A few years ago I asked my friends and they told me that all they did was take their children to school or have work meetings. In the evening, think of the next thing that would need to be done instead of when they were going to have sex. We want to create products that help couples to regain that mystery," says the founder of MysterVibe, Soumyadip Rakshit, who brings 15 years married.

Between his hands plays with a vibrator in purple. Bends it to one side to the other and says “the more people talk about sexual health, the easier it will be to break down the barriers”. "Almost 60% of women in the world is going to have a baby and 100% of those older than 55 will go through menopause. In the case of men, many have colon problems or erection. Sexual health is something totally normal,” he says before making the following comparison: “sex is like food. If you don't eat, you'll end up dying. If you don't have sex, there will be a next generation and you'll end up being the last person on the planet”.
