According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, more than 40 million American adults suffer from anxiety disorders. That's almost 20% of the population. In fact, anxiety is so prevalent that it is the most common mental health problem dealt with by adults in the US today.

The same story is played out elsewhere, with 74% of Brits admitting to feeling stressed and anxious to the point of being overwhelmed in the last 12 months alone. This is almost three quarters of the entire adult population of the UK.

Common symptoms of anxiety and stress include physical and emotional problems, including irritability and irritability, as well as headaches and insomnia.

Modern life can be tough, with pandemics exacerbating feelings of stress and anxiety around the world. 24/7 news cycles are full of doom and gloom, but other triggers may include personal relationships - or the lack of them.

Can a lack of sex really cause anxiety?

We know what you might be thinking. Can a lack of sex be a source of anxiety for you? According to doctors, the answer is yes! Research conducted by the National Institutes of Health in 2017 aimed to better understand the relationship between a satisfying sex life and emotional well-being, including feelings of well-being or satisfaction.

The study states, "Thus, conventional wisdom among health researchers holds that safe, consensual sex is essential for positive emotional and general psychological well-being ...... Low levels of sexual activity in physically healthy adults are often seen as a sign of poor emotional and sexual well-being."

You heard it straight from the doctor's mouth - sex is good for your health! If we haven't quite convinced you yet, here are all the ways sex dolls can improve your anxiety levels (and, of course, increase your overall satisfaction!) .

Not having sex can make you feel more anxious

According to Medical News Today, if you're in a relationship but not having sex, you're likely to feel higher levels of anxiety. As we've seen, this can lead to physical and mental problems, which can lead to more anxiety. It's a vicious circle.

Of course, you can't force your partner to want more sex. Doing so may put a strain on what could otherwise be a healthy and happy relationship. It may also lead to your partner feeling anxious themselves. A sex doll is a win-win solution for both partners. A super realistic doll that feels and looks just like the sexiest woman or man you can imagine, and who is custom designed to tick all your pleasure spots in terms of cup size, body type, hair and eye colour, and who is at your command and asking for sex at any time of the day or night? Win-win.

Great post-breakup sex dolls

Going through a relationship breakdown really sucks. Having your heart broken and losing someone you thought you'd be with forever is truly one of the worst feelings in the world. It can make you question everything and feel alone, isolated, lonely and adrift. For many people, breaking up can have a detrimental effect on their mental health and it can trigger feelings of anxiety if you're not used to living alone or sleeping alone. Similarly, if you question whether you will ever meet someone, you may also find yourself slipping into anxiety and depression.

Rushing into a rebound relationship may quell some of these fears, but it can also amplify others while being unfair to another person. Taking time to deal with loss and grief is generally considered to be the best way to move on after a relationship breakdown, but it can also be frightening. Not to mention, it also means no sex. As we saw above, involuntary abandonment can also cause anxiety.

Instead of starting a relationship that is likely to leave you causing the same pain to another person, having a sex doll on hand to satisfy your sexual needs and bring pleasure back into your life is just a good thing. What's more, having the complete freedom to be as wild, experimental and creative as you like is likely to somehow take your mind off your broken heart, while also giving you some new skills to equip your next partner with when you're ready to move on!

Sex dolls can be great company

Whether you are mourning the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or just haven't found someone with whom you have a connection, being alone can be lonely. Many people, especially those who have lost a partner, turn to sex dolls. The truth is that dolls can provide wonderful companionship, which in itself can help to avoid severe anxiety.

High quality sex dolls are made from quality materials and designed to last for many years, meaning that you can expect to have companionship for a long time after the initial investment.

Whether it's sex you miss or other everyday activities such as listening to music, watching your favourite show or snuggling up to sleep, a realistic sex doll can fill the void and provide the companionship you crave.

You can practise your sexual skills with complete confidence

Being nervous about the opposite sex is a major source of anxiety for many people and can be so severe as to be disabling. A lack of confidence can lead to a lack of confidence as you may be reluctant to meet new people. This means you have limited opportunities to have sex, which can make you feel anxious about your skills in the bedroom. And so on and so forth. It feels like there's no way out of this terrible cycle.

Sex dolls can provide an escape route with the maximum possible fun and pleasure built in! With dolls available on demand, you have the freedom to hone your sexual skills and build confidence in the privacy of your own home. This means that whether you want to practice the basics such as oral sex, overcome performance anxiety and learn to last longer, or be more adventurous in terms of positions, you can do it all without worrying about what might come from a human partner.

Not only will your sex dolls never say no, they will never make negative comments, never complain to others and never leave you feeling less than 100% satisfied.

Sex dolls offer an alternative to human touch

Modern life has effectively distanced us from other people, which means we spend more time alone in front of screens than ever before. While 24/7 high-speed internet access isn't a bad thing, being able to plug in and out means we have fewer conversations and fewer connections. The pandemic means that we may not even need to go into the office anymore, which means that many forms of human interaction are actually decreasing.

A downside to this is that many of us are also missing out on human contact, which scientists have found can also put a strain on our physical and mental health. While human contact is not as important as food or drink, it is necessary for well-being and mental health. That said, it's not always possible to get a person to shake hands or hug on demand, and in a post-pandemic world, many of us probably don't want that either.

Sex dolls are a wonderful, healthy alternative to human contact that can bring you the same sense of well-being whenever you choose. Why? Simple. Advanced TPE and silicone materials are used to create high-quality sex dolls that feel like human skin and can be gently heated to add a realistic quality. Sure, scientists do say you can do yoga and get some of the same benefits, but isn't it more fun to have the hottest, wettest, most satisfying sex you can imagine, delivered on your terms and conditions? Also they come in all types and you can go for the doll you want depending on what you like, they can be anime sex dolls, big breasted sex dolls, Japanese sex dolls, young sex dolls and so on
