Did you know that small personal pleasures can positively impact your career? A new analysis revealed by the company We-Vibe sheds light on this little-known link.
Did you know? At a time when two-thirds of French people say they are stressed by their work (according to a survey conducted by ADP France in 2022), personal pleasure appears to be a form of escape. We-Vibe, a company specializing in the development of intimate products, took a closer look at this subject by deciphering the link between personal pleasure and professional success.
Work: The Benefits of Personal Pleasure
Despite the spoilsport, enjoying yourself is important. And on an intimate level too! Allowing yourself little solitary pleasures (meaning, without Mr. or Mrs.) would also have many benefits. According to a We-Vibe press release, personal pleasure could actually boost your career.
It would strengthen self-esteem and self-confidence
“More than just a momentary pleasure, self-pleasure is a form of self-care that can significantly improve self-esteem and self-confidence. When we indulge in self-pleasure, our brains release dopamine, the “feel good” hormone, which promotes feelings of accomplishment and positivity. Additionally, the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the “love hormone,” further promotes feelings of connection and self-confidence. These chemical reactions help to reinforce a positive self-image, allowing individuals to integrate this confidence into their professional lives, leading to better decision-making, more assertive communication, and career progression. career global“, reveal We-Vibe experts.
It would improve relaxation and sleep for better performance
Another concrete effect of personal pleasure, and not insignificant to say the least: it would improve the quality of sleep and promote relaxation…. Which, in the short and medium term, would have an impact on our professional development.
“Work-related stress and anxiety are common barriers to relaxation and quality sleep, which are essential for optimal cognitive function and productivity. Self-pleasure can play a vital role in mitigating these challenges. The release of endorphins during self-pleasure serves as a natural stress reliever, promoting relaxation and calming the mind. Additionally, the physical exertion involved can lead to better sleep habits, ensuring that individuals wake up refreshed and ready to take on the challenges of the day with renewed energy and focus,” the statement states.
It would lower stress levels.
Finally, and this is probably the most obvious benefit: masturbating can lower stress levels and therefore help us better manage our professional challenges.
“Stress is an integral part of working life, but how we manage it can make all the difference in our success. Self-pleasure offers a natural and effective way to manage stress levels, providing a safe and accessible way to release emotions. By incorporating self-pleasure into a regular wellness routine, individuals can reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which in turn helps maintain composure, improve mood, and improve overall performance at work. A recent survey conducted by We-Vibe in March 2024 revealed that stress and fatigue were the main cause of an unsatisfactory sex life for 34.2% of French people,” the experts detail We-Vibe.
Before specifying: “Although this is a common problem, “55.4% of the 1,000 people surveyed in France say that the masturbation has the advantage of relieving stress, and for 36.6% it improves the quality of sleep. For 9% of those who participated in the survey, personal pleasure also improves cognitive function.
The expert’s opinion
Although not everyone has yet taken the plunge into intimate pleasures alone, Céline Vendé, sexologist, sex therapist and expert for We-Vibe, highlights the many positive effects associated with it, both physically and psychologically.
“Sexuality is a powerful resource that transcends the personal sphere. It helps to strengthen autonomy, self-confidence and serenity, all assets that can also enrich our professional lives. Considering personal pleasure as an act of overall well-being means recognizing its impact on mental, emotional and physical health. By adopting this perspective, we can improve not only our personal development, but also our professional performance and success,” she concludes.
