Women have been experts in being women since the dawn of time, but that hasn’t stopped men from insisting they know best. And that goes double when it comes to female sexuality. The clitoris has had thousands of years of being variously discovered, disappeared and disparaged. But thanks to Dr. Helen O’Connell, its back in the light.

September the 4th marks World Sexual Health Day, and this year’s theme “Positive Relationships” invites us to reflect on the profound impact that healthy connections have on our well-being. At its core, sexual health extends beyond physical aspects and includes emotional, relational, and psychological dimensions.

In the hustle and bustle of modern life, stress and sleep disturbances have become all too common.

The female libido, often shrouded in mystery and misconception, is a complex interplay of physical, emotional, and psychological factors. Understanding one’s own libido and recognizing signs of high or low levels is essential for overall well-being and relationship satisfaction.

While Menopause is a natural biological process, when you wake up drenched in sweat, find yourself  weeping over a picture of life-bonded Macaroni Penguins, or look at your beloved partner with a fond lack of libido, you can find yourself wondering what’s normal and what’s not.

If your arousal levels are low and your lack of orgasming is to blame – enter Cliovana™, a 100% non-invasive procedure that helps you achieve a better orgasm, more often.

As we blow out the candles on another year, we can’t help but take note of the things that have changed over time. And let’s face it, one of the lesser discussed aspects of aging is how getting older impacts our sex lives.

Ask any of us and it will likely come as no surprise that a women will say their sexual health is connected to their overall well-being, but when asked to expand, it sometimes isn’t as clear of a connection. How is sexual health defined in this instance, and how is it connected to the more ambiguous ‘well-being’?

Sound wave tech has emerged as a ground-breaking non-invasive solution in many medical applications. As part of that innovation, Cliovana™ is a new innovative advance in the realm of sexual wellness.

As Mae West famously said, “An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away”, and the health benefits of orgasm are a nice bonus – from lowering cortisol, the main stress hormone, to pain relief.  As for the event itself – the build-up, labored breathing, tense limbs, rush of adrenaline and release… Let’s look under the hood and see exactly what’s going on to experience the mysterious and pleasurable female orgasm.  

Every year on September 4th, the world comes together to celebrate World Sexual Health Day, a globally recognized event dedicated to raising awareness about sexual health and well-being. This year, the theme is consent.

Menopause is often cause for dismay for women, especially when it is perceived as an end. An end to menstruation, but also an end to our self identity as fertile women capable of childbearing. Even if we have no interest in childbearing! 

Feeling comfortable with your own body is just one part of embracing life, self-discovery and empowerment. Cliovana™ believes every woman should have a healthy relationship with her own sexuality, including self-satisfaction.

For some women, their inability to achieve and maintain arousal  leads to an impact on libido, and, when it persists it becomes self-perpetuating as women pull further away from engagement in sexual intimacy. This phenomenon is known as the Arousal Deficit Cycle.

Women, at least some of them, have intuitively understood  the power of the clitoris in sex, but only in the last century did the scientific community start to dig into the complex anatomy and physiology behind this extraordinary experience.

New studies have finally shed some light on the numerous physical, emotional, and psychological benefits that women can experience through orgasm. More than just feeling great, orgasms actually play a huge part in overall wellness and self-empowerment.

Most of us have an intuitive sense that there may be a “pleasure gap”, or a difference in satisfaction experienced by men and women during sex. It turns out, it’s not just a hunch, there is a significant gap between what many women would like out of sex and what they’re getting.

Vaginal dryness is common and yet often an overlooked condition that affects many women at various life stages, but what exactly is vaginal dryness and how could a treatment like Cliovana™ help?
