Has your doctor ever started a conversation with you about sexuality? Have you ever found yourself discussing the topic with your physician and found the conversation to be awkward or unhelpful? Doctors have so many things to learn that usually talking with patients about sexuality in a helpful way is not taught, leaving many physicians ignorant at best.In recent years, Babeland has been trying to remedy that, holding medical provider nights where we talk to physicians and nurses about our philosophy of sexuality and talk to them about the many ways in which Babeland can help their patients.As
Gothamist and
Details report, one physician in Manhattan apparently gets it - after finding that vibrators improved his sex life, he started selling sex toys out of his office! What does he have to say about all of this?
"Most physicians don't get where they are by doing things that are against the rules. By some of my colleagues, this might be ridiculed. You have to do what's right, and this is right for my patients."
If you were wondering what we here at Babeland think of all of this, we couldn't be more thrilled...
Babeland co-founder Claire Cavanah tells us, "Doctors are in a unique position of trust to work and this is a great opportunity to de-stigmatize sex toys. Babeland does a lot of work with medical providers to educate them about how toys can help their patients with medical conditions ranging from premature ejaculation to an inability to orgasm so we?re encouraged to see a doctor taking this on directly. It?s a good day for the sex-positivity!"
