Sorry “Mean Girls,” but Coach Carr had it all wrong: sex isn’t the problem, it’s the solution. There are few things in life that boost your endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin levels faster (and more enjoyably) than an orgasm. And because our brains don’t release that kind of happy-chemical surge for just anything, it’s worth exploring all the feel-good ways to help you get there.
It’s not always easy. As someone who has reported on sex for more than six years, I know that finding the right pleasure products feels a lot like landing a Beyoncé tour presale code: rare, but also life-altering. That’s exactly what we wanted to capture when selecting our winners for Popsugar’s very first 2025 Feel-Good Awards. This year, our team tested 2,138 products spanning our five core categories of sex, beauty, health, fitness, and home to find the items that met our rigorous mood-boosting criteria.
As Popsugar’s resident sex expert, that meant I, along with other enthusiastic staffers, had the pleasure (pun intended) of testing dozens of submissions to select this year’s sex winners. From a vibrator that spared us from texting our exes out of boredom to lube that practically lived on our nightstands, ahead we give you the five sex products that had us begging for MORE, MORE, MORE!
