In honor of national Day Letting Go of Stuff Day, which was yesterday on our calendar of obscure celebrations, we let go of the archaic notion that one has to commemorate a holiday when the man tells you to. So being the rebels we are, Happy Day After Letting Go of Stuff Day!

We’re also all about letting go of stress. You know how you can give yourself a foot or hand massage (or other parts you can reach) but it never feels quite as good as when someone else is doing it. Why is that?

The physical part may be the same but it lacks the disconnect, the part inside your brain that let’s you go freely to that happy place. No matter how hard you try, no matter how much you try to trick yourself, your brain still knows when it’s you.

For the most part, sex is the same. Masturbation is good but sex with someone else is usually better. What if there was something in between, something that could give you the illusion of having sex with someone else without the someone else, something that delivers the mental explosion that makes for a really true orgasm.

That’s because great sex is mostly in your head; yes, the big one. According to the professionals with the letters after their names, most of a good orgasm happens between the ears than below the waist.

A headline for a New York Times story touted that the “Biggest Sex Organ Is Still The Brain” while an article in the science pub Discover Magazine said research demonstrates “that sexual pleasure is not just a simple set of reflexes in the body.”

That’s why RealTouch was developed to stimulate both the mind and body, preparing the mind through whatever fantasy a man chooses at that moment – and there are thousands of choices – so that the physical stimulation pays off better.

In the chemistry set that is your body, it’s the brain that triggers the release of dopamine which is the principal neurochemical that activates our reward circuitry. The more dopamine, the greater the pleasure.

The Times article said that studies found male arousal, “is strongly visual, and when men engage in sexual activity or even anticipate it, brain structures once thought to have little connection to sex spring into action.”

According to sex therapist Ian Kerner, Ph D, a Today show contributor, “research shows that people with active fantasy lives are more sexually satisfied, more sexually responsive and more adventurous about sex in general.

That’s where the immersive experience of RealTouch kicks in. It’s like the IMAX™ of climax. Once the brain gets into the sight and sound of the sexual situation on screen, the real time coordination with the RealTouch device makes your mind forget the device and believe that it’s having an authentic sexual moment with that person on screen. Ain’t that great!

Images from a memory or a magazine, even a stimulating porn video by itself may be enough but there’s more to be had. You can be by yourself but still experience another (and given the scope of the RealTouch library, another and another and…)

So it’s along these lines, we’re also recommending letting go of the notion that sex is always a party for two (or more if you’re in a semi-successful rock band). Flying solo can be a wonderful experience.
