But while sexual wellness is the ideal, getting in the mood isn’t always easy. Sexual desire is something that naturally decreases for women as they approach menopause and estrogen levels decline: 68 to 86.5% of postmenopausal women1 report sexual difficulties like low libido. Surprisingly, other studies show that younger women are also struggling with sexual desire: 48% of premenopausal women, ages 21 to 49, have reported a lower sex drive than usual. On top of that, research reflects that sexual behavior has decreased for women and men since the pandemic. So what gives? Furthermore, the release of stress hormones2 actually messes with our body’s ability to release hormones that control reproduction and sexual response. As we know, sexual arousal is all about getting the blood flowing, but chronic stress activates the sympathetic nervous system2 and is literally counterproductive for blood flow throughout our entire body (most notably our erogenous zones). In other words—stress isn’t just a mental block, it’s full-on physiological. Stress is one of the leading causes of decreased libido for women, so Desire Gummies work to support our mental state through a powerful blend of desire-boosting ingredients.* They’re formulated with Sensoril® ashwagandha leaf and root extract, a botanical that is clinically shown to support stress management3, mood4, and strength5.* But they also include L-theanine to promote relaxation6, shatavari to help with hormonal balance7, and mucuna, an aphrodisiac that preclinical research suggests plays a role in dopamine production8.* Ultimately, stress support is libido support… And Dr. Holly agrees: “Dame’s gummies are unique in the market because they tackle the core issues of low desire, which studies show is stress. The natural, active ingredients support relaxation and stress reduction. Other ingredients target increased mood, which directly impacts how connected to their partner a woman feels.”* These gummies are a simple and fun way to prioritize pleasure on the regular, but there are a few other ways you can take desire even further. While Desire Gummies certainly light the spark of desire, Dame’s sexual wellness products can help keep things burning. Whether it’s the EvaⓇ, a wearable clitoral vibrator designed to enhance partner play, or the Aer™, a powerful arousal tool for fans of oral stimulation—these toys can help you cultivate a relationship with pleasure that keeps you coming back for more. With accessories like their Arousal Serum or Aloe Lube, think of Dame as your one-stop shop for reinvigorating your sexual wellness with desire and passion—whether you’re with a partner or flying solo. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
