A newly-single woman has reportedly 'broken' her vagina after using her vibrator as many as six times a day, ignoring several warnings from her doctor.
After splitting from her husband, Nadia Bokody was looking for a way to meet her needs, and bought a Rampant Rabbit sex toy - made famous by the HBO television show Sex and the City - for that exact reason. And after the dissolution of her marraige, Bokody said she fell in love with her new gadget.
"It had been a long time since I'd had sex. But I wasn't entirely ready to be intimate with someone new, so after some research online I decided to purchase a vibrator," Bokody, from Australia, explained to Mirror Online.
"I became obsessed with using it and the ease and speed at which it allowed me to feel pleasure again after months in a sexless marriage. It was incredibly liberating and empowering to really take control of my sexuality in that way for the first time in my adult life."
But soon, the old adage of never having too much of a good thing was put to the test. Struggling with pelvic pain, Bokody went to the doctor to test for STIs, but each test came back clear. It was only after a series of questions that doctors discovered the true cause of her pain: the sex toy.
After a couple of weeks of using my new adult plaything, I started experiencing some pelvic pain and was hobbling around the office. Not making the connection, I went to the doctor to find out what was wrong.”
Nadia confessed that she used it around six times a day, which amounts to around 42 sessions a week. "The doctor started asking some questions and that’s when I realised the pain had been the result of me over-using my vibrator!" she explained. "It was equal parts embarrassing and hilarious."
Banned from using the vibrator so her vagina could heal, Nadia has an important message for other women looking to explore their sexuality: a message of moderation. "The main thing to keep in mind when trying something new is to start out slow - I learnt the lesson the hard way not to use the turbo setting on your first go, and not to get too carried away!" she said.
Despite her experience, Nadia says she's far from burned out with her sex toy - rather, it's helped her to expand her horizons even further. "Sex toys are a great way to explore new fantasies and sensations, both on your own and with a partner, and provided you buy from a reputable retailer like I did, they’re really safe," she explained.
Bokody not only uses her platform to help encourage her 40,000+ followers to love the bodies they're in, but also campaign to keep abortion legal, and the right for women to embrace their sexuality without feeling threatened, writing in one post: "Let's stop dehumanising women who dare to own their sexuality."
A sex therapist has revealed how a man reacted after he lost his virginity to her.
Kaly Miller, 52, is a mom-of-four who has been a sex surrogate for 15 years and has seen it all during her time in the industry.
Speaking to The Sun, she claimed that she'd even helped a Hollywood actor overcome his sex addiction and coached polyamorous couples.
After making the move from being a masseuse to being a surrogate partner, the mother said that she made the decision so she could earn enough to give her children the life they deserved.
After sleeping with between 300 and 400 people, it's fair to say that she is an expert on the topic, and within three months, she had sexual relations with her first client, a single man in his 60s.
He was a virgin, and after a month of working with him, they made love, and he would go on to have a relationship, as she started to understand the impact of her job.

Virgin's first words after seeing her vagina
Kaly explained that she insists on clients having a minimum of three sessions and a maximum of 10 to make sure that no romantic attachment is formed to her.
She usually goes to the gym or does yoga before seeing a client, admitting that since she has turned 50, she has to look her best.
"I see a dermatologist, and of course I regularly do Kegel exercises to keep my pelvic floor muscles tight," she told the publication.
Reflecting on one of her more memorable moments, she remembered when a virgin client saw her vagina, the first he had ever seen.
He said: “It’s marvellous!”
"I love the color and the texture," he added, but she admitted to thinking: “I’ve had sex for 30 years and not once has a partner admired me the way this guy has.”
Other wholesome moments also included the time she helped a man with autism have sex for the first time, after his parents used to bring him to sessions.
“Thank you for making him experience life as a man outside of his challenges,” she remembered his father saying to her.
Kaly explained: "My job has also helped me realize that sex can be incredibly powerful, rather than shallow or mediocre."

How does the job work?
She meets potential clients on Zoom to find out why they want to see her, also analyzing body language to "spot unsuitable people who think they can just turn up and have sex with me."
Kaly horrifyingly claimed: "One time, a man was naked. I turned off my camera and told him that’s not what I’m here for."
After they complete a consent form and paperwork, prices start from £250 ($330) for an in-person session which lasts an hour, or £1,250 ($1,700) for a day session of five hours.
She stated: "If a client is a virgin, the ultimate aim is for us to have sex."
"If they’re female, I can pass them on to a trusted male sex surrogate when they’re ready," Kaly said.
Clients must also provide a recent STD test and use condoms - she also clarified that she does not work with couples when she touches them, focusing on coaching them how to touch each other.
A woman has shared a truly baffling story that saw the police being called to her home after her roommate "borrowed" her vibrator without permission.
Now, anybody who has ever lived with roommates will attest that disagreements occur. When I lived with my friends at college, we would often argue over petty things like milk or plates... but I'd have probably drawn the line at sex toys.
However, that's exactly the situation one woman found herself in, as she took to TikTok to share what happened.
Max (@modmaxxx), from Miami, Florida, revealed that the horrifying ordeal even led to the cops being called to the house in order to take her roommate away.
In the video, which has since amassed more than 2.4 million views, Max explains that she had been staying at her parents' home for a couple of weeks before returning to the home she shares with her roommate.
The next day, she says: "I wake up and I go to my bedside drawer. I open my drawer and this is where my vibrator always is... suddenly it's not there."
After searching a few other places around her room, she eventually decides to search her roommate's room. "I go into her room, I go to her bedside drawer, I open it... my vibrator is there," Max says.
Baffled, Max says she tried to convince herself that the pair just happened to have the same brand and color of toy.
"Mine just must be misplaced," she told herself at the time. "I just don't believe that anybody could ever do anything like that."
However, as you're about to find out, somebody really could do something like that...
After consulting a few of her girlfriends about the situation, Max decided to take a photo of the toy in her roommate's draw and mark it with a small dot using an eyeliner pen. By doing this, Max said that there was no way her roommate could try and argue that there were two if it suddenly appeared back in her drawer.
In an effort to give her roommate a chance to return the toy, Max popped out of the house for 30-40 minutes and left her bedroom door wide open. When she returned home, she immediately went up to her room to check if the vibrator had returned.
Lo and behold, it was back.
"I go up to my room, close the door, I open the drawer, it is f***ing there and it has the dot," Max recalls.
In a follow-up video, Max said that she no longer felt safe in the house, saying: "I don’t feel safe anymore, like who am I living with? I just want to get out of there."
Encouraged by her parents to confront her roommate over texts, Max's roommate swiftly denied the accusations.
"Now, not only am I living with this weirdo who did that, but now she’s lying," Max said in the follow-up video.
After the roommate said that she had some friends over one night and maybe one of them moved the toy, Max ordered her roommate to pack a bag and move out.
"I now find an entire page about her and her mom which is just, not good," Max said. Although she didn't go into details about what information she discovered, Max said that she swiftly informed her parents, who agreed to come and help her move out the next day.
In order to be safe, Max's parents also called the police to ask for an escort while they were moving their daughter's belongings out of the house. After informing the authorities of the situation, Max says that six officers arrived to help mediate the situation.
And despite telling her now-ex-roommate never to contact her, Max later received a message saying that she was trying to "frame" her roommate in a effort to break the lease and move out early.
As you can probably imagine, Max's story swiftly went viral on TikTok, and here are just some of the best replied she had:

Sex is a normal part of life and any relationship. Whether you're married, in a long-term relationship, or just looking for a bit of fun - sex is often an enjoyable activity for any two (or more) people.
However, for 26-year-old Jillian Currie, her sex life has become "virtually non-existent" over the last six years, as a result of a string of gynecological conditions that she has suffered with since she lost her virginity at 16.
Jillian, of Buckinghamshire, England, now fears that she will never have a successful romance, due to the fact sex can cause her vagina to tear "as if she has given birth" - the pain of which leaves her struggling to walk.

Since starting mysteriously, Jillian's condition has left medical experts baffled, and now she is sharing her story to help banish taboos surrounding vaginal conditions and let other women with issues know they are not alone.
Speaking to Press Association, Jillian says: "There’s a stereotype that women have a lower sex drive than men, but that isn’t always the case. I’ve wanted to do it, but not been able to – then I end up feeling frustrated that I can’t satisfy the other person.
"I can’t help feeling like there is a difference in the way men and women’s bodies are treated in medicine. Woman are expected to just suffer in silence, and a lot of the time, we aren’t even properly taught about our own bodies.
"It’s so hard not to lose faith, but I really want to encourage others out there to be persistent and keep pushing for an answer. You know your own body, so trust in yourself."

Sharing her views on her personal blog, Queens of Eve, Jillian revealed how her vaginal issues started when she lost her virginity back in 2010 - around the same time she was fitted with a contraceptive implant.
She recalls the implant causing irregular bleeding, which did not settle as her body struggled to adapt to the surge of hormones.
Jillian was then placed on a version of the Pill - but this only exacerbated her symptoms, This, combined with the various hormones lead to the e-commerce worker suffering from anxiety.

After doctors took her off contraception in 2011, things seemed relatively normal. That was, until 2014, when a 20-year-old Jillian – who was then in a relationship – started to mysteriously tear the skin of her perineum (the area between the legs) every time she had sex, leaving her in agony.
She said: "I’d be left with a deep cut, right where women usually tear when they give birth. It was every time I’d have sex and often it would be so painful that I’d have to stop.
"I was in a relationship at the time, but it obviously had an impact as, not only was I not able to be intimate as much as I’d like, but I also lost all my confidence."
In addition to the tearing, Jillian also experienced an extremely heavy discharge, forcing her to wear/change several maxi pads a day. She continued:
"I felt disgusting. I didn’t want anyone to touch me, so I basically stopped having sex. I know different bodies produce different amounts, but this wasn’t my normal.
"I know my own body and knew something had changed, but every time I went to the doctor, I was told it was probably simple like thrush or bacterial vaginosis – another common gynecological condition – and was given medication."
However, these prescribed tablets had very little effect, and Jillian started to fear she was suffering from life-threatening conditions like cervical cancer. At 24 years old, Jillian was able to convince doctors to perform a smear test - despite her being under the age limit in the UK. Thankfully, cancer was ruled out.
Although, the smear test did reveal that Jillian had ectropions - where cells from inside the cervical canal are present outside instead - which is known to cause bleeding, discharge, and pain during or after sex.

In June of 2018, she had the ectropions removed, a procedure that finally gave Jillian hope. But sadly, just five months later, her symptoms returned even worse than before.
"This time, I at least knew what to look for, so I went straight back to the gynecologist, who found two more ectropions", she said, adding: "In November 2018 I had a LEEP procedure, where an electrical wire loop scrapes and burns off the cells, while I was sedated, and, thankfully, that side of things seems to have been under control since."
Per her doctor's advice, Jillian came off the contraceptive Pill, but doctors were still nonethewiser as to why her skin kept tearing. The intimate area has now become so sensitive that she battles pain most days, sometimes struggling to use tampons and being unable to wear certain styles of underwear for fear of irritation.
Jillian said: "It’s been six years of absolute hell. I must have seen around 20 different gynecologists, as well as lots of other doctors like dermatologists, sexual health and allergy specialists.
"At one point, I was even told it might be psychological – but, while I understand that there may be an element of anxiety, I don’t think it’s the whole story. It wouldn’t explain why my skin physically tears."
"I’ve had allergy tests in case it was a reaction to something like an ingredient in my sanitary products, countless scans, and even a vulval biopsy – but nothing provided any answers.
"It got to the point where all I wanted was a diagnosis. Even if it was something bad, at least then I would know what I was dealing with and what my treatment options were."
In early 2019, Jilliam was once again offered a glimmer of hope, all thanks to a steroid cream. "I’d found one steroid cream that sort of worked, if I used it days and days in advance of having sex", she said, adding: "But then I figured I couldn’t live that way. For one thing, it would take any spontaneity out of having sex, but I also didn’t want to be using steroid creams long term on such a sensitive area.
"Plus, although it improved things, I was still tearing so it hadn’t completely resolved it."

Not willing to give up, Jillian went to see a sexual health expert who referred her to a specialist at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. During her appointment in December 2019, Jillian was finally given a diagnosis of vulvodynia - a chronic pain condition that affects the vagina.
It was certainly a relief to finally be able to put a name to her troubles, but the reason why Jillian’s skin is so fragile and prone to tearing still remains a mystery.
One suggestion is vaginal atrophy - a condition in which the vaginal walls thin or inflame, sometimes as a result of a lack of estrogen. In an attempt to combat this, Jillian is now taking a course of hormonal treatment, but is still waiting to see results.
"The vulvodynia diagnosis is a definite, but the atrophy is still a maybe," she said, "I just have to keep going with the treatment and see what happens."

Currently single, Jillian is fearful that she will never be able to have sex again if her condition does not improve.
"I have been in a couple of relationships while going through this, as well as periods of being single, but I would say my sex life for the past six years has been more or less non-existent.
"Knowing what I’m missing out on has had an impact on my confidence and mental health.
"Now, I almost panic if I’m talking to guy and it starts to get flirty, because I know at some point I will have to tell him that I cannot have sex as easily as other people can. Wondering when and how to bring it up is a challenge.
"Luckily, nobody has been nasty, and I suppose if they were, that’s not somebody I would want around."

Despite her unrelenting health issues, Jillian is still trying to stay positive - throwing herself into Queens of Eve, where attempts to help the many women that message her every single day:
"Through Queens of Eve, I try my best to be there for other women. It can be so difficult to find an answer for some gynecological problems.
"I’m happy to share my story because I want to help other women – my Instagram page is like a help hub – where women who have gynecological issues can speak to fellow suffers and learned that whatever they’re going through isn’t a taboo.
"A lot of the help out there seems to be geared towards older women, focusing on things like menopause and childbirth, or we’re simply given some drugs, or a form of contraception that can cause all sorts of other issues and told to get on with it.
"The underlying issue is that women aren’t properly taught about their own bodies. I’ve been on a wild goose chase for a decade now, and had no idea half of these conditions existed."

By being so open and honest about her own struggles, Jillian is hoping to reassure others that they should not be embarrassed about their bodies and seek medical help for conditions that were once considered "taboo":
"I understand that women can have insecurities, or feel a little uncomfortable going to the doctors about certain things, but there is no such thing as a normal body, and I really want to help break that taboo.
"Now, I want to put myself out there to show how many women are suffering like me.
"If I’d had read a story like mine a few years ago, I’d have felt far less alone."
A woman has opened up in a recent interview about her so-called "addiction to orgasms" and how it has affected her life.
Speaking to The Sun, 23-year-old Amy Matthews struggles in life to contain orgasms; having them in public, in front of her parents, and describes herself as "addicted" to the sensation, having several a day.
Amy, a dance teacher who hails from Oxford in England, regularly climaxes nine times during sex, but claims that her orgasm record is 18 in one sexual session.
Her first sexual encounter at the age of 15 was apparently nothing special, but when she started exploring her own sexuality more and with a partner at the age of 18, her sex drive escalated massively.
Amy says that, as she became more in touch with her body, she began orgasming more and more to curtail the chronic pain she experienced as a result of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, her polycystic ovary syndrome, and through the body-shaming, she received from a teacher.
Amy also used orgasming as a way to manage stress and anxiety in her life, to bring herself down from regular panic attacks.
But now Amy says that she finds it difficult to contain her libido - orgasming the instant she sees someone she's attracted to, or coming close to fainting during sex due to the intensity of her climaxes.
After being referred to a college counselor for sex addiction therapy to cope with her dependency on orgasms. Now she can control her sexual urges at work but claims that multiple orgasms are still the first thing she gets out of the way upon returning him.
Speaking to The Sun, Amy stated: "There was a lot of drama going on in my life and I started to suffer anxiety.
"Each time I had a panic attack, I found having an orgasm could help calm me down. The feeling of release was addictive and that’s when I started orgasming more regularly.
"One time, I had stormed out of a classroom, I sat down in the corridor and had one. While I don’t think I made any noise or blushed, God knows what other students must have thought seeing me sitting there. But it definitely made me less stressed."

She continued: "If I had a panic attack, the orgasm relief was better if I’d had physical sex — but I could feel emotionally worse afterward. At one stage I was having lots of sexual partners.
"I wouldn’t say the number of guys I have slept with was into three figures but it isn’t far off.
"With my third boyfriend, when I was 21, I had the best sex. The most memorable time was when I had a full-body climax. I couldn’t breathe. It lasted for ages. It was like being on a rollercoaster when the ride keeps going up. You want it to be over because you can’t take it anymore."
Amy added: "I’ve got a high sex drive and I prefer to see guys casually. I only sleep with them on two or three occasions."
She admits that she doesn't want a long-term relationship, and that she just "needs" to orgasm regularly. In fact, she says that some men are scared off by how regularly she can climax.
Pondering why she is so susceptible to orgasms, Amy believes it is from the "extra testosterone" in her body from her polycystic ovary syndrome.
A sex expert has weighed in on the number of times a week couples should be having sex - and their verdict has left many people stunned.
Sex is often an important part of a relationship, but the topic of how often people get freaky between the sheets can leave people divided.
Now, there's no right or wrong answer as everyone's different - some couldn't imagine a day without it, while others prefer to get jiggy once in a blue moon - but an expert has shared what the optimal amount may be.
Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and sex expert with over 20 years of experience helping couples tackle issues within their sex lives, revealed all on the Diary of a CEO podcast.

Dr Gurney explained that "one of the big myths" people often believe - and thus compare themselves to - is the frequency of sex, explaining that while "everyone says three times a week", that is nothing more than an "urban myth".
She explained: "It's actually drastically different than that, the average times people in the UK and it's replicated around the world.
"What's fascinating is we're using frequency as a yardstick of a good sex life. There's no correlation between the frequency of sex and sexual satisfaction.
"You could be having sex once a year that completely blows your socks off, makes you feel alive, makes you feel super connected, that's really exploratory where you lose yourself in it.
"That is better than having sex once a day where you're not enjoying it, your mind's not in it, it's not pleasurable, you're feeling disconnected. You're feeling awkward."
She revealed that the average British couple is actually having sex around three times a month on average, but the difference in couples varies greatly.
Some couples reported that they hadn't had sex in months "and were quite happy with that" while there was also "plenty of people having sex more".
She also noted that most of the respondent wanted to be having "more sex, better sex" than they were currently having, but added that the pressure to perform or meet a perceived expectation ended up making sex worse in relationships.
"Pressure is a total passion killer," she revealed, adding that issues with communication were also creating problems in the bedroom.
Dr Gurney added that the amount of sex people were having doesn't actually matter or need to live up to anyone else's tally as long as the sex you're having works for the couple themselves.
So it's time to stop comparing your frequency to others as long as you and your partner are happy with what you've got going on.
