What exactly does a sexologist do?
Mal Harrison, founder of the Center for Erotic Intelligence and former advice columnist and resident sexologist for the Museum of Sex, studies human sexuality as a science and shares her findings with the world. From her TEDx talks to her groundbreaking research about the internal structure of the clitoris, she speaks and writes about the anatomy of pleasure and the complexities of eroticism.
After her talk at Cycles + Sex entitled "Finally — The Female Orgasm," Harrison sat down with INSIDER and shared her professional product recommendations to help people have better sex. Here are four must-have items.
Kegel exercise tracker
The pubococcygeus (PC) muscles control urine flow and hold pelvic organs in place, but they're also the muscles that contract during climax. Giving them a workout increases blood flow to the area, resulting in stronger contractions and more intense orgasms.
Kegel trackers like Elvie guide users through the strengthening exercises and record their progress.
"I'm really happy they've come on the market," said Harrison.
Unbound jewelry
Unbound's collection of chic jewelry is useful, too. From dainty charms that double as lubricant vials to decorative massage rings, their pieces can easily transition from day to night.
"Unbound is one of my absolute favorite companies," said Harrison.
Organic lube
Lubricants with fragrances and harsh chemicals can irritate sensitive skin. Harrison recommends using organic products.
"I don't want to use lube with chemicals in it," she said. "I want to use organic lube companies, stuff that I know is safe."
