Ben Wa Balls: Secret Pleasures

By Ekaterina Mironova

Ben Wa Balls, or duo balls, are the secret pleasures of the sex toy world. They’re surreptitious, sensual and stimulating and can be used in broad daylight for the most fun with your clothes on! They’re a simple addition to your daily routine that can enhance your sexual stimulation, improve your sex drive and promote muscle tone of the pelvic floor. They’re affordable too with the average set of Ben Wa Balls retailing at just over £5. You get a number of different varieties made from materials like rubber or silicon, or balls that vibrate for added pleasure. And let’s face it: a sex toy you can use all day? Where do we sign up!

Ben Wa Balls consist of two golf-ball-sized balls which are linked together by a looped string. Each ball contains a weight which rolls around freely inside the larger ball. They can be used for vaginal or anal stimulation, and, once inserted, create a weighted stimulation as you move around. They’re an incredibly versatile sex toy, whether you use them at work as you walk around the office, wear them while walking around the supermarket doing your daily shopping, or slip them in for extra stimulation during sexual activities. They might not look like much but these balls are a girl’s best friend if you’re interested in better sex tonight.

Historically, Ben Wa Balls have been used for centuries for pelvic strengthening exercises to increase vaginal elasticity in women and to promote longer erections in men. The weights inside the ball are generally very light but heavier weights can be used as the vaginal muscles become stronger. Tantric studies encourage the use of Ben Wa Balls to control sexual excitement so that you can better explore your sensual side. If it’s good enough for a 2500-year old religion, it’s good enough for us too. Besides, with some tantric practices encouraging ecstasy-building, knee-buckling sex that lasts weeks, what are you waiting for?
