Men's Wellness Month

Men’s Health Month is here, which only means one thing: it’s time to stress the importance of health for men everywhere.

The issue of men’s health is no small matter. According to the CDC, men live an average of five years less than their female counterparts. Thanks to societal pressure, men’s health is often overlooked or neglected. 

Of course, health isn’t always just about regular checkups at the doctor. Sexual health is just as important. From body image to sexual anatomy to healthy masturbation, sexual wellness has an important role.

That’s why JIMMYJANE is putting the spotlight on men’s health. Join us as we explore how we can celebrate the men in our lives by prioritizing their health this month and beyond. 

Why Is Men’s Health Month So Important?

When looking at the statistics, there’s a big question: Why is there such a disparity between women’s and men’s health?

Well, there isn’t a simple answer. 

Factors like lifestyle choices, stress, and societal pressure can lead to men neglecting their health. The thought of going to the doctor, getting regular preventative exams, or taking steps toward a healthier lifestyle can feel like admitting to weakness — not fitting the mold of a “real” man.

Did you know that 40% of men delay medical care when handling the sick? Seventeen percent even admitted to waiting “at least a week” before going to the doctor. 

That’s why we see many men suffering from physical and mental issues in their lives. And yes, that goes for sexual wellness too. Improving your physical, mental, and sexual health can increase your longevity and quality of life. 

Common Health Issues Affecting Men 

So what kind of issues are we looking to prevent? Here are some of the screening tests recommended for men: 

  • Blood pressure 
  • Colon cancer 
  • Skin cancer 
  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm 
  • Depression
  • Type 2 diabetes 
  • Lipid disorders 
  • STDs

Screening is the best way to get ahead of a potential issue so you can get treated immediately. But that isn’t the only preventative care for Men’s Health Month. Regular exercise, healthy diets, regular use of sunscreen, and stress-relieving activities can all play a role in improving your health. 

And of course, regular sexual activity can also help you stay at peak health. Did you know that frequent masturbation can lower your risk of developing prostate cancer?

It also comes with many other benefits, like strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, preventing erectile dysfunction, boosting immunity, improving skin, and helping you fall asleep at night. 

Ways To Celebrate Men’s Wellness Month

This June, it’s time to start making wellness a top priority for all men. Here are some of the best ways to celebrate Men’s Health Month

1. Focus on Empathy 

If you have men in your life — friends, brothers, fathers, and sons — showing them that you care about their health is another way to value them. Encourage the men around you to care for themselves and make wise choices to prevent and diagnose conditions early. 

Remember that it can be difficult for some men to prioritize their health. There’s a lingering stigma surrounding physical health issues, not to mention concepts like sex, body positivity, and masturbation. It can be hard to reach out for help. 

2. Wear Blue 

Wearing blue is one of the many ways to spread awareness about Men’s Health Month. By putting on a blue shirt, you can show the men in your life that you care about their health. It’s also a way to raise money for education on regular checkups for health issues that affect men.

Of course, it doesn’t have to stop there. Getting a blue toy (like a stroker, penis ring, sleeve, or more) can show your partner that you also care about their sexual health. It’s a great way to break down boundaries and encourage self-love in the bedroom.

3. Embrace Self Love

Sexual wellness is wellness, period. Regular masturbation can have many physical benefits, but it goes far beyond improving your bodily functions. 

When men begin to embrace themselves — and their bodies — in the bedroom, they can unlock the power of personal pleasure for physical, mental, and emotional wellness. It’s all about building a healthy relationship with sex, whether having a romp with a partner or exploring your body solo.

Why It’s Time To Make Men’s Wellness a Priority 

In today’s world, men’s health can become an afterthought. Due to a lack of awareness and continuing societal pressure, many men are hesitant to seek help.

This June, it’s time to stop putting men’s health aside. There’s never been a better time to encourage the men in your life to care for themselves and live their lives to the fullest.

  📖 5 min read 📅 Updated: March 4, 2026 👁️ 443 readers Vibrator guide What will I learn? Why Try a Vibrator Together? The Best Couple Vibrators How to Introduce Vibrators into Your Relationship Don’t Know Where to Start? Try the Bundle That Does It All TL;DR: Vibrators aren’t just for solo play. They can deepen connection, boost communication, and spice up your routine as a couple. Top picks for shared pleasure: Let’s set the record straight: vibrators aren’t just a solo act anymore. In fact, some of the best relationship moments happen when you hand your partner the remote (literally). Whether you're seasoned in the sheets or just starting to explore what turns you both on, bringing a toy into the mix can take things up a notch. So, what is the best vibrator for couples? Well, it depends on your vibe. From wearable toys that move with you to buzz-worthy bullets perfect for hands-on play, we’re breaking down our top picks for exploring together. Ready to turn up the heat? Let’s dive in. Why Try a Vibrator Together? Adding a vibrator into the mix isn’t about replacing anything—it’s about enhancing what you already have. Exploring toys together opens the door to deeper communication, shared curiosity, and yes, mind-blowing pleasure. It’s also a great way to discover fantasies you didn’t know you had (or were too shy to bring up). A well-placed buzz can unlock conversations and moments that bring you even closer, even outside the bedroom. The Best Couple Vibrators Evoke® Du-o Vibrating Massage Wheel This toy blends massage and vibration in a sleek wheel form, letting you glide it over skin (and curves) with control in both hands. How to use it together: Body mapping date: Take turns guiding the wheeled buzz over each other’s bodies—backs, thighs, necks. Explore “sweet spots” you didn’t even know were there. Synchronize rhythm with penetration: Use the Du-o on one partner’s sensitive areas while you’re having intercourse. The vibration can heighten sensations for both. Mirror play: Both of you use it on yourselves in front of a mirror or switch sides so you can see each other’s faces as those waves hit. Astra® Automatic Male Masturbator Don’t be fooled, this male masturbator isn’t just for solo play. For couples, it opens up possibilities for shared control, teasing, and synchronized pleasure. How to use it together: Tease & reward: Use light touching, kisses, or distraction while the Astra is doing its thing, then switch roles or bring in other toys. Mutual stimulation: The non-Astra partner can use hands, bullets, or external vibes on their own body while the Astra does its work—so both partners have something happening. Kore™ C-Ring with Remote Kore is a vibrating C‑ring (cock ring) that delivers stimulation to both partners. The strong vibration patterns add to the external stimulation to satisfy both your cravings. How to use it together: Wear-it-during penetration: The partner wearing it gets constriction plus vibration; the other partner will feel the vibration on internal or external contact points. Remote teasing: Let your partner sneak in vibration with a handy remote control while you’re doing something else, so you carry teasing anticipation to the bedroom. Rhythm play: Match your movements to the vibration pulses, switching tempo, thrusting, or pausing in sync with the toy. Chroma™ Mini Bullet (Teal) Tiny but mighty. This is one of the best bullet vibrators for couples because it packs a big punch in a tiny package. How to use it together: Added stimulation during sex: Slide it into positions where it can stimulate the clitoris, perineum, or inner thighs during penetration. Oral accompaniment: One partner holds the bullet while giving oral; adjust pressure and placement as they react. Teasing switcheroo: Use it for solo stimulation first, then hand over or share the control—swap who’s doing the “driving.” Ascend® 3 Palm Vibrator This one is designed to be held in the palm, giving you tactile control while maintaining eye contact and closeness. It’s ideal for guiding your partner’s pleasure while feeling grounded in touch. How to use it together: Palm-guided pleasure: You hold it and guide it directly to the other’s erogenous zones—labia, perineum, inner thighs—letting them feel your intention in every buzz. Face-to-face connection: Because your hand is occupied, your other hand is free to stroke, caress, or explore their body while you maintain gaze and verbal feedback. Switch-hold play: Take turns holding it on each other, so you alternate who’s in charge of where the vibration goes. Couple intimate in the bedroom How to Introduce Vibrators into Your Relationship Let’s be real—bringing up sex toys with a partner can feel a little vulnerable at first. But it doesn’t have to be a big talk. Sometimes all it takes is a simple, playful nudge:“What if we tried this tonight?” Start from a place of curiosity, not criticism. You’re not saying, “Something’s missing,” you’re saying, “Let’s have even more fun.” That’s sexy in itself. Here are a few tips to make your first foray feel exciting—not intimidating: Start slow. Choose something unintimidating (like a bullet or palm vibe) and play around together with no pressure to "perform." Think of it as an experiment with pleasure. Laugh through the awkward. Seriously, if something slips, buzzes in the wrong place, or makes a weird noise—laugh. It’s part of the fun. Awkwardness doesn’t kill intimacy; fear of it does. Let curiosity lead. Try the toy on your hand or neck first. Explore different speeds and settings together. Let it spark questions and shared discoveries. Keep the conversation open. Check in before, during, and after: “How did that feel for you?” or “Do you want to try the other setting next time?” Don’t Know Where to Start? Try the Bundle That Does It All Why settle for one of these toys when you can have all of the best vibrators for couples on hand?
