… Medical experts raise alarm over rising health risks linked to the use of sex toys as Nigerians increasingly embrace artificial pleasure devices.
Health experts have warned of the growing dangers associated with the use of sex toys, cautioning Nigerians—especially youths and women—against what they described as an unhealthy sexual trend that could cause severe medical, emotional, and psychological complications.
According to findings gathered by All Facts Newspaper, medical professionals have expressed concern over the increasing use of sex toys across Nigeria, especially as online stores and social media platforms promote them as “safe alternatives” for sexual satisfaction.
Doctors and public health experts, however, insist that many of these products are unsafe, as most are made from toxic materials such as silicone compounds, latex, or plasticizers that can cause infections, tissue irritation, hormonal disruption, and in some cases, internal injuries when not properly cleaned or used excessively.
During an Ifenkili episode, a specialist explained that continuous use of these devices can desensitize sexual nerves, reduce natural pleasure response, and lead to psychological dependence. “We are beginning to see more patients with internal lacerations, infections, and hormonal imbalances linked to frequent use of sex toys,” she said.
Psychologists also warn that overreliance on sex toys can result in emotional detachment, sexual addiction, and relationship breakdowns, as users may gradually prefer artificial stimulation over natural intimacy.
Authorities are calling for public awareness and regulation of the importation and sale of such products, stressing that the long-term consequences on physical and mental health could be devastating.
