Given the current obsession with optimising every aspect of our health, it was only a matter of time until the conversation seriously turned to sex. The World Health Organisation emphasises how sexual health is intertwined with “physical, emotional, mental and social wellbeing”, and longevity experts are placing sexual wellness (anything from emotions and pleasure, to hormones and bodily mechanics) at the forefront of the quest for peak performance. Destination resorts SHA Wellness Clinic and Six Senses hotels have launched specialist sexual wellbeing retreats. And networking events such as Summit and Harvest are hosting sexual wellbeing sessions, mindful perhaps that the sexual wellness industry is estimated to reach a value of $92bn by 2032. It all sounds more fun than an ice bath.
鉴于当前对优化我们健康各方面的痴迷，性健康的讨论迟早会变得严肃。世界卫生组织(World Health Organisation)强调性健康与‘身体、情感、心理和社会福祉’密切相关，长寿专家正将性福祉（包括情感、快乐、荷尔蒙和身体机制）置于追求巅峰表现的前沿。SHA Wellness Clinic和Six Senses酒店等度假胜地已推出专门的性福祉静修。同时，如Summit和Harvest等活动也在举办性福祉会议，这可能是因为预计到2032年性福祉产业的市场价值将达到920亿美元。这一切听起来比冰浴更有趣。
