On Netflix, you can now watch the Swedish film “Året jag slutade prestera och började onanera” (The Year I Started Masturbating). In the film, Katia Winter (from Dexter and Sleepy Hollow) plays the successful Hanna with a busy job. Her relationship is strained and in order to give more time to her boyfriend and child, she quits her job (under pressure from her boyfriend). But the boyfriend breaks up with her and puts her out on the street. With no job and no home, she meets young Liv (played by singer Vera Carlbom), who advises her to listen to her vagina more.
Don’t expect steamy sex from this film. Rather, it’s a shamelessly lighthearted romcom. The moral of the story is thin, but certainly not untrue: masturbating makes you produce all kinds of happy hormones and you relax. As a result, you become happier. And that is exactly what happens to the main character.
But which toy does Hanna use?
Liv sends Hanna a link to a sex toy she recommends. The film doesn’t pay much attention to it, but of course I immediately noticed that it is the LELO Sila.
The LELO Sila is an air pressure toy that works on 60Hz sound waves. It has 8 modes and is made of body-safe silicone. As you would expect from this premium brand, it is luxuriously made and has a great soft feel.
Sila was LELO’s answer to the Womanizer in 2020. The Sila is distinguished by its large opening and sound wave technology. Because the Sila is 100% waterproof, you can also use it in the shower or bath and the thing is easy to clean.
With a full battery, you can play with this whisper-quiet toy for 2 hours.
Want to experience what brought Hanna closer to herself? Then maybe the LELO Sila is for you. It is available at Bol.com, among other places.
