MAFS fan favourite Ella has spoken candidly about a past sex toy addiction, claiming that it made her “desensitised to anything from a man.”
Ella broached the subject on her podcast Sit With Us that she hosts with co-star Domenica and issued a warning about the overuse of sex toys. Ella told her co-host that she fell into a routine of using her vibrator “six times a night” for “five years straight”.
“It was like a secret obsession of mine. I used to get so excited to get into bed and spend time with it,” the podcast host explained.
“Before I would go on a date I would get off. I became addicted to it, heavily reliant on it. And the settings heavily increased.
“So you gotta be careful, because I basically made my cl*t desensitised to anything from a man.”
Ella warned listeners that the overuse of powerful sex toys made her incapable of enjoy sex without them and said she had to consciously take a step from using any devices.
“I had to put it away. I said to myself, you have to stop using this, because it was making it harder to be with a man with no toy,” she said.

“I actually put it away for two or three years, and I started to take it back a notch, because I needed to get that sensitivity back and go manual.”
However, Ella said that she slowly began reintroducing sex toys into her life and now has a healthy relationship with them.
“Self-love is broad”, Ella explained. “It could be spending the day alone and booking a spa day. Or lighting candles and reading an erotic book and getting lost in my imagination.
“Or it could be running a bath and using oils to relax with meditation music on. It really is anything that involves just me, myself and I.”
