what percentage of couples use sex toys
Recently, I was discussing with some friends about how much couples use sex toys these days. I think I was a bit surprised to hear how involved people are in using these devices to spice up their sex lives. After all, I had personally never really given much thought to the topic.
At first, I couldn’t quite wrap my head around why couples would use them. I mean, I’d heard of products like vibrators and dildos but it seemed a bit strange to me. Then, my friends started sharing all the reasons they used sex toys with their partners and it made me realize how beneficial they can be for couples.
My one friend said that using a dildo was like having a third person in their bedroom. It was something that excited them both and they often used it to try new positions and even role-play. Another friend said that their vibrator had opened up the door to lots of sexual exploration for them. She felt like it had improved her sex life with her partner because it allowed them to feel more comfortable talking about sex and exploring different areas.
I was intrigued and wondered what percentage of couples actually use sex toys. After a bit of research it turns out that of the surveyed couples, 17% said that they own and use sex toys. This was pretty astonishing to me as I had certainly not expected the percentage to be that high.
Then I started to think about the wide range of different sex toys available for couples. There seem to be so many different types available, such as: cock rings, anal beads, bullets, love balls, strap-ons, jiggle balls, PROPS, mock oral sex devices, prostate massagers and even male masturbators. With so many different products available, it’s no wonder why so many couples are trying out new types of sex toys.
These days, there are also couples sex toy parties being thrown all over. I have had the pleasure of attending a few in the past few years and it has been really interesting to see how different couples interact with each other when discussing their sex toys and using them. It’s always really educational to hear about what turns them on and makes them feel amazing.
I think that the idea of couples using sex toys together is something to be embraced. Allowing yourself to explore new sensations and arousals is so important in a healthy relationship. So why not give it a go and see how it can enhance your sex life?
