Sex toy statistics: the down low on who's using what

used a sex toy.

-50% were in their 20s when they first tried a sex toy.

-20% of women report masturbating at least once a week. Of those women, 60% use a sex toy.

-Women who report masturbating score higher on a self-esteem index than women who don't report masturbating. (This may not mean that masturbation makes you a happier person, but that women who are sexually liberated enough to admit to masturbating are more comfortable with themselves).

-The world’s most expensive sex toy is a white gold dildo encrusted with 117 diamonds and is worth $55,000.

-The world’s oldest dildo is around 28,000 years old, 11 inches long, and made from siltstone.

-23% of adults around the world have used sex toys during sex.

-20% of men report using a vibrator.

-78% of women who use or have used a sex toy said they were also in a relationship.

-Women who use sex toys report experiencing more frequent orgasms and greater satisfaction with their partners than women who don’t.

-Mississippi buys more anal toys per capita than any other state. (Could this be a consequence of Christian women retaining their vaginal virginity through anal sex?)

-Alaska buys the most sex toys per capita. (This is a no brainer. It's freaking cold. You're trapped inside all day. What the hell else are you going to do but play with toys).[image-1]
