HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve has released the results of a new survey asking the question, “How many Americans own a sex toy?”
Among poll respondents, 37% said they owned a pleasure product, including 38% of females and 34% of males. This is a drop from 51% of respondents who said they owned a sex toy in a similar survey in 2018.
“Sex toys (usually vibrators, stimulators, dildos, penis rings, pumps or masturbators) are used to facilitate sexual pleasure alone or with a partner,” said Dr. Jenni Skyler, resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. “For many people, these toys make orgasm easier to attain. And for some, toys are the only way to achieve orgasm. I’m happy that toys are gaining wider acceptance and becoming recognized as sexual health and wellness accessories.”
The web-based survey of over 1,000 American adults aged 18 and up, conducted by an independent company, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
