LOS ANGELES — Lovense has published the results of a survey on men’s reluctance to explore prostate pleasure.
The survey analyzed over 10,000 posts and comments across major men's wellness communities online.
According to a rep, key finding number one was that 18.3% of those surveyed cited “not knowing how to talk about it with a partner” as their single biggest barrier. The second key finding was that identity and social concerns surpass physical discomfort as blockers at roughly a three-to-one ratio; fear of being perceived as gay or bisexual, concern that it conflicts with straight male identity, and worry about feeling less masculine collectively dwarf fear of pain — which ranked as the single biggest barrier for fewer than one in ten respondents.
Finally, key finding number three was that almost 40% of respondents wanted education on the subject to increase their confidence; beginner-friendly guides, clear safety information, and more mainstream discussion to normalize the topic — all ranked above product features or pricing.
“Partner involvement is simultaneously the greatest accelerator and the greatest barrier,” said the rep. “When partners engage positively with prostate stimulation devices, user satisfaction increases dramatically — the dataset's single most-upvoted post (2,607 votes) described a session that was interrupted by a curious girlfriend, turning a private moment into a shared discovery.”
