More Women Using Sex Toys

This study called "The Health Benefits of Sexual Aids & Devices: A Comprehensive Study of their Relationship to Satisfaction and Quality of Life" by the Berman Institute didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. The study found that more women today are using sexual aids like sex toys to enhance their pleasure. The research has been around since 2004, when it was revealed at the second annual Women's Sexual Health Staet-Of-The-Art Series conference in conjunction with the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.

The following was listed as the purpose of the research:

* to produce an academic study in an underreported and emerging area of interest in women's sexuality,

* to determine the instance of use of sexual aids and devices,

* to identify women's attitudes toward such aids and devices and their role in overall health and well-being.

Here are some of the study's findings:

...approximately 75 percent of women purchase sexual aids and devices at specialty stores, although an increasing number of women are opting for the privacy and safety offered by Web-based stores.
The study found that top reasons women purchase sensual products online were:

* Anonymity - 80 percent (of respondents)
* Convenience - 75 percent Less
* Embarrassing - 71 percent
* Ability to Take One's Time - 64 percent Larger
* Selection - 42 percent

I have a couple of sex toys that I like very much. One is a rabbit pearl vibrator, which I like to use all the time. I have another one that is inserted into the vagina. It's best to use that one with a condom so that you don't pull the cord out. I bought some Kama Sutra massage cream for The Count for Valentine's Day, and it's very nice. It smells like mint and menthol.

Dr. Laura Berman, who is director of the Berman Center in Chicago, says that many women don't know what kind of sexual aid and device is right for them. Many women also don't know where to find them or how to use them. One great place in Chicago to find sexual aids and devices is The Honeysuckle Shop, own by blogger Flea from One Good Thing. There are lots of web site that sell sex toys in case you don't find what you're looking for at The Honeysuckle Shop, but Flea is sure you have what you need.
