Sex Toys: A Woman’s Real Best Friend

Sex Toys: A Woman’s Real Best Friend

Informational/Non-Fiction

No, it’s not diamonds.  Diamonds are a girls best friend.  But women around the world are proving that sex toys are their real best friend.  Let’s go to the stats; Factsite.com reports the following:

• 44% of Women between the ages of 18 and 60 have used a sex toy.

• 15 – 17%  of women were under the age of 20 when they used their first vibrator.

• 50% of Women were in their 20’s (first vibrator.)

• 22-27% of Women were in their 30’s, and 8-10% were in their 40’s or older (first vibrator).

• Women who report masturbating score higher on a self-esteem index than women who do not report masturbating.  Women who report masturbating have a more positive body image and less sexual anxiety.

• Almost a quarter (23%) of adults around the world have incorporated sex toys in partner sex.

• 20% of men reported using a vibrator.

• Women who are in relationships are more likely to own and use sex toys.  78% of women who use or have used a sex toy reported being in a relationship.

• 3.35 million people search for the keyword ‘sex toys’ in Google each month.

• Mississippi buys more anal sex toys per capita than any other state.

• Alabama is the only state where a law prohibiting buying sex toys is on the books.

• Alaska buys the most sex toys per capita.

• 20% of Adults reports indulging in kinky play, including masks, blindfolds or bondage.

So what does this really mean?  The stats beg several questions that most of us must confront but we would never answer in a survey let alone confess to a priest or a clergyman.   Questions like: do you do your woman with her toys?  Do you do yourself with your own toys?  Do you have as much sex with your partner as she does with her toys?

What does the answer to these questions really mean?

28,000 Year Old Dildo

Not just Americans, but people worldwide use sex toys.  Use of sex toys has been going on since the recorded history of man.  A bunch of Germans (figures) discovered the world’s oldest dildo in July of 2005. 


It is, as the report goes, “20cm of polished siltstone lovingly created around 28,000 years ago.” “The stone schlong was discovered in Hohle Fels Cave near Ulm, Swabia, by a Tübingen University team.”

The problem with sex toys is attitudes, taboos and beliefs (or disbeliefs).  Some states have set up ‘sex police’ stings to stop the proliferation of sex toys (like stopping the sale of guns, grass or porn).  Joann Webb, a housewife and former elementary school teacher was arrested back in January 2011 for violating a Texas obscenity law that forbids “the sale of items "designed or marketed as useful primarily for the stimulation of human genital organs." (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=128066&page=1#.T7wDgdxWrXo)

Joann, who organizes passion parties thought she was doing a public service, she “saw this as a great opportunity to help educate women, help encourage them to open up the lines of communication between them and their partners and be able to enhance their relationships," explains Webb, who organizes the parties in and around Burleson, Texas, 15 miles south of Fort Worth.”

Marc Angenent was a minister for 23 years before finding his true calling: sex toy merchant.  Marc also sees himself as a ‘sex therapist’ (nothing like finding religion via the vagina).  “Products offered include dildos, vibrators, erection rings, and prostate simulators, according to the New Age.

Angenent sees the site, which contains no nudity, pornographic images, or offensive language, as a safe space for Christians to make these purchases. He doesn't offer whips or other fetish items, Der Spiegel reports, but not because he finds anything wrong with them: He just doesn't want to shock the Christian community.” (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/23/christian-sex-toy-shop-op_n_1445802.html)

So, what is your reality?  Is there a sex toy in your past, present, future or nightstand drawer?

So we deal with what is taboo, the subject of sex toys and their use by women.  But what is even more taboo is the subject of their use by men.  It would be kind of twisted to think of a guy buying a dildo or a pocket vagina to use on himself, but given the great pussy drought of the Obama years we must make ‘change’.  Hard times call for tough measures or reliable toys.  If buying a sex toy is sick or twisted to you, think of the guys buying life size fully functional sex robots on sale now!

Whatever the excuse, lack of funds, lack of interest in the opposite sex, lack of interest in the same sex or you just want something or some device (robot) to get off with, sex toys are filling the void.  (Yeah, pun intended)  

So whatever your fetish, freakishness or sexual identification, a sex toy can be your new, or old, best friend.  And they won’t get jealous if you have more than one.

Do you have one?
