Another study conducted between mid-March and mid-May of 2020 found that 23.6% of men had used a sex toy during masturbation in the early months of the pandemic, compared to 65.7% of non-binary people and 52.9% of women. Yet, men have historically been shamed for incorporating toys into their sex life-see: the way society jokes about Fleshlights-and studies have shown they're less likely to use them than people of other genders are.įor instance, two studies published in 2009 showed that 53% of women and 45% of men had used a vibrator during solo and partnered sexual interactions. Sex toys can be awesome additions to your bedroom routine, no matter your gender, anatomy, or sexual orientation.
