When it comes to sex toys, older women are far from shy. In fact, over half of women aged 60 and older have embraced these little gadgets during solo sessions of self-love. Yes, you read that right. A staggering 62.4% of these women report using external vibrators, while nearly half—47.9%—are all about penetrative toys. It’s safe to say that these ladies know how to get things buzzing.
Interestingly, most of this action happens when they’re flying solo. A national survey revealed that 56.4% of women who’ve masturbated in the last year used sex toys at least occasionally. Yet when it comes to partnered sex? Only a measly 5.1% bring toys into the bedroom. Let’s be honest: it seems that these women prefer their pleasure on their own terms. And who can blame them?
The frequency of use spikes among those who regularly indulge in self-pleasure. Almost half—46.4%—of women using toys do so almost always. With the COVID-19 pandemic shaking up routines, it’s no surprise that the interest in these devices has surged. Notably, frequent sex toy use is linked to higher orgasm rates, enhancing the overall sexual experience for many women. Moreover, menopausal changes may make these toys an appealing option as they seek comfort and pleasure during self-exploration.
What’s even better? The benefits are tangible. Frequent sex toy use correlates with higher orgasm rates. Women who utilize these tools are more likely to reach that blissful peak. And guess what? More orgasms mean more health perks, from pain relief to improved sleep. It’s like a wellness routine disguised as a pleasure session.
While only 38.7% of those who engage in partnered sex use toys occasionally, the trend is growing. Women are increasingly looking to spice things up and enhance intimacy with their partners, especially when faced with menopausal changes.
