Women
Are Using More Sex Toys
The
use of sexual aids and devices is often a sensitive and embarrassing
topic for women, but a new landmark study on sexual aid usage
conducted by the Berman Center may help change women's acceptance
of sexual aids and their ability to talk more openly about use
of sexual aids with their spouses, partners, and friends.
The
research was unveiled in Chicago on September 11, 2004 at the
second annual Women's Sexual Health State-of-the-Art Series
conference in conjunction with the Northwestern University Feinberg
School of Medicine. This Continuing Medical Education program
is one of the largest-ever gatherings of physicians on the topic
of women's sexual health.
One
in five women uses self-stimulation at least once a week, which
would equate to more than 17.5 million women nationwide. Of
the women that use self-stimulation, nearly 60 percent currently
use a sexual device to do so. The research indicates that, in
all, 44 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 60 have
used a sexual device.
Based
on the study results, the author suggests a connection between
the use of sexual aids and devices with overall quality of life.
Women who use sexual devices report experiencing higher levels
of sexual function and satisfaction with their partners than non-users.
This includes higher levels of sexual desire and arousal as well
as less pain during and after intercourse. Sexual device users
also find it easier to reach orgasm when compared to nonusers,
who tend to have moderate success. With these findings, we can
safely suggest that all of these characteristics were significantly
correlated with higher levels of quality of life in the respondents.
