HILLSBOROUGH, N.C.—Adam & Eve and adameve.com have shared the results of their survey in which they asked over 1,000 adults how they prefer to masturbate.
While most people admit they enjoy the practice of masturbation or sexual self-gratification, the ways in which they do it are as varied. Nearly 46% of those polled said they masturbate using just hands or fingers, while over a quarter of the respondents (27%) said they utilize sex toys such as vibrators or penis sleeves. Fifteen percent said they incorporate adult content such as videos and magazines, and 12% said they prefer “other” means including shower heads and erotic literature.
“Masturbation has existed since people have existed… it’s an ancient, evolved trait that has been depicted in prehistoric cave drawings and observed in many animal species,” said Dr. Jenni Skyler, PhD, LMFT, CST, and resident sexologist at Adam & Eve. “People masturbate because it feels good. Solo sex is self-care, and it’s the safest form of sex there is.”
“Adam & Eve encourages adults to celebrate their sexuality within their own comfort levels. We are happy to provide a variety of toys, lubricants and warming lotions to enhance both partnered and solo sessions,” said Chad Davis, director of marketing for Adam & Eve.
The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third-party survey company, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
