Nearly half of Brits have never tried a sex toy, new research reveals – but lockdown could be the perfect time to change that. With all the stress and new rules piling up, a bit of self-love might be just what the doctor ordered.
Nearly Half of Brits Skip Sex Toys
According to a recent study by sexual wellness brand LELO, 41% of the UK population have never experimented with a sex toy. And get this – 1 in 10 only got started after hitting 45 years old!
Women Lead the Way, But Men Are Joining In
Women still top the charts for self-love product use, but 1 in 7 men admit to using toys for some solo action. Seems the stigma is fading fast.
Couples Hotter on Sex Toys Than Singles
Surprisingly, Brits in relationships are more likely to enjoy sex toys solo than singles. The stats show:
- 42% of single Brits have used sex toys
- 36% living with a partner use toys
- 41% in a relationship get involved
- 54% of those in polyamorous relationships say yes
The survey polled 4,000 UK adults aged 18 to 65+ in October, revealing that lockdown might just be the push many need to explore new pleasures.
