THE sex toys they are no longer a taboo, something to be ashamed of and to hide. Indeed, they are becoming increasingly popular and accessible to everyone. Starting from the “example” given by the stars, how Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow or Italian Arisa for example, who amusedly show fans on social media their collection of vibrators (and more) and give advice on how to use them.
But now a brand new scientific study reported on has taken care of dispelling the taboos PubMed and led by School of Anthropology and Conservation, Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Kentwhich examined the size, price and morphological characteristics of 265 sex toys designed for vaginal insertion, to understand their most popular features.
Sex Toys: what the new scientific study says
From the data that emerged in study*it seems that consumers are showing a preference for insertable sex toys That they are not direct replicas of the penis. Which suggests that you’re not looking so much for a realistic partner substitute, but – presumably – for a different way to enjoy sex through these tools.
Length doesn’t matter
It was also discovered that the length of the toy did not significantly predict its popularitywhich is consistent with other work according to which the women do not attach particular importance to the size of the phallus.* Johns SE, Bushnell N.
