Shopping Is Sexy: Buying Sex Toys Is A Great Aphrodisiac

Shopping Is Sexy: Buying Sex Toys Is A Great Aphrodisiac

By Elena Ognivtseva

Everyone knows that women love shopping: whether it’s the call of the SALE, the appeal of the handbag, or the contours of those Jimmy Choos. Women love to shop, and what’s more, they especially love shopping for sex toys.

A study released by a London sex toy retailer reports that 61% of women find the experience of browsing and buying sex toys an erotic experience and an excellent turn-on.

Perhaps it’s the promise of knee-buckling orgasms thanks to award-winning sex toys like the We-Vibe, perhaps it’s the opportunity for orgasm from the extensive range of vibrators at your fingertips - or perhaps it’s just the idea of combining sex and shopping together that gets them going.

Needless to say, three-quarters of women in Britain all own a sex toy and that number is on the rise thanks to celebrity sex secrets, sexy shows like Big Brother and Sex in the City, and a more open attitude towards sex toys and sexual pleasure. Big name actresses like Gwyneth Paltrow and Sarah Jessica Parker are all completely open about their sexual preferences and habits thanks to talk shows and interviews, and even our home-grown Tulisa is a proud Rabbit-Owner.

In fact, despite the recession and the concern for economic development, it seems that British women are sexier than ever and are enjoying high street sex toy and lingerie shopping at leading names such as Boots, as well as more discreet and affordable online shopping alternatives provided by retailers like temptationsdirect.co.uk.

Global sales of vibrators and sex toys have soared to £5.5 billion, and are set to reach £40 billion by 2020 which is the same level expected for smart phone sales, said Mail Online.
