HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — Adam & Eve's latest web survey asked more than 1,000 adults how many incorporated lubricants into their lovemaking.
The findings revealed that while most men and women (43 percent) said they never used lubricants, 39 percent of both men and women said lubricants were sometimes a part of their bedroom activities.
But only 17 percent of those surveyed admitted that they frequently used lubricants to enhance their lovemaking.
Age was not a huge factor either, according to the research. Respondents ranged from age 18-70+, and the most frequent imbibers of lube were in the 21-39-age range.
“I find it encouraging that young adults are adding lubricants to their sexual repertoire. We all know that a good lubricant can enhance the sensation for both partners. But I would like to see that number go up for the 40+ crowd as well,” resident sexpert Dr. Kat Van Kirk said.
“Adam & Eve carries a huge variety of brands and types of lubricants,” director of marketing Chad Davis said. “From water-based, to flavored, to silicone- based lubricants… we encourage our customers to explore a healthy sex life within their own comfort zone.”
