Good Vibrations Reveals Solo Sex Survey Results

SAN FRANCISCO — In honor of International Masturbation Month, Good Vibrations surveyed 375 people about solo sex, their vibrator and vibrator usage.

Out of 375 people surveyed, 30 percent learned about vibrators by watching porn. Almost 70 percent stated that they prefer vibrators that offer clitoral stimulation and over 50 percent prefer using a wand type vibrator. 60 percent of respondents confirmed they use a vibrator during solo and partnered sex.

According to the survey, 93 percent of people said their favorite location for vibrator use was in bed, and over 40 percent prefer when a partner uses it on them, while over 60 percent prefer vibrator use during partnered sex.

18 percent of the respondents preferred vibrating cock ring type vibrators, and 35 percent preferred G-spot stimulation. The most important thing about a vibrator to people was “overwhelmingly body safe materials.”

Good Vibrations reports it does not sell any product containing phthalates (the chemical softeners that raised concerns about toxicity in plastics).

“We have been talking to people about sex for 40 years and we know a thing or two about vibrators,” said Jackie Rednour-Bruckman, Good Vibrations executive vice president. “Pleasure should be celebrated and we invite everyone to stop by our stores and see what all the fun is about.”

A representative stated, “Good Vibrations founded International Masturbation Month in 1995 in the wake of the controversy surrounding the firing of former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who evoked conservative wrath when she stated that discussion of masturbation might have a place in sex education curricula. Realizing that one simple, sensible mention of solo pleasuring was enough to lose this prominent woman — the country’s first African-American surgeon general — her job convinced Good Vibrations staff that this most basic and accessible form of sex needed a serious image boost. Since that time others have followed suit and helped Good Vibrations spread the word.”
