Adam & Eve, America's most trusted source for adult products, discovered that either alone or with a partner, adult toy use is widely accepted and on the upswing. In fact, an additional 3.2% of respondents said they intend to use adult products in the future.

Interestingly, nearly all the respondents (94%) feel that adult products can be a part of a healthy relationship.

Among respondents' favorite adult products were toys (87%) and personal lubricants (79%). After these, the next most selected products were adult videos (72%), sexy lingerie (66%) and massage oils (64%).

Sex and relationship expert Dr. Kat Scarbo says, "Adding toys to a couple's bedroom repertoire can improve communication and overall satisfaction with sex. I suggest toys and adult videos to clients to give them permission to explore what works for them in the bedroom. Overwhelmingly, nearly all my clients have reported that incorporating these items has lead to healthier, happier relationships."

Chad Davis, Marketing Director for Adam & Eve, agrees. "These results reveal an increasingly positive attitude toward sex and sexuality. We are very encouraged by these findings since they bode well for our business," says Davis. "Adam & Eve has nearly 40 years of experience and over 10 million customers who can attest to the joy adult toys bring them."

The web-based survey, conducted by an independent third party survey company, of over 1,000 American adults age 18 and up, was sponsored by Adam & Eve to study sexual preferences and practices.
