Survey Reveals the Power of Play in a Couple's Relationship - New Couples Massager Launched to Inject More Fun Into Intimacy

OTTAWA, Nov. 12, 2013 /CNW/ - Leading Canadian brand We-Vibe^® recently announced the results of a new survey that shows what men and women really want from an intimate relationship - and it is not as complicated as most couples might expect.

According to the new poll, conducted by International Communications Research (ICR) and supported by the makers of We-Vibe, three out of five (59%) men and women simply want their sex lives to be more playful and fun.

"Playfulness, humour and laughter can help couples maintain strong bonds, as they work as conflict resolution strategies and stress reducers," says Dr. Wendy Walsh, author of "The 30-Day Love Detox," among other books on relationships. "These qualities can also enhance a sexual relationship, helping couples to maintain a balance of excitement and interest in one another."

For couples looking for a more playful experience in their sex lives, We-Vibe is launching the next generation the world's number one selling couples' massager - We-Vibe 4. Worn by women while making love, We-Vibe 4 allows couples to experience a new level of shared pleasure. Created by Ottawa-based Standard Innovation, the We-Vibe product line is recommended by leading relationship and sexual health experts worldwide.

"The big issue is sexual communication. Most of the people in this new survey (81%) want a better sex life but only a third have ever broached the topic of expanding their sexual script," Dr. Walsh said. "Two things often happen in long-term monogamy.  First, the sexual script is narrowed to the point that couples are barely playing two bars with their instrument, and secondly, once the old script loses its efficacy, one partner checks out and the couple becomes trapped in a low desire/ high desire stand off. Both of these issues can be addressed using a product such as We-Vibe 4."

According to Dr. Walsh, introducing a sexual wellness product like We-Vibe 4 is an ideal way for couples to intensify a playful and passionate experience.  For those who don't know how to start the discussion, We-Vibe is introducing an inspirational booklet called The We-Book of Delights.  Found on we-vibe.com, the new guide helps couples communicate their wants and needs and includes tips like how to introduce a vibrator into a relationship.
