The porn industry may be suffering, but the same can’t be said for the sex-toy sellers of the world. Business is booming!
According to a recent article in the New York Times, sales of high-priced pleasure toys have been on the up and up since the economy tanked last year. Bank accounts may be dwindling, but women are finding a way to indulge in personal pleasure.
This comes as no surprise to me, as I always turn to intimacy (most recently with myself) in times of stress or hardship. Sure, I have to be a little more thrifty with my cash, but that only means I need to be more deliberate about where and how I spend it.
Do I need that Starbucks? No.
Do I need a release after a long day of classes? You betcha.
Is a vibrator a better investment than, I don’t know, weed? Yes, yes, ohmygod YES.
Some women work out when they get stressed. Some shop.
It seems that most, however, are choosing to stay home and have some mind-blowing “stress relief” on their own.
