Sex Toy Company Uses Memes To Spread The Joys Of Masturbation

Image Source: Flickr.com | User: rccola159May is National Masturbation Month—and we’re all about “feeling yourself!” But we aren’t the only ones: one sex toy company is getting around social media’s rules against sponsored posts for vibrators and other sex tech in a very clever way: meme accounts. Unbound features sex toys and women that are more whimsical and playful than conventionally sexy—in fact, one of its memes features a vibrator that’s shaped like an alien spaceship with the caption: “Houston, we have an orgasm.”

Unbound advertises through meme accounts in a way that not only normalizes sex toys in a humorous, approachable way, but also promotes masturbation as a kind of self care that’s fun. The company partnered with meme accounts as a way to reject anti-sex positivity on social media, and in doing so, found a fan base that could relate to the quirky memes: “Seeing memes and small influencers promote this material makes you feel good about being open about your sexuality,” said one person. By using memes, Unbound gets around Instagram’s draconian rules for images surrounding female pleasure and also finds its way right into the lap of young people.

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_dildosIt’s International Masturbation Month! Now you can have a whole month dedicated to, er, taking care of yourself. To celebrate the occasion, here are 7 things to know about self-love.

  1. About one in seven women have never masturbated
    “When asked if they had ever masturbated before, 15% of the women surveyed as part of a Swedish study released earlier this month said no, compared to just 1% of men (in total, 3,000 men and women were interviewed),” reports the Guardian
  2. Women are more likely to use sex toys
    Although men are embracing sex toys more and more, 43% of women use them compared with just 13% of men.
  3. Men fantasize while masturbating
    Men are twice as likely to fantasize each time they jerk off than women. Where’s the imagination, ladies?
  4. Duration can vary from five minutes to 150 minutes
    According to the masturbation science site, Touchingforscience, masturbation can vary from quickies to long, luxurious self-love sessions.
  5. Atheists love to jerk off
    Atheists and agnostics were much more likely to have masturbated than religious folks. “Overall, 95% of agnostics said they had masturbated at least once in their lives, compared to 64% of fundamentalist Protestants, 62% of Christians and 53% of Jews.”
  6. Married people are less likely to masturbate 
    According to a survey conducted by The National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, married people were the least likely to have masturbated in the past 90 days (57% of married men and 39% of married women). “Single and dating” women and “single” men were the most likely to have gotten off on their own.
  7. Over 60% of men watch porn
    In what comes as probably no surprise, men love to “double-click their mouse” on the internet!
