Three Out Of Four Americans Have Dildos
A new survey from the sex toy creator Lovehoney found that three in four Americans own at least one dildo.
That means roughly 70 percent of Americans have a dildo in their homes (or cars, or cubicles, no judgement). While the majority (78 percent) are women, 64 percent of men that answered also own the phallic sex toy. Those 30 and older were more likely (71 percent 40+, 70 percent 30-40) than those 18-30 (68 percent), but not by much.
Lovehoney also found that dildos were HUGE in Iowa, the state's the most likely to have dildo-owning dwellers. Based on the answers from 11,400 sex toy enthusiast respondents, they compiled the list of the top 15 states where dildos are more than likely to reside in drawers and other orifices.
Those states are:
- Iowa
- New Jersey
- Illinois
- Pennsylvania
- North Carolina
- Wisconsin
- Maryland
- Oregon
- Indiana
- California
- Tennessee
- Massachusetts
- Washington
- Ohio
- Michigan
It appears that the South is severely lacking in dildo purchases, while the Midwest and some coastal states are partaking in the penetration. Perhaps it's because states like Texas didn't even allow sex toys until 2003, and now, it's illegal to own more than six dildos at one time. ILLEGAL! That's just unfair all around.

"It appears that the South is severely lacking in dildo purchases"
That's because southern boys know how to do it, southern girls don't need dildos
The worst sex I ever had was with a southern boy.....

SP: Asking a question is a CoC violation?
Never knew a lady who didn't own a dildo.
I really do prefer B.O.B.s....
Hello! Nice to meet you!
Consider yourself knowing a lady who doesn't own a dildo, much less ever use a dildo. I would if I felt the need, but luckily the men in my life considered it a challenge and a turn-on to put me on the effin' ceiling.
You know how to pick 'em
I found it takes being friends first. Which means they're intelligent and funnier than shit. I married at 19 for pure lust. Married my first, my teacher and an excellent teacher at that. But after a few years, I couldn't wait to get the hell out. Nice guy though.
"Deliverance''
Wooosh
Arkansas didn't make the list because I had to retire B.O.B.
Let's see if the teacher's pet gets his artificial erect penis pictures removed. The rest of us aren't even allow to post a picture of a naked statue in flaccid state.
Skirting the CoC [ph]
What did you do? You never get in trouble!
Ok have to say it,
That surprised me.
Did anyone else get the irony of Ender being surprised at the ratio of men-to-dildo?
Long Time No See.
Your voice is missed.
Lol, yeah right.
Excuse me sir/ma'am, i'm doing a survey on dildo ownership. Do you happen to own any? Hilarious!
I'm sure they get about the same number on honest answers to that question that they get to a gun ownership one.
This survey is probably closer to an honesty indicator by state ..... but that can't be true since Jersey is #2.
Why lie? I swear so many people in this country are repressed. It is just a dildo & yes I own one & have been married for almost 33 years now.
I have a purple one. it replaced the one my hubby bought me, which replaced the one I bought to replace the first one he bought me....
I agree but many do i'm sure. And it's not always only about being repressed. Many feel this sort of question is just one of those NOYB type questions.
Then I guess that should be their reply. I see it as being repressed because this country has a hard time talking about sex, but seem to be ok with TV shows seeing women raped & brutalized or in bikinis lying across a car. But use words like vagina, penis, sexual intercourse & bam you are a bad person.
Must be that One Eyed One Horned Flyin Purple People Eater we all heard so much about...
In some parts of the country it's "harder" than others......Texas still has a ban on the sale of sex toys and it's illegal to own more than 6 dildos. Of course that ban was ruled unconstitutional a decade ago but that doesn't stop a red state like Texas from keeping a defunct law on the books and occasionally enforcing it.
By the way one of Ted Cruz' claims to fame is his noble defense of the dildo ban.
"However, there is a very small cadre of attorneys that specialize in dildo defense."
LOL
Only one? My daughter owns three.
But then the Aliens would accuse you of cultural appropriation.
(Illegal Aliens-- or Undocumented Space Immigrants?)
The electrical bits tend to break first.
I bet little lying Ted Cruz has lots of dildos. You know how the saying goes . . .
I recently moved her out of her apartment while she was otherwise indisposed and, during the move I found them. I don't care what she does......sexually, that's up to her and, her boyfriend but, I thought that it fit this seed of yours Fish.
I thought those guys were green.....
Variety is the spice of life.
Dildos without batteries is like non-alcoholic beer. It fills you up nicely, but lacks the buzz.
That is beautiful and verges on poetry.
A vibrator with dead batteries is just a dildo.
Are ben-wa balls considered to be dildos?
Are ben-wa balls considered to be dildos?
NO. Here is a safety tip regarding them. Make sure you remove them before going through airport metal detectors. Before anyone asks how I know this, I just know okay?
I hate to fly because of those security hassles. I was asked multiple questions because of an underwire bra.
This is an OUTRAGE!! Oh my, my mind. . . 'the visual'!
Female TSA Agent: "Come with us, Missy!"
It wasn't pretty.
One Christmas I bought my sister a soap on the rope dildo as a gag gift, it was about 11" long and thick. The following week I asked how it was working out for her she wanted to know where I got it because she wanted another one. She said the one I gave her was down to 3" LOL
There are more than just a couple dildos right here at Newstalkers too!
Double bubble!
a stimulating topic
I hope BF has lots of batteries.....
BF, I'm digging the photo you dug up for the front page.
I'm learning far too much about far too many of you......
giggle
What? Did I do something wrong again?
Question.....why would a husband supply his own wife with dildos?
because he wants to make her happy
Good answer!
ok....I didn't marry a dildo. A man can only go, usually, a number of times at one marathon. "hand me my dildo if you can't continue" is demeaning IMO.
Now, that's funny.
That's why you start with one
Why is that demeaning? Do you think you should deprive yourself of a really good orgasm just because the old man couldn't continue?
exactly and it's not demeaning especially if he's...how did you put that?.....a 2 pump chump
No matter how you slice it....
Good grief .....maybe its you and not him.
Yes, it certainly has been discussed......sex therapy 101.
What goes on between a husband wife is no one's business. If one wants their own sex party with five dildos and six vibrators go for it. Have extra batteries as you never know how long your marathon will last.
are cucumbers kosher ?
Only after the tips are snipped.
Only after this,
Ummmm....no it's not.
Meow mags meow
LMAO
It appears that the South is severely lacking in dildo purchases … Texas didn't even allow sex toys until 2003, and now, it's illegal to own more than six dildos at one time. ILLEGAL! That's just unfair all around.
There's a reasonable explanation …
Many uninsured residents in the aforementioned RED STATES, after using their dildos …
… flooded emergency rooms with CHIPPED TEETH!
LOL
How to lie with statistics.
Wow! With the country's population at 325 million, that means 244 million Americans own at least one dildo. Take out the kids under 17 or 18 and that's literally every adult person. That's . . . amazing?
The problem with that is "11,400 sex toy enthusiast respondents" ≠ "Americans"
The graphic at the link says it this way:
For all we know, only 1% of Americans are "sex toy enthusiasts." Furthermore, the graphic also says the survey was of:
That makes it a lot broader than "Americans" or "sex toy enthusiasts." The truth is we don't know who they surveyed, although it's probably safe to assume they were sex toy enthusiasts at some level or they wouldn't likely be responding to a sex toy survey.
This is a lot of scrutiny of a silly story about dildos, but you see this in important news stories, too. Writing the headline in a way that ignores the accuracy of words just that little bit creates a radical change in the truth of the story.
Lol, way to rip all the joy out of what had been a generally fun discussion.
Oh well I guess we can all go back to our normal fare of death, crime, politics, religion etc.
Isn't that like a fluffer?
Almost as many dildoes as guns who would have thunk it.
The best ones shoot blanks. When I think of the amount of money spent on birth control .... oy.
How on earth do you ever expect to bake dill bread without dill dough??!? Why all the fuss?
I've never ever dated BOB. Why bother? BOB can't bring me a bowl of ice cream after I've finished.
Yeah, but BOB doesn't bother me with all that unnecessary talk and cuddling.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
I once worked in an adult bookstore. We also had a variety of sex toys. One night, these two older ladies came in. They were very shy and I suspected that they had never ventured into this kind of a store before. One lady wanted a vibrator, the other lady being there for morale support. As they perused the selection, one caught her eye. It was about a foot long, green, and even came with a handle. I charged her 10 bucks for it. The boss came by later and asked how sales were going. I told her it had been pretty slow but I did get 10 bucks for my thermos.
That reminded me of this,
