A recent nationwide sampling of women conducted by Indiana University revealed that 53 percent of women have used vibrators during sex. Despite longstanding assumptions, this was the first large survey on such matters. It affirms what many therapists and doctors have known for years.
The study was conducted on over 2,000 women between the ages of 18 to 60 years. There were some other interesting findings with the study:
- 52.5 percent of women have used a vibrator, with about 25 percent having used it in the past month.
- Vibrator use was more likely if the woman had a gynecological exam within the past year or had done a genital self-exam within the last month, reflecting an awareness and interest in maintaining sexual health.
- 71.5 percent reported having no side effects from the vibrator. Most side effects reported were rare and short in duration.
