Think of vibrators, dildos, strap ons and crotchless panties as the realm of the young? Think again. More and more mature women are using sex toys, for some excellent reasons- whether you’re dating an older woman or you’re a mature woman yourself, then read on to find out what sex toys are going to do for you…

Make Up for Others

One of the biggest reasons that mature women use sex toys is because mature gentlemen can have bedroom issues. It’s no secret that the older a man gets the more difficult it is for him to get and maintain an erection, the less stiff he can become, and the longer he has to wait for his next erection after orgasm. This is a natural process, and certainly doesn’t mean that older couples have any less fun in the sack than younger ones, but many couples add sex toys to their collection to keep things going when the biological penis needs a nap!

Improve Orgasm…

Another big reason that older women do or should use sex toys is to increase their own chances of orgasm. Once menopause hits, many women find that the skin in the vagina thins and natural lubrication lessens. This can make it uncomfortable to have sex, and mean that it takes more stimulation to reach orgasm than it did before. A vibrator, with its increased intensity, can be the perfect solution to this problem- guaranteeing the older girl mind blowing orgasms long after menopause has gone.

Sex Isn’t the Realm of the Young

A common misconception that many people hold is that sex is for the young. It’s not at all, and research backs this up. STD growth is rapidly accelerating in the over 60 crowd, meaning that there’s plenty of pensioners getting it on. How does this relate to sex toys? By taking the performance pressure off men and giving the mature woman more chance of being satisfied, sex toys are encouraging older couples to enjoy a healthy sex life. And that’s good for their health- sex is exercise after all.

Is an Older Woman’s Vibrator the Same?

Essentially when it comes to choosing sex toys, mature women are the same as younger women. There is one caveat to that though. Since vaginal skin is thinner and more prone to tearing, it is important that older women opt for soft material sex toys. Silicone is a better choice than hard plastic, for example, since it’s going to be more comfortable on delicate skin.

They’re Not Just for Couples…

And it’s not just older couples that are using sex toys either. A 2010 American study reported that thirty percent of women over the age of 60 were regularly masturbating. The study didn’t report on sex toy use, but it’s a fair bet that many of these women are using or have used sex toys at some point.

Sex toys aren’t just for the young, they’re for the young at heart, and given the many benefits of toys for older women, it just makes sense that more and more companies are marketing and designing toys for the more mature audience.
