LOS ANGELES – A sales data study by online adult retailer Healthy and Active indicates suburbia may not be as white-bread as its reputation.
Healthy and Active ships more than a million dildos, Ben Wa balls, lube, wands, handcuffs, sex dolls and other toys each year — and just revealed the zip codes where the items most often go.
“Many of our most-shipped-to destinations — the zip codes that ordered the largest [number of units] and greatest variety of products — were often on the outskirts of town, in quiet little hamlets with cookie-cutter houses and picket fences,” the company noted. “‘Bedroom communities,’ if you will, not only order the most sex toys per capita, [but] they also order the most sex toys.”
