In Honor Of May being National Masturbation Month, we decided to give you some fun facts related to masturbation, and our conclusions about those facts!

1. Fact: 89% of women admit to masturbating. Our Conclusion: The other 11% will only admit to heavy petting.

2. Fact: More than 41% of people have accidentally been caught masturbating. 22.6% of women have intentionally been walked in on. Our Conclusion: Intentionally? Oh, I get it -- they're the martyr-y ones who constantly balk, "If I want something done, I have to do it myself!"

3. Fact: 4 out of 10 women prefer masturbation over sex. Our Conclusion: Does this coincide with the finding that 40% of men want their women to have liposuction? Well, screw you, assholes. Who needs you anyway?

Sex in the Shower

Who doesn’t love sex? But are there ever those times when you’re in a hurry, you need to shower to get ready to leave, but you’re so insanely horny you feel like you won’t make it without getting down and dirty quickly? What better way to ease your needs than SHOWER SEX! We can’t think of a better way to get dirty while you’re getting clean. Sex in the shower is a fun way to heat things up, try new things, and enjoy your lover more intimately.

Lucky for us, Sportsheets knows how to get down with the get down, and created an entire line of sex toys designed specifically for shower play; from extreme suction handles and footrests to loofah doggie style straps, all of your shower needs are fulfilled with the ‘Sex in the Shower’ toys and attachments.

Shunga also kept shower play in mind when they came out with their flavored-yes flavored- bath and shower gels. These gentle cleaners are enhanced with vitamin E and made from vegetable oils in order to ensure silky smooth skin, as well as a tasty treat for you and your lover to enjoy!

Even Jopen had shower play in mind when they came out with their 100% waterproof, 100% rechargeable toy options. Whether you want to play on your own with their extremely popular Vanity Vr15, or you want your lover to join you equipped with his Ego e1 (which is our 100% waterproof, 100% rechargeable vibrating cock ring), these toys are made for water play. With silicone seals protecting the charging ports, Jopen toys are ready to get soaked in an orgasmic bliss that used to be merely a quick, uneventful shower.

Of course lubricant is a must in all sexual situations, but shower sex requires a silicone lubricant for skin on skin play. Silicone lubricants are fully waterproof, so they won’t dry up or wash away from the stream of the showerhead.  Just be careful, because silicone lubes are extremely slippery, so make certain not to spill any, or you’ll be slipping and sliding all over the bathroom!

Alright, now we’ve given you all the basics you need in order to grab your lover or your favorite waterproof toy and enjoy the extra steamy showers you’ll be looking forward to from now on.  So don’t wait another second….start the shower and get steamy!
