Despite the corona-related restrictions – or perhaps because of them – sex toys were more popular than ever among Germans last year. But in which federal state has been played with particularly often and with which erotic toys especially with pleasure? The online sex store Orion dares to take a look back at 2020.
Most sex toys were ordered in NRW
The year 2020 was a turbulent time for Germany and the entire world due to the pandemic, which affected almost all areas of life – including sexuality. Singles in particular increasingly turned to sex toys for pleasurable moments alone, as dating was not allowed. And many couples also spiced up their sex lives with erotic toys.
Reason enough for the online sex store Orion to look back at the past year and look at its own statistics. Where was there particularly much play? Which sex toys were particularly trendy?
The result: in North Rhine-Westphalia, self-love was apparently particularly popular. Most toy orders at Orion went to the state in the west of Germany. And there was also a lot of erotic play in the south. The second and third places in Orion’s 2020 order ranking were taken by Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg.
Purple sex toys were in high demand
The best sellers last year were a purple G-spot vibrator and a dual-motor massage wand, which, in addition to relieving tension in the neck, naturally also relieves tension in the intimate zone. Another bestseller was a purple couple vibrator that can be used for stimulation in two places at once.
This bestseller ranking alone shows: The most popular Orion sex toy color in 2020 is purple. Something that a look at the overall statistics also makes clear. Thus, purple sex toys were ordered the most last year. Not surprisingly, next to sex toys in black, the classic among sex toy colors.
What might be the reason why purple sex toys were so popular? Possibly because the color purple – like black – has a seductive effect and is associated by many people with eroticism, sexuality, intimacy and sensuality. Not for nothing purple is also interwoven with spirituality and is considered the color of passion.
Munich ordered double vibrator, Hamburg masturbators
Which sex toys were ordered most in the three largest cities in Germany? Orion also looked at this. It was found that the “Best Mate Double Vibrator” – which can be used alone or in pairs – was particularly popular with customers from Munich. Apparently, erotic lovers from the Bavarian capital like to take their pleasure points in their pincers.
In Hamburg, on the other hand, masturbators for men were highly popular. The bestsellers were the “Handy” and “Manta” models. Both toys are suitable both for stimulating solo sex and for amorous adventures with a partner. Thanks to their various settings, they guarantee a wide variety of pleasurable experiences.
In Berlin, on the other hand, the “European Lover” was a particular bestseller in 2020. The natural dildo can be used anally or vaginally – alone or in pairs. It is suitable for both men and women.
The online sex store has several new products in the pipeline that have what it takes to become bestsellers. But whether erotic toys will actually be as trendy this year as they were in 2020 and which toys will sell best certainly depends to no small extent on the further development of the pandemic and the associated restrictions.
