TENGA 2020 SELF-PLEASURE REPORT Sexual and Self-Pleasure Behaviors and Attitudes in the United States Prepared by PSB Insights June 2, 2020 INTRODUCING THE TENGA 2020 SELF-PLEASURE REPORT TENGA is committed to elevating the global conversation around masturbation, tackling its myths and stigmas, while celebrating self-pleasure in our lives. The innovative sexual wellness company that creates sex toys for men and women, is pleased to announce the findings of its fifth-annual TENGA Self-Pleasure Report, which highlights the surprising role masturbation, sex and sex toys play in people’s lives around the world. This study is one of the largest of its kind and includes the insights gathered from over 5,000 respondents surveyed across five countries, including The United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France and Spain. In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Masturbation May, this year’s study goes beyond simply measuring attitudes and perceptions around masturbation and sexual behaviors; it also explores the connection between pleasure – received from oneself or during sex – and its impact on physical, emotional, and societal well- being. We hope you learn about the amazing power of self-pleasure.

Masturbation is an almost universal behavior among Americans and not limited to those without relationships. ▪ A majority of Americans, regardless of sexual orientation, report having masturbated before. ▪ Men are slightly more likely than women to have masturbated, and also report doing so more often. ▪ Most Americans masturbate on their own while in a relationship, with women more likely to do so than men. ▪ To masturbate, women use their imagination, while men view adult content. ▪ Masturbation is a great stress-reliever and improves sexual experiences. ▪ A majority of Americans masturbate in order to relax and 8-in-10 agree that it’s a form of self-care. ▪ Regular masturbators and sex toy users are more comfortable and satisfied with their sexual experiences than the average American. ▪ Americans do not hold strong moral or cultural beliefs against masturbation or sex toy usage; most who do not engage in either simply feel they do not need it. ▪ However, while most Americans have talked openly to others about sexual experiences, masturbation, or sex toy usage, they’d rather talk about mental health or money. ▪ Gen X-ers are the least open to talk about any sexual topics, while Millennials lead the conversation on sex toy usage. ▪ Women, LGBTQIA+ and Millennial Americans are at the forefront of sex toy usage. ▪ Though more women report using sex toys, men who do use them tend to do so more frequently than women. ▪ While most Americans have received some form of sex education, they’ve forgotten half of it and the Internet fills in the gaps. ▪ Masturbation and sex toys have been a lifeline during quarantine. ▪ Almost 2 in 5 Americans masturbated more during self-isolation, particularly those in relationships but not isolating with a partner. ▪ Half of adults used a sex toy during quarantine, with men more likely to say they purchased one specifically for use during quarantine. 4 AUDIENCE PROFILING 5 Audience Profiling All
