When the economy goes down, sex goes up.
A recession is a time to come together. With people spending more time at home – and whether its because they have some spare time, need some comfort, are in love, or just in the mood - it looks like they are having more personal time. According to AdAge, “first-quarter sales of personal lubricants soared 32% to $41.2 million led by Johnson & Johnson’s K-Y Yours & Mine his-and-hers lubricants. Meanwhile, the small but suddenly booming “sexual-enhancement devices” category in food, drug and mass-market stores is up 74% to $10.1 million.“ Craigslist Casual Encounters tripled to 3 million in 9/08 from 1 million in 9/07, Babeland sales spiked 25% as the bailout was approved in Congress and Durex condoms spiked 6% as Lehman toppled.
There are even web applications that help you keep track of your sex life. Check out Bedpost where you can fill out how often, how long and even rate the experience. It’s private and for your eyes only.
So go forth and have fun. Just remember, safety first!
