When the pandemic hit, it was a change to the way we lived our lives for everyone. But one group of people that it seemed to hit in a very unique way is the young, singles crowd.
The world of dating changed quite rapidly, it was no longer really possible to meet someone at a club or go on a first date with someone in person. The option for ‘FaceTime dates’ were still a thing, and for some people that really seemed to do the trick. But if Lovehoney sales patterns tell us anything, it’s that the pandemic brought about an increased desire for self pleasure.
One person, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: “I didn’t own a single sex toy before the pandemic, now I have so many I need a box to keep them all in. I think it’s definitely harder to date now, if you’re meeting someone online they have to be a good texter for you not to lose interest and honestly? My toys are more consistent.”
