Enhanced sexual pleasure

The use of sexual enhancement products alone or with a partner can be part of a healthy, satisfying sex life. Although many men and women report using products (like vibrators) during sexual activities, very little research has examined individuals’ preferences (i.e., type, shape, size, methods of use) for anal sex toys. Obotics Inc. has developed a proprietary technology for use in sex toys. The technology, although thought to be effective as a motor to power the toys, has yet to be incorporated into the toy design. The purpose of the present research is to assist the company in better understanding how to maximize the sexual sensations involved in anal stimulation in order to produce a functional and appropriate product (i.e., a butt plug). A series of three studies will evaluate men’s and women’s preferences for butt plug brands and sensation criteria, and their motivations for purchasing and using these products.
