Nearly 14 percent of South Korean adults use masturbation aids, an international survey shows.
Tenga, a Japanese maker of masturbation aids, organized the survey of 13,000 adults aged 18-74 in 18 countries, including 1,000 people here.
Nearly 14 percent of the surveyed said they had "experience of using masturbation aids" and 69 percent were "satisfied" with their sex lives ― 10 percent higher than a 59 percent satisfaction level for non-users.
More than 90 percent of users bought the aids online.
The younger the users become, the less anxious they became about revealing their use of the aids to others ― 31 percent of users aged 18-34 were willing to share their experience with others, 23 percent in the 35-54 group and 21 percent in the over-55 group.
