According to a recent study, America’s never been so freaky. Yes, new data from Flexport shows the United States is having a sex toy renaissance. “After analyzing millions of pounds of sex toy shipments from the past five years, Flexport’s data shows that the country’s appetite for bedroom gadgets increased dramatically in 2012 and has remained at a high level since,” reports Buzzfeed. So what could be behind the recent uptick in bedroom experimentation?
Well, 50 Shades of Grey might have something to do with it. The erotic trilogy’s first book published in mid-2011 and sex toy shipments really skyrocketed in the months following. Flexport also found that California is the state which imports the most sex toys, with New York as the runner-up in freakiness. With almost 3 million pounds of sex toys imported last year, China will really need to crank out those naughty devices to keep up with demand!
