has something for everyone! During sex-week at Samfunnet, it was the sex shop Kondomeriet’s turn to talk at Tirsdagspåfyll. Halvors hybel was filled with people, but there are probably even more people who would like to know what was said that evening. There were two representatives from Kondomeriet present, and they gave an introduction in sex toys and their best-selling items. Every third Norwegian owns a vibrator, and two out of three has tried a sex toy. The customers at Kondomeriet ranges from giddy teenagers to elderly with walkers. It is clear that sex toys are something that interests most people. What varies is the rate that people seek information about this topic. In the category “For her”, Womanizer has in recent years been a huge hit, as it differs from other vibrators. The Womanizer uses pulses that stimulates the 8000 nerves found in the clitoris. The Rabbit is also a best seller, after it was made famous through its appearance in “Sex and the City” in 1998. In the category “For him” the Fleshlight and penis vibrators are the most sold. Sex toys aren’t only used by single people. It is also frequently used by couples. The couple vibrator lies inside the vagina during intercourse, and stimulates the clitoris, vagina and the penis. The intensity is determined by how hard you squeeze the remote control. Penis rings with vibrations gives pleasure to both him and her. Sex toys for anal use has become very popular in recent years, especially prostate vibrators, butt plugs and anal beads. It is emphasised that cleanliness is important, use lube, and take it slow during anal sex. This is not for everyone and should only be explored if you feel the desire to. Don’t forget that you can recycle your used sex toy at Kondomeriet and get -20% off your next purchase!
