That’s Personal, India’s leading sexual wellness destination, lay it all bare in its third research report, on the buying behaviour of sexual wellness products in India which we believe is super interesting as the results are AAA (amazing, astonishing and amusing).
It covers the top cities, highest selling products and which cities have more female buyers than men. They have also gone down to the level of how the Gujarati’s are the biggest buyers of adult games while the Assam leads the BDSM products purchases.
What if we tell you that Gujarat gets three times kinkier during Navaratri? Or that Bhopal buys the most flavoured condoms in India. Or that Panjim knows more oils than just coconut’s. Or that Uttar Pradesh, unlike the state, wants to get bigger.
The reports tip Western India as the most sexually liberated geography, accounting for 31% sales. North India isn’t far behind at 29%, having reported the greatest sales growth during the 52 months of research period. Only fair that the North, as it should have been, now points up.
Mumbai leads the charts when it comes to city sales but Delhi is not far behind. It ranks second overall but given how extroverted the city is, Delhi, when clubbed with adjoining NCR, takes the top spot.
February sees the most innovative orgasms of the year, with the monthly sales being almost 2.3 times the monthly average. Yes, it can be credited to the Valentine’s Day hormones, but the sales see a premature ejaculation in just the month after, in March, when the lowest sales of the year are recorded. Blame the examinations, can we?
The report also highlights a stark difference in the shopping trends of men and women. 62% of the customers are male, and lubricants seem to be a hit buy among them. The rest, females, spend more on intimate massagers, because hey, nobody truly understands what they want.
Surfing habits have been found to be dependent on gender, too. Males tend to have more page views, playing to their ‘quintessentially confused soul’ identity, while females like their basket size big, perhaps quietly hinting at their other preferences in life too.
Baroda, Pune and Thiruvananthapuram are the three cities that boast of more female buyers than male. Come to the age groups and the 45+ section has the largest percentage of women. While people aged 25-34 are the most loyal customers – constituted by maximum repeat users who account for the highest transactions – the younger generation between 18 and 24 take the pie, opting for self-pickup of their orders and accounting for the highest social media engagement. Now you know why #AfterSexSelfies are such a rage nowadays.
