Searah Deysach, owner of Early to Bed, a feminist sex shop in Andersonville, said her business has “definitely seen an increase in (the purchase of) masturbation toys” since the stay-at-home order was put in place.
“I think a lot of people are stuck home alone, and there’s people who normally would be having sex with dates, or people who they are not sheltered at home with,” said Deysach. “So a lot of people are — for stress relief and sexual pleasure and all the other reasons why anyone would masturbate — are finding themselves doing it more on their own, and looking for creative ways to make it a little more fun, more interesting, and take a little strain off our hands and wrists as well.”
Deysach said she’s also been fielding a lot more questions about the topic too.
