Contrary to popular belief, India is actually the 5th most sexually active country in the world (according to Insider Monkey). While the whole world is progressively becoming more open-minded sexuality wise, how is the Indian population keeping up?
The main online Indian sex shop adultproductsindia.com has released statistical data related to online searches for sex toys that may surprise you. The data shows us how the behaviour of Indian users has evolved between the first semester of 2018 and 2019.
The Sex Toys India is Searching For
Overall, there was an increase in the search for the different categories of sex toys. Masturbators are holding the top position as strongly as ever.

It is interesting to observe that the total number of searches increased, but the most interesting data is below.
The search for sex dolls more than doubled, resulting in an increase of 245.71% in the number of searches.
Few products suffered a decrease in the number of searches: penis sleeves and strap-on dildos are the most significant ones.

A Positive Evolution for the Indian Population
Studies have shown that sex toy sales are indicative of more than just a healthy appetite in the bedroom.
Scientists have found connections between sexual positivity and satisfaction and the improvement of mental, physical, and social health. Furthermore, one paper suggests that sex toys have the potential to greatly contribute to the overall improvement of peoples sexual health en masse. Individuals who reported frequent use of sex toys showed a greater connection with partners, as well as reported lower levels of stress.
In fact, the use of personal masturbators, in the absence of a committed partner, may help satisfy urges and promote healthier sex practices amongst single individuals.
Sex toys in India are also making an emergence in the senior community, which according to one source, is about more than just having a good time. Sex toys, when used properly, can actually improve senior health. How? By easing some of the inevitable problems of ageing, such as dryness and muscular atrophy. They may also help protect against serious illnesses, like prostate cancer, or reduce the pain that arthritis can cause.
