Most people think of their ex when pleasuring themselves, study reveals — here's what it means
They're getting it on while thinking of the past. Despite how your last relationship ended, if you think of your ex when pleasuring yourself, there's no shame in doing so — and you're not alone. 76% of men and 59% of women think of an ex when masturbating, according to a new survey from Ohdoki, the pleasure tech company that makes The Handy male sex toy. And before you fret, doctor and certified sex therapist Kristie Overstreet told the Everygirl that fantasizing about a past lover could mean a variety of things. If you're single and reminiscing about your past lover while showing yourself some lovin' — it 'could be a healthy way to look back on what was good in the relationship.' If you're in a relationship and still thinking about that specific person while masturbating — Overstreet told the outlet that people should look at it as a positive thing, as it could be 'a way to use the past relationship to help enhance the current relationship.' And oftentimes thinking of the sexual experiences you once had with a person that are now forbidden is a major turn-on for some when masturbating, according to Pamela Stephenson Connolly, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. And not everyone pleasuring themselves is thinking of a past fling — some are just preferring it over sex. When Charlotte thought she was 'addicted' to her rabbit vibrator in that famous 'Sex and the City' episode — she was onto something. The Ohdoki survey also revealed that 29% of people prefer solo pleasure to the real thing, including almost one in three men (31%) and just over a quarter of women (26%). A Swedish study even revealed that on average, women pleasure themselves nine times across a 30-day period — which equals about twice per week. Do the math, and that leaves little time for hanky panky with a partner. 'Some people may find masturbation more enjoyable than sex because they can find their own sweet spot — they know what they like and what they don't like,' said Gemma Nice, a sex and relationship coach. 'When you are masturbating, you can control the rhythm, the pace and the pressure. That level of precision allows people to tune into exactly what they want and reach orgasms that are incredibly intense.' While self-pleasure is healthy and normal — Nice explained, 'If you rely too heavily on masturbation for satisfaction, it can affect the quality of partnered sex.' 'You may become so used to your own technique that a partner's touch feels less fulfilling. Masturbation shouldn't be a replacement for connection. If that's happening, it's a sign that more open communication is needed, outside the bedroom, too,' she added.

$500,000 in 48 Hours: The Handy 2 Shatters Kickstarter Expectations
LONDON, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ohdoki's latest male adult toy launch is off to a record-breaking start. Just 48 hours after hitting Kickstarter, the new The Handy 2 and The Handy 2 Pro have racked up a staggering $500,000 in pledges, securing their place as the #1 product on Kickstarter on launch day. The campaign surged past $50,000 in under three minutes, hit $100,000 before the 20-minute mark, and hasn't slowed since. The demand confirms what fans of the original The Handy have been saying for years: no one is pushing the boundaries of pleasure-tech like Ohdoki. "The response has been overwhelming," said JP Wilhelmsen, CEO at Ohdoki. "This launch wasn't just about a new product — it was a moment of validation. Seeing our community show up with this kind of passion proves the trust they've placed in us. The Handy 2 was built from direct user feedback, and this level of early support tells us we got it right. We're grateful, humbled, and more energized than ever to keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible in interactive pleasure." Building on the success of the original device - which sold over 200,000 units worldwide - The Handy 2 and The Handy 2 Pro are interactive strokers for men that introduce a suite of powerful upgrades. The devices feature a built-in battery for complete wireless use, a ClickOn system for faster and easier session starts – including for using the popular Fleshlights -, and support for upcoming modular accessories. Inside, a custom next-gen motor delivers more power and torque while reducing noise, making the experience smoother and more discreet. As with its predecessor, The Handy 2 offers unmatched interactive capabilities, including real-time syncing with flat and VR videos, games, and custom apps. It retains an open API and full access to the world's largest library of synced adult content. The Handy 2 and Handy 2 Pro are now available for pre-order exclusively on Kickstarter, with early-bird discounts and delivery beginning in August 2025.
