Lovehoney Tackles Sexual + Electoral Dysfunction in Partnership with Vote.org

• Sexual wellness eTailer and voting platform unite to motivate consumers who are struggling in the bedroom and at the poll booths
• More than 50% of Americans experienced sexual dysfunction in the last year, meanwhile only 15-27% of those eligible to vote do so due to confusion
• Lovehoney's Electoral Dysfunction kit aims to empower Americans

ATLANTA, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- It's time to tackle sexual and electoral dysfunction. In partnership with Vote.org, Lovehoney is providing eligible voters with information about how to register to vote and educate themselves about local and state elections, while launching the ultimate stimulus package—the Electoral Dysfunction kit.

A nationwide Lovehoney and the Kinsey Institute survey revealed half of Americans have experienced sexual difficulties in the last year. While sexual dysfunction is seen as something mostly experienced by older adults, it can be an issue for people of all ages and is experienced equally by both men and women. Young adults ages 18-24 reported the highest rate of sexual problems. Low sexual interest, difficulty orgasming, and low enjoyment were reported as the three most common difficulties.

Treating sexual dysfunction can be confusing, and so can navigating election season. In fact, only 15-27% of eligible voters participate in local elections, according to the National Civic League.

Many eligible voters feel the system is rigged, are overwhelmed by a lack of information or frustrated by limited candidate options. The top reasons non-voters gave for not voting were that they don't like the candidates (17%), don't know the candidates and issues (13%) and feel their vote doesn't matter (12%), as reported by the Knight Project.

Local and state elections are crucial in shaping communities, as they determine who will make key decisions on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and public safety. While the presidential race takes the spotlight, local elections often have a more immediate impact on day-to-day life. Prospective voters can learn more about their ballot here.

The good news: Both sexual dysfunction and electoral dysfunction can be managed with the right tools.

"Masturbation can help with a range of sexual difficulties," said Dr. Justin Lehmiller, Lovehoney Scientific Advisor and Kinsey Institute Researcher. "For example, sometimes we run into sexual problems because we don't know what works for our bodies. Masturbation can help you discover what feels good, while helping you to unlock new sources of pleasure."

The same survey revealed 64% of people would masturbate more if they knew masturbation had health benefits. That's why Lovehoney has created the ultimate stimulus package with the Electoral Dysfunction kit, which comes with a mini vibrator and penis ring, providing tools to tackle sexual difficulties directly.

"In the case of erectile difficulties, a penis ring can be a handy way of helping to maintain an erection. Incorporating a vibrator into partnered sex can offer targeted clitoral stimulation, which can help women who are unable to reach orgasm through penetration alone," continued Dr. Lehmiller.

The Electoral Dysfunction kit is available now for $19.99 at Lovehoney.com.
