Table for One? This Valentine's Day, Women Are Reclaiming Pleasure and Independence

MT. LAUREL, N.J., Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Romantic dinners and heart-shaped chocolates may be staples of an iconic Valentine's Day, but a growing movement of independent women is rewriting the story. Instead of focusing on being with a partner, many are embracing self-love, autonomy, and personal pleasure—on their own terms.

"Valentine's Day has long been marketed as a holiday for couples, but women are proving that love and pleasure don't always require a plus-one," said Mayla Green, CEO of The Adult Toy Shop, a woman-owned and operated online adult toy store.

Single women are reporting higher life satisfaction than their male counterparts, according to recent studies from the University of Toronto and from Social Psychological and Personality Science. The freedom to make independent choices, focus on careers, and cultivate self-love has contributed to this shift. Part of this movement also includes a growing openness toward personal pleasure. The rise of discreet, high-quality adult products has helped normalize self-satisfaction.

"We see firsthand how women are taking control of their happiness, and that includes embracing their own desires—without waiting for a partner to fulfill them," Green said. "The idea that a woman's happiness is tied to a relationship is outdated; there are other ways a woman can find her own pleasure, especially this Valentine's Day."

The Adult Toy Shop uniquely focuses on making sure visitors feel comfortable online shopping for their personal needs. The store innovatively provides a simple online shopping experience perfect for those looking to treat themselves for Valentine's Day.

"We've seen an undeniable trend: Women are shopping for themselves, for their own enjoyment—not just for a partner. This Valentine's Day, we're celebrating that shift," Green said.
