Trojan Condoms just released a new, fascinating sex study packed with amazing statistics. The Trojan® Charged™ Sex Life Survey is part of the company’s promotion of its new Charged condom line.
Featured in the study is Vixely inspiration and advisor Logan Levkoff, who says, ”We all have varying needs and desires when it comes to leading a fulfilling sex life. We lead such chaotic lives that it’s easy to become complacent in the bedroom. We need to make it a priority to maintain intimacy by having honest discussions with our partners about what turns us on, whether it’s a new toy or a sexual fantasy.”
“We’re seeing a movement where women and men are becoming more comfortable talking about sex openly and exploring their sexuality by getting innovative in the bedroom to charge things up, which is why we continue to get innovative in the lab,” said Bruce Weiss, Vice President of Marketing for Trojan Sexual Health products. “Whether it’s making vibrators more accessible, or introducing exciting, new condom variants like Charged, Trojan is always looking to ways to make sex more pleasurable and exciting.”
