The sky can explain a lot. Between transits, planets, houses, and placements, astrology can actually tell us a lot about the way we are. Whether we’re looking at December’s retrograding planets for clarity, or looking to the stars to tell us which vibrator to buy ourselves for Christmas, the cosmos explains a lot about our behaviors. So, it shouldn’t come as a shock that some of these astrological patterns appear in more than just our day-to-day life β they carry over into the bedroom, too.
On Dec. 9, sexual intimacy brand, SKYN, conducted a survey of 2,000 participants aged 18 β 39 for their 2022 Sex & Intimacy Survey. This study broke down 2022’s sexual habits in terms of personal play, sex toys, and massagers. And while SKYN’s survey found a ton of interesting stats (ICYMI: the average person bought four massagers in 2022), one section stood out above the rest. If you haven’t caught on already, it’s about to get astrological.
SKYN’s survey actually found several patterns when it comes to massage use and buying habits, and they differ from sign to sign. Wanna see where you fit in? Here’s what SKYN wants you to know about your zodiac sign, and your vibrator, in 2022.
ARIES: You were open.
According to SKYN’s survey, Aries was the sign most likely to feel comfortable with others knowing about their vibrator usage. Honestly, it makes sense: Aries is a famously outspoken, honest, and firey sign. They have nothing to be ashamed of (in or out of the bedroom), and that’s why we love ’em.
Taurus: You shared the wealth.
Taurus is ruled by Venus, so it’s no wonder that they’re one of the most sensual signs in the zodiac. SKYN’s study found that, on a first date, Taurus would feel the most comfortable introducing toys in the bedroom. Not only does this help Taurus reach that big O, but it also allows their partner to feel that same pleasure. It’s a win-win.
Gemini: You rode solo (Literally).
SKYN’s 2022 survey found that Gemini is the most likely to buy a vibrator for solo play β and we love them for it. As a highly curious sign, it totally makes sense that Gemini wants to explore their body on their own time. Gemini is also extremely communicative, so they may be exploring their body as a way to identify their needs so they can later communicate them to their partner.
Cancer: You built a collection.
Cancer is known for being one of the more shy and sensitive signs in the zodiac. However, they’re also one of the most sensual. This could explain one of SKYN’s key findings: Cancer is most likely to buy more than one vibrator. Whether they’re using toys to explore alone or with a partner, this sign has a sexual side that they’re comfortable with expressing. A slay, TBH.
Leo: You were influenced.
Leo is kind of the natural influencer of the zodiac. According to SKYN’s survey, they’re the most likely to implement social media tips into their sex lives. Whether they’re reading articles on sexual wellness, or trying new sex positions, Leo loves to try new things β especially the ones they learn about online.
Virgo: You mixed business and pleasure… in conversation.
According to SKYN’s survey, Virgo was the most likely to talk to their coworkers about vibrators and personal massagers. Virgo is known for being blunt and honest, almost to a fault. However, we can’t fault them for being open about their sexuality β it’s powerful! Break that stigma, babes.
Libra: You didn’t listen to the experts.
Libra is known for being a logical sign. However, they also march to the beat of their own drum β and that includes their vibrator-purchasing habits. In 2022, SKYN found that Libra was the least likely to take expert advice when buying a personal massager. For Libra, it’s about finding out what works for them, by themself. Can’t argue with that!
Scorpio: You Were Online.
Scorpio is known for being shameless, but in 2022, they were more likely to buy a vibrator online as opposed to in-store. Whether this had something to do with keeping their sex life private, or just wanting to stay at home (relatable), Scorpio preferred doing their pleasure shopping online. Same, if I’m being real.
Sagittarius: You Were not influenced.
If there’s one thing that a Sagittarius is, it’s independent. 2022 found that Sagittarius was the least likely to buy a vibrator based on social media content. Those little IG ads? Not gonna work on this fiery, individualistic baddie!
Capricorn: You Saved the play for another day.
Capricorn is known for being a reserved sign, and that’s totally OK. SKYN’s survey found that Capricorns were the least likely to introduce sex toys on a first-time hookup β but that doesn’t mean they didn’t whip ’em out later. After all, with 85% of people buying a vibrator in 2022, it’s safe to say that Cap was just waiting to introduce sex toy play on the second hookup.
Aquarius: You listened to social media.
According to SKYN, 55% of Gen Zers were most likely to buy a sex toy based off of social media content, including influencer posts. While Aquarius is a free-flowing sign, they also value the perspective of others. So, as the zodiac most likely to buy a vibrator based on social media influencers, this definitely rings true for this air sign.
Pisces: You did your research.
Finally, Pisces is a sign that cares about the opinions of others, especially when it comes to their buying habits. In 2022, they were the sign most likely to buy a vibrator based on customer reviews. They’re not alone, though! 59% of participants also cited customer reviews as a driving factor when it comes to buying massagers. Good on you, Pisces, for doing your research!
