The sex toy industry is booming amidst the global pandemic, which has seen millions around the world forced to #stayhome.
Companies, including Cult Beauty, LGBTQ+ friendly sex toy retailer Kandid, and Swedish manufacturer Lelo report skyrocketing sales and searches for self-pleasure-related items across their sites –and it might just do your mind some good, too.
There's a mindfulness aspect to masturbating, sexual wellness doctor Elesha Vooght previously told us. "It's an opportunity to completely focus and clear the mind as the motions are quite repetitive."
Now, one brand is offering to pay you to test its new sex toys. British sexttoy retailer Ricky is searching for "pleasure-seeking men and women anywhere in the world who get just as excited about sex toys as we do," who will get paid £100 for each review. Though there's a slight catch, the brave candidates will also have to post their feedback on social media.
"We'll send you some of our coolest, newest sex toys to try out from the comfort of your home (that way you won't need to worry about breaking Boris' stay-at-home rule)! All you have to do is try it out, review it on your social media for us and then we'll pay you," the job description reads.
Within your feedback you'll be expected to analyse things like how discreet the packaging is, how secure delivery is, instruction clarity and product usability, sense of comfort around ergonomics and size, and, crucially, whether or not the toy hit your pleasure spot.
Ricky's best selling toys include the likes of the Love Egg Vibrator with Wireless Remote Control (£79), the Satisfyer Partner Plus Rechargeable Couples Vibrator (£40) and the Bendable Rechargeable Magic Stick Vibrator (£42).
"It's our goal to make orgasms exceptional and we need the right sex toy testers to enforce that. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to sex toys or familiar with our range - we’re all about passion at Ricky," it continues.
"Using your valuable feedback, ideas and contributions, we will continue to enhance our range of sex toys to deliver the best in pleasure for our customers. If you think you know what a delicate speed change can do for orgasms, or how discreet packaging can improve the customer journey – this is the gig for you."
To apply, you must be 18 years old and over. Applications close on May 12, 2020 and successful applicants will be contacted by May 18.
