Women who read erotic books have 74% more sex than women who do not.

Research in The Journal of Sex Research by Harold Leitenberg found that “women who read romance or erotic novels have an astounding 74 per cent more sex with their partners than those who don’t.” And Dr. Justin Lehmiller in the research for his book Tell Me What You Want found that over 80% of women have wonderful sexual fantasies – as much as men – and that reading erotic romance can ignite desire and arousal. Think of it as foreplay – slow, sensuous, lustful thoughts that open a woman’s deep well of sexual imagination.

“Women are much more turned on by what is said, what they read and what they hear in terms of them turning on that desire button between their ears.” – sexologist, Elaine George.

And these sex toys can be hiding in plain sight on your bedside table, the kitchen table, hell, your office desk. One book, a little lust and your plugged directly into your sexuality, in ready to go. Using a book as a sex toy is the height of “cliteracy.”
