The stigma associated with sexual activities & experimenting is reducing due to liberalization and growing acceptance of same-gender attraction. Sex-positive movements have helped clear stereotypes related to gender, age, and social construct of people. Acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community is promoting the adoption of lubricants and other such accessories.


Women are more interested in discussions about sexuality and are experimenting with sexual wellness products without hesitation. According to the U.S. Census data and Simmons National Consumer Survey (NHCS), around 49 million U.S. individuals were reported to be using personal lubricants in 2020. Marketing strategies used for these products are changing.


Manufacturers are rebranding the use of lubricants as a healthy means of improving sex life and removing the stigma associated with sexual wellness products. For instance, in May 2018, the pjur group announced an advertising partnership with GQ, Cosmopolitan, and Playboy.
