FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA: THIS ORGASM WAS MADE FOR YOU AND ME
We conducted a survey to help us understand our customer’s self-pleasure habits. With over 1,100 submissions, we’ve spent the last few weeks combing through the results in order to take a deep dive into the sticky world of masturbation. With labored breathing and furrowed brows, we sorted through responses based on gender identity, relationship status, and even location to assemble and analyze the most interesting and thought-provoking data.
You might have already read our blog that explored exactly how and why people were masturbating, if not you can check it out here. We learned all kinds of fun things from that research, like that most people who identified as men keep it old-fashioned and just love to jump right in with their hands, and that a lot of women enjoy spicing things up with some sexy music. But we felt it was important to dive deeper, always deeper, in search of what’s really making people grab their sheets and ruin innocent pairs of socks.
Because 94% of our respondents were based in the US, we decided to take a look at our data broken out by state in order to see how people from California, to the New York Island, from the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters, were reaching their climax. After all, America is made up of many distinct cultures, climates, and experiences – an orgasm in the Mojave desert will feel a lot different from one at the top of Mt. Washington. We wanted to see just how people differed from state to state & territory to territory when it comes to masturbation methods, orgasm frequency, lubricant use, etc. We found that there were significant differences across this vast nation.
At ONE® Condoms we’re all about inclusivity. We know that only by understanding our differences, can we work together to grow our communities and ensure that everyone who’s part of the ONE® Family is having their voice heard! With that being said, let’s see what states like to hump household furniture.
MASTURBATORY MATH: The first thing we did with our data was establish what will be henceforth known as the Masturbation Coefficient. This is a metric crafted to encapsulate the horniness of a state or territory into a single number, and is extremely useful and scientific. Below you can see this metric in practice, as part of the first ever Horny Heatmap.
It wouldn’t be right to continue without first congratulating our winner, the horniest state in the Union: North Carolina. Maybe sitting on top of the other Carolina all day everyday is too much to handle, or maybe it’s the natural beauty of those Blue Ridge mountains revving people up. Either way, North Carolinians are horny and they’re not afraid to O at their own leisure. With a Masturbation Coefficient of +0.60, they’re loads ahead of the next closest competitor.
On the other end of the spectrum, we found the least horny state to be Alaska. Our guess is it’s the cold – that’s why we recommend our ONE® Flex® graphene condoms. They enhance body heat transfer by 85% compared to standard latex condoms, providing advanced pleasure, connection, and improved skin-on-skin sensation. Take a look at the appendix below to see what makes your state bust and to see a list of the top ten most and least horny states!
SLIP N’ SLIDES & SLIP N’ FALLS: Of course it’s interesting to see how states compare when it comes to horniness, but how do those differences manifest in practice? Do hornier states mix it up, try new things to keep it fresh, or do they rely on the old tried and true methods? In Michigan, we found that people just can’t get enough of grinding. Whether it’s on the arm of a couch, a bedside table, or the fridge door handle, Michiganders showed a marked preference for humping compared to the rest of the country. 7% of them reported “humping an object” was their preferred method of masturbation, compared to 2% of the rest of the country. Just looking at that panhandle is enough to get any Michigander riled up, jutting out from the west, looking down on the rest of the state, it’s no wonder they’re so horny.
They’re not alone though, if we travel down south, we can see that people all across the country are looking to enhance their solo play. We found that 9% of Floridians reported “inserting an object” was their preferred method of masturbation compared to 1% of the rest of the country. Another panhandle state showing the rest of us how it’s done. We hope the fine people from Florida are using dildos, big and small, thick and thin, for their own safety. And if they’re hoping for easy cleanup after, we recommend using our MyONE® Custom Fit® Condoms as your dildo buddy. With 52 unique FitCodes (condom sizes), we have condoms to fit a variety of lengths and girths. Simply follow our measuring process for penises here, using your dildo as a reference instead. Because MyONE® condoms are lubricated with silicone, just be careful that the condom won’t have any impact on your dildo (if it’s made of silicone). We use high-quality, medical grade silicone on our condoms. You can do a little spot check on the side of your dildo to make sure the condom lubricant will have no impact on the toy. If you have any questions, you can reach out to our Size Specialist expert, Cosmo, here: info@onecondoms.com
CUM NOW OR DIE: The differences across this beautiful nation don’t stop there. We discovered some very interesting patterns related to people’s goals with masturbation. Like us, you may have assumed that masturbation is really just a means to the end, the end being an orgasm. But it’s 2025, and as society evolves, so too does our self-pleasure. It’s no surprise that another state with a panhandle is taking masturbation to the next level. We found that 8% of Oklahomans reported they rarely orgasmed when masturbating compared to 2% of the country. The sharp edges of the panhandle have meandered their way into the character of the state, because apparently Oklahoma is an edger’s paradise. At least we hope it’s a deliberate choice. Edging, or delaying orgasm, can be a really fun way to enhance a solo-play session. But if it’s due to the dry air or something else, we recommend our ONE® Move® Silicone Personal Lubricant. ONE® Move® will get you there quickly, that’s why we call it move. But if you simply can’t get enough of self-pleasure, the super long-lasting formula will excel under the diligent work of any edging session.
If we travel north, we can see that edging isn’t universally acclaimed. We found that 85% of New Hampshire-ites reported they orgasmed every time they masturbate, compared to 71% of the rest of the country. If you’ve ever seen a license plate from there, you might be familiar with their state slogan: ‘Live Free or Die’. This mantra defines life in the individualistic paradise that is New Hampshire, and with this new data it might be the time to make an update. We propose: ‘Cum Now or Die’. 
ON A MASTURBATORY MISSION: The more we attempt to understand masturbation and self-pleasure, the more we realize that there really are no limitations, not even definitionally. That’s right, we’re talking about mutual masturbation – when two or more partners pleasure themselves at the same time. When it comes to that kind of thrilling experience, we found that nobody does it better than our polite friends in Utah. That’s right, Utahns/Utahians/Utahans just love a shared experience when it comes to masturbation. 95% of them reported having tried mutual masturbation, compared to 67% of the rest of the country. It’s beautiful in a way, perhaps love is just different in Utah. Frightened by the desert wind, or overwhelmed by the natural beauty of their sparkling oases, Utahians could be understanding intimacy at a deeper level. After all, what could be more intimate than sharing what most people think of as the pinnacle of a personal experience.
Or maybe it’s because mutual masturbation can be a stepping stone to other sexual activities. If you’re nervous about taking the next step, diving in face first per se, then mutual masturbation can be a great way to explore intimacy with a partner in a non-threatening, low-pressure way. Take your time, yes, but if you’re looking for a little jolt to maybe encourage you to take the plunge, we would recommend our Intense Arousal Kit. Not only does it feature a mix of unique condom styles, it also includes six sachets of our Move® Silicone Personal Lubricant, that you already know is perfect for spanking the monkey or spinning some records. And when you feel like taking it even further, all of the kits include a mini-vibrator that can be used solo or with a partner. So the next time you’re basking in the sunlight on the shore of the Great Salt Lake, bring a partner, hide behind a bush somewhere, and enjoy yourselves, you’ll be sure to fit right in with the locals. 
If you’re curious about your own state, then please take a look at at the appendix down below! We found so many interesting patterns and trends, and every state is unique in its own way. We would have liked to dive into the fact that Hawaiians hate using spit, or that Iowans love to, but alas, we must turn our focus to other important tasks at hand. We’re passionate about ensuring everyone has access to a condom that fits, or partnering with communities and organizations across the country to promote safer sex for all.
In our data-driven journey across America, perhaps the most important thing we learned was that despite all our differences, our preferences, our likes and dislikes, Together We Are ONE®. United in our never ceasing pursuit of the perfect orgasm, always adhering to the shared principles of inclusivity, empathy, and self-expression. There are different strokes, for different folks, literally. And whether you’re horning it up on the beaches outside Wilmington, humping couch legs in Lansing, riding dildos in Tallahassee, edging in Tulsa, busting loads in Concord, or staring directly into your partner’s eyes while you massage your meatbag in Provo, you’re all part of the ONE® Family.
