Trade facilitation

The original purpose of this event is only to talk about masturbation in operational aspects, social issues, personal health, benefits of masturbation, but also promotes sexual activity and intimate toys. This contrasts with business activity in the earlier period, when "anti-masturbation business" activity promoted the purchase and sale of items such as erection equipment, dildos, sex dolls, sleepwear, and semen spill prevention equipment. Now in the sex toy business, there has been a boom in sales of series of masturbation support tools. Scott Fraser, president and CEO of Empowered Products, said: "Personally, I think every month should be Masturbation Month. It's easy to work every day knowing that all of our products help millions of people fulfill the desire of most". From January 1 to 5, 2017, TENGA, a health, sex company in Japan, launched the #DoItInMay campaign to commemorate Masturbation Month and aims to increase dialog, raise the level of accepted culture revolving around sexual health, and pleasure itself overcomes taboos. At the same time, also promote the business activity of the kinds of goods of this company. The company also released its 2018 wanking Global Reporting Survey. It's considered the largest study on masturbation in the world.
