Pre-Covid, the sexccessories, moniker for sex toys, business was not as good. Peter says he could sometimes only get two orders a day. However, after the COVID-19 lockdowns took effect, especially towards the month of June 2020 in Kenya, orders shot up and they could get sales of up to 200 orders a month. Maureen, who also runs a sexccessories online shop, attests to the fact that the pandemic came as a blessing in disguise as business has since been booming. She started selling sex toys in March last year and so far she has no complains. “I believe self-pleasure should be normalized and not viewed as a ‘taboo’. Nobody can know your body more than you,” she says.
