STIMULATING BRUNCH

Just got back from a long-awaited meeting with my friend Dawn who writes a column at a local woman's magazine. It was supposed to be a brunch thingy but we had so much to talk about that by the time we were half-way through, the weekend lunch crowd began pouring into the cafe we were at.

We had lots of catching up and one of the interesting things we spoke about was on a survey that they published in a previous issue which Dawn coordinated. It was about the favourite things that women like to receive as gifts either for birthdays or special occasions. Dinners, dates and travel were not included.

I'm not sure about the exact numbers but I think it was about 300 women between the ages of 30 and 50 who were surveyed. I jotted things down so here goes.

35% - sex toys
28% - spa/facial vouchers
17% - jewelery/watches
20% - a wide range of other stuff including bags, chocolates, perfume, flowers, IT gadgets, etc.

Since this was predominantly done with the Asian cohort of women, this certainly has wide implications. But it a nutshell, it tells of two things. One - that Asian women are more aware and daring to reveal more about their sexuality. And two - for many women, toys seem to be more reliable than men!

Missus Singapore out!
