They’re not doing it as much or they prefer to do it without the assistance of toys. The women of Russia are not relaxed and so the frequency with which they masturbate has also dropped considerably.

I met the self-proclaimed “Queen of Vibrators” the other night at a dinner in Portugal. Sveta moved her family over shortly after the war started last year. Her husband is a typical, beaten-down Russian man who is perfectly content so long as his wife earns a lot of money. Each time he started to say something, she seemed to fear that his pro-Putin sentiments would surface and so she shut him down: “Ivan, stop blabbering over there and go order us some wine.”

“He loves Putin. I need to be careful with him — and myself. One night after he explained why he loves Putin I bloodied his lip. That’s how much I hate Putin.”

I sat and listened with joy and was thoroughly entertained by her stories about the self-pleasuring habits of Russian women. With my wife nearby, I would pretend to be more engrossed in my grilled sardines but I found it interesting that Sveta so openly shared the details of her business with us.
