Last week, an article in the NY Times reported that the majority of Americans in their 60s are still sexually active; not to mention half of all those in their 70s. Thus, considering copulation is increasingly common across generations, it’s little surprise that the realm of sex toys is likewise expanding. Need proof? Even rapper 50 Cent is getting in on the game – the superstar is slated to launch his own line of condoms and sex toys early next year.

So, we’ve narrowed down some of the best accessories you can enjoy solo, or, with your significant other. Here are five reasons to embrace the sexual revolution:

Paradise Found (prices range)
Meet Betony Vernon, the American-born, Paris-based, fiery redhead responsible for the jewelry line Paradise Found. Sold at high-end sex paraphernalia retailers like Coco de Mer and Kiki de Montparnasse, the sexually referential designs are handcrafted, elegant accessories with which one can stun any aesthetically responsive partner. Also, each piece in Vernon’s collection can also be used as a sex toy. For example, earrings are also ticklers, charms double as cock rings. Vernon has stated she’s particularly fond of an individual sporting the jewelry at an event or outing, to hint to their partner what’s to come after. Essentially, Paradise Found is the ultimate form of foreplay.

OhMiBod ($69)
Little did Steve Jobs know, when he created the portable mp3 device that changed the music landscape forever, he was simultaneously crafting a bona fide sex toy… that is, when used in conjunction with the recently-released OhMiBod. The first of its kind, this baby plugs into your iPod, giving you pleasure right on beat with your favorite tunes – be it P. Diddy or Pavarotti. Not exactly Mac savvy? No worries, you can opt for the Boditalk Vibrator, which goes to work when you get a call. We’re guessing a whole slew of ladies are beefing up their playlists right now…

Worn by a man, for both the pleasure of himself and his partner, this disposable little ring is rumored to work orgasmic wonders.

I Rub My Duckie Waterproof Vibrator ($19.95)
Ever been overcome with the desire to get off in the shower/sauna/hot tub/Jacuzzi, but always feared bringing a battery-powered sex toy into the mix might end in a less-than-sexy-situation? Well, you’re in luck, with the I Rub My Duckie Waterproof Vibrator. It's shaped exactly like the good ol’ bathtub-friendly duckies of your childhood. And, at less than $20, enjoy all the wet, wild fun you’d like.

Rosebud Crystal Plug ($110)
Be it a recent article in Fleshbot, or a far from forgotten blind item in Page Six (outing a certain Hollywood A-lister as the “Butterscotch Stallion”), both blog fodder and the tabloids alike seem to be telling us that the ass has never been hotter. So, considering the trend, we figured it best to include this Rosebud Crystal Plug. Besides, what says luxury like stainless steel sex toys and Swarovski?
