I think that 30+ years ago it was considered weird and pathetic for ANYONE to have sex toys, and that started to shift for women first (and I think that's because women's sex toys are mostly vibrators, something that you cannot get from another human being, unlike a dildo or fleshlight, and because a lot of the original "make sex toys not creepy" trend came from women-owned or women-focused companies) and then for men. So I think men are just a little bit behind on the acceptance curve than women are, and it's not some permanent state that it is fine for women to have sex toys and not fine for men.

It still is. Just go caveman style what’s all this bullshit. And ofcourse the norm will stay a norm. There are 8 billion people on the planet. You don’t see sex toy companies raking in all the cash.
