Toronto, ON – Based out of Oakville, ON, Tokii.com is a ‘made in Canada’ initiative, and thousands of couples now rely on the site as a beneficial tool for learning more about their partners, their relationships, and love in general. As the world’s most relied-upon relationship website for couples, they recently launched their newest Valentine’s Day DiscoveryGames to measure the expectations and desires men and women have for this coming February 14th. The Data collected from the Tokii community has generated some interesting feedback.
- Some of the highlights from our members and comments from experts:
29% of men, 11% of women feel it is important to make love on Valentine’s Day
Sex in a relationship is important, period. Studies show that sex is a predictor of a happy relationship. [It] can be a miracle worker. Good sex induces the release of oxytocin and dopamine [and] fosters trust; a feeling of closeness long after the act itself is over.
(Dr. Amir Levine and Rachel S.F. Heller, MA “Attached: The New Science of Attachment”)
25% of men, 19% of women absolutely believe Valentine’s Day is for females
Females are usually more concerned about the relating aspect of relationships. They often pay attention to details and may feel unloved, unacknowledged and unappreciated if they don’t receive a Valentine’s Day gift.
(Dr. Erica Goodstone, twitter.com/BoomerHealthy)
45% of men, 19% of women think men should also be spoiled on Valentine’s Day
Let’s face it; Valentine’s Day is for women! It’s advertised to men that they need to do something for their significant other, [but] there is nothing a man wants more than to be wanted! What better way to show it than on Valentine’s Day! It’s a great opportunity to shake things up in a relationship!
(David Simonsen MS, LMFT. Creative Solutions Counseling)

Karla Stephens-Tolstoy, founder and CEO of Tokii.com, the brains behind Tokii’s Valentine’s Day campaign, knew it would gain lots of attention among devoted Tokii members.
“We wanted to really know what Valentine’s Day means for men and women, and we sure learned a lot. The results from our community have generated some striking differences between men and women: some aren’t all too surprising, women are interested in gifts and being pampered, men want the sex, but what’s great is that the context for these needs. When you read between the lines a little you can see that what women really want is thoughtfulness, and what men are after is to feel needed.”
