Sex Toys in the Spotlight

It’s that whole Sex in the City effect again. I’m talking about all the recent “confessions” by celebs that they do indeed use sex toys. Somehow, since one of the characters on this hugely popular show made it seem okay (and downright fun) to play with vibrators and massagers, it’s not considered taboo to publicly admit to using and/or purchasing them. Now I’m sure famous women have been using sex toys since the gadgets have been invented. It’s just now become okay to ‘fess up to it.

Consider all the people in the news that have recently admitted to sex toy usage: Howard Stern and his girlfriend , Ozzy Osbourne’s kid , and fellow Spice-a-teers Emma Bunton (an admission that came on Stern’s radio show, coincidentally) and Geri Halliwell . By the way, no wonder the Spice Girls haven’t had time for that reunion. :-)

Speaking of Brits and sex toys, I came across a hilarious commercial online. I live in the States so I hadn’t seen it before. All I will say about the ad is that I personally have been caught masturbating by a parent; in that moment, there’s just nothing you can say to explain yourself...So if you do find yourself in such a predicament, all you do is say, “Hi Mum/Dad,” close the door again, and finish yourself off. Enjoy!
