Just Playing

I don't tend to spend a lot of time thinking about sex toys.  Those that are aimed at women, I find moderately funny.  Those that are aimed at men, I find more than a little creepy.  That these things help perfectly normal people achieve pleasure in a way that doesn't harm anyone else - this doesn't affect my impression of them. They're just strange.  Even the all-American capitalist win for the guy who developed the Fleshlight -- yes, there is such a thing, and no, I'm not going to describe it - and as a result is now very rich doesn't make it more acceptable to me.  It's just - strange.

Nevertheless, this New York times article about the Tupperware-type mainstreaming of sex toys, intrigued me.
