I am sittingin the G.S.T sex shop in west London, peering up a plastic vagina. Rarely do I do this. However a few weeks ago I viewed a news video about some folks in Germany who have reported a pharmacy to the German equal opportunities comisison because of sexual discrimination. Why, Because it provides sex-toys for girls, but not for guys. Now people don’t usually talk about this, they rabbit on about the rabbit, but the fake vagina has yet to have its Sex and the City moment. So what is out there, Or rather, what is in there?
Corey Green is the stock helper for GST. He is small and he looks tired, but he takes me through the racks of men’s toys with the intensity of a man discussing drill bits. “The big thing at the moment are the anal toys,” he says, waving at a wall of Rocks Off Naughty Boy prostate massagers. “Fellas look to have found their anal zone at last. Straight men didn’t used to want to buy anything anal,” he beams at me – the fleshlite, “That’s all changed.”
Together we peruse inflatable dolls there is an obese one called Fatima the Fully Functioning Sex Doll, who I feel a weird compassion for and some vaginas. I poked one with my finger. It has the texture of rotting jelly. It feels dead. “Men mostly buy these to use by themselves,” Gordan says. He points out the Juicy Lucy portable can, which looks like a beer can but has both a vagina and an anus inside, and the Fleshlight, a torch containing a vagina. Both are like they were put together by the legend Q for James Bond, “Now, Bond, if you press this a rubber dong will shoot out!”
Toys are a lot more acceptable now than they used to be. There seems to be more mixing between the mainstream and us. However sex toys for women are still discussed more. The choice is great. Why is this, Why do females wave their rabbits at the world while men stash their rubber vaginas?
Male sex toys don’t look quite as er cuddly as female sex toys. A probe looks more attractive than a fake vagina. It cant be said that the vagina is an ugly thing. You know a vagina is a beautiful thing indeed.
