Boys And Their Toys

Well Im in the G.S.T sex-shop in west London, peering up a plastic vagina. I seldom 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 stocks sex toys for women, but not for men. 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?

Steve Jones is the stocker for G.S.T. 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. "Lads look to have found their bums at long 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 stick my finger inside one. It feels like a bowl of jelly. It feels dead. "Fellas often get these to use on their own," Andrew speaks. 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 is more mixing between the mainstream and us. People speak more of female sextoys than male ones. The choice is great. Why is this, Why do women wave their rabbits at the world while men hide their rubber vaginas?

Guy sex toys don't look as nice as chick sextoys. A thruster rabbit looks more attractive than a fake vagina. You can't say the vagina is an ugly thing. You cant call them ugly, quite the opposite infact.
