SEX TOYS!

Yes. You read correctly. Sex toys! (Yes, *gaspshockhorror!*)

What is it with them that makes them so controversial, exiting, taboo and yet fancy and sometimes even exclusive, all at the same time? Truthfully, I've no idea! They are frowned upon by some, worshipped by some, not talked about by others.

But, I bet you this. Ask a girl if she's got one, and she'll probably say no. Ask her if she wants one, and she'll still say no. Chances are she's lying.

Everyone wants one! Most girls own one, even. It can have been a gag gift from a friend, a crazy purchase, a secret order from a funky website, or even a valentines day gift from a lover. But everyone got one! And, if they don't, they are probably a little bit curious. If only of morbid fascination.

At the same time, it seem to be widely accepted for girls to have these things, and go shopping for them. And, lord knows, they come in all sizes, shapes colours, and even with lighting effects. (Why they need that, I have no idea.) What is weird, though, is that boys are looked upon as weird if they own a toy. Be it a lovedoll or some other thing. Girls can have toys. Boys can't. Why not?

And then, there is the paradox. Boys have always been comfortable talking about "having wanked it off", without there being any problem to this. While girls cannot talk about such things. Why is this? Girls can own private toys, brag about them to friends even, but not use them?

I find this strange.

And. Yeah. I have one. It was a gag gift. I laughed when I got it. And most girls I know have one, or wants one. I know of one who made a piggybank to save up her pennies, even. Must we really judge her for it? I hope we can just get over it!
