Need A New Vibrator? Head To Walmart!

Fifty Shades of Grey is like Harry Potter for sexually frustrated housewives. Instead of the magic of Hogwarts serving as a background for the coming of age of a young wizard, it’s about a female grad student having a ridiculous amount of sex. There’s some pretty kinky shit in there, and it caused a bit of a sexual revolution among the housewives and prudish single women it was marketed to. Looking to capitalize on the fact that many more women are looking to get their rocks off, retail chains such as Target and Walmart are now carrying “personal massagers” or “vibes” on their shelves. This is the polite way of saying sex toys.

Produced by condom manufactures such as Trojan and Durex, vibrators aren’t seen as a product people should be embarrassed about owning. Meanwhile, I have to use some straight cold war era spy techniques to hide my Fleshlight for fear of being ridiculed by my buddies– double standards much, society?

Granted, devices such as these aren’t exclusively for use by single women. Nobody wants to have shitty sex, and more women are less willing to let their men get away without everyone leaving the table with an orgasm. As a result, the use of toys is becoming more socially acceptable among couples. Plenty of dudes even like a good ol’ vibe to the b-hole.

With 53% of women and 45% of men reporting to have used a vibrator according to a 2008 online survey, these things are just more common in sexual relationships than they were 20 years ago. So go ahead, everyone! Head over to your local CVS, grab a Strawberry Fanta and maybe a little pick me up for your next sexy time session with your significant other. Worst case scenario you can just put it in your own butt for the drive home. Feels good, man.

    When I was abroad, I had to stop by a local pharmacy to get some meds.  While I was walking around and waiting for my prescription to be filled, I saw a section that was somewhat obscured and off to the side.  Poking my head around, it was filled with sex toys of all kinds – vibrators, dildos, fake pussies, etc.  Talking with my friends who were more familiar with the area, they explained that it’s perfectly normal because sexual frustration was considered a medical condition and so the stuff used to help treat it could be purchased in a pharmacy.

    On a side note, interesting you should bring up the Harry Potter analogy.  I’m assuming you’re familiar with the Harry Potter broomstick toy that was used as a vibrator, right?

       I am not! I have just recently become a fan of the Potts so I’m dropping all of these references a few years too late. I’ll take a look for these broomstick shenanigans – thanks for the heads up.
