VOLOKH ON VIBRATORS
Eugene Volokh ponders why it is socially acceptable for women to use vibrators but it is considered “icky” for men to use comparable devices. I have no opinions on this matter–something you’ll rarely find me saying. I was, however, greatly amused by his intro:
Yes, this is the post is about vibrators — I know not all our readers like to read posts like this, so I thought I’d make that clear up front. This is, after all, a family blog, and you can’t very well start a family if you’re too interested in your vibrator.
Heh.
I would agree that it is “icky” too.
Actually, that this is being discussed now is actually a good sign about the progress of the war. Watch the blogs over the next couple weeks start to pick up on things other than Iraq.
True on both counts.
What’s the delicate way to put this?–I don’t agree with the “families vs. vibrators” false dichotomy. After all, a man who wanted to, um, lay the groundwork for starting a family might be well-advised to let his wife have a little electric fun beforehand, and then do what nature dictates. Much fun would be had by all.
