Toy Story

I attended a sex toy party on Sunday night with Steph. How can I describe the event? 17 lesbian women, and 3 gay men all handling vibrators of different weights and sizes. My personal favorite...the Buck Rodgers model, which had literally lights and moving ball bearings. This thing could guide planes into airport runways.

Had some type of reaction to the throat de-sensitizing cream (to reduce the gag reflex) and my throat is still pretty sore today. Do people actually use that stuff?

Found this article while searching for a picture of the Buck Rodgers model (I'll have to post that one later). How many innuendos can you find?

Marital aids available in bulk

By Richard Salmons
June 21 2002

This morning, a warehouse in a Canberra suburb is bulging at the sides with possibly the greatest collection of X-rated apparatus outside Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.
This follows the delivery of nine tonnes of "prosthetic penises, harnesses, vibrators and leather marital aids" into the care of adult product purveyor Sharon Austen Ltd.
The truckloads of goods have been arriving since Sharon Austen struck a deal to distribute sex toys - in what chief executive Chris Thorpe described as innovative materials, textures and shapes - from United States manufacturer Erostar Erotic Novelties.
The Sharon Austen-Erostar deal created a unique German-American tie-up, Mr Thorpe said. "Their products have been created with passion, pleasure, fantasy and always state-of-the-art functionality in mind," he said.
Sharon Austen is 30 per cent owned by German company Beate Uhse.
Erostar explains on its website that it aims "to create the supreme adult-toy manufacturing facility - a facility that is beyond anything the adult industry has ever seen".
If nothing else, the mountain of stock - equipping Sharon Austen for a marketing thrust that it says will "cut out the middleman" - gives weight to its boast that it has "gone long" on sex toys.
The arrival of the goods also follows a restructuring of the company, which recorded a $750,000 net loss in the six months to December.
It pulled out of dot-com ventures, forged a union with Mr Thorpe's company Divolution, and wrote off a lot of nonperforming assets.
Mr Thorpe explained: "By importing our goods directly from the manufacturers, we improve our margins.
"This move expands on our strategy of focusing on our core strengths and existing distribution channels."
The stock firmed one cent to 10 cents yesterday.
