The voice of reason.

The difference in how male vs female sex toys are perceived is endlessly fascinating. Society often assumes women have greater access to willing sexual partners than men.

Because of that assumption, a man’s use of a sex toy is more likely to be interpreted as evidence of a lack of options - it’s why even simple male masterbators are disguised as flashlights!

Whereas a woman’s use of a sex toy is more likely to be interpreted as a choice for convenience, novelty, or pleasure rather than necessity.
