As Gwyneth Paltrow‘s lifestyle site Goop bluntly puts it,
“Yep, it’s a 24-karat gold dildo.”
Sex toys have long since graduated from the floppy rubber things you hide in your bedside table to beautiful works of interactive art.”
$15K too much to spend on a gold ding-dong? OK, then there’s the slightly more realistically priced, but still expensive Tiana, which comes with a remote. It costs $399.
Or maybe this Agent Provocateur whip for $535. While the NSFW newsletter is certainly fun, Paltrow calls it one of “their most important issue yet.”
“It made us feel awkward, and shy, and like we were doing something dangerous –when we intellectually know that it shouldn’t be that way. That female sexuality isn’t taboo, that it isn’t embarrassing, and that it shouldn’t be wrapped up in so much shame. Even though so many of us have been trained to blush and giggle and joke and duck our eyes. I have those exact same impulses.“
She also told Self magazine,
“We have this idea that you can’t be a mother and a businesswoman and like to have sex! How is an intelligent woman a sexual being? It’s really hard to integrate those things. Like, ‘Gwyneth has sex? Really?’ It doesn’t seem to go together. But I think it’s important, as mothers and as women contributing to society in whatever way we each are, that our true sexuality doesn’t get lost or put aside.“
You may think she’s nuts selling a gold dildo, but she wasn’t going to get coverage with one that looks like a real dick and sells for $49.95. (There is a “Fetish Fantasy Beginner’s Kit” for just $37.99, too!) She knows how to get press, even if it’s not all positive.
Viva la Sex Positive, Gwyennie!
