Sex Toys
In our introduction to sex education DVDs we point out that
lingering echoes of long ago may leave some with a nagging
guilt complex about doing right for sexual problems. In fact
any person should have as much feelings of guilt as they would
for caring for their teeth.
The value of sex toys as therapy for sexual problems has
long been established. Quite apart from therapy, they can
enable a more varied, and therefore more contented sex life.
Contentment, absence of stress in sexual performance, is a
formula for good health for men - and their partners share
the benefits.
The whole guilt thing reared its head in Alabama a couple
of years back. The penalty for selling a sex toy in Alabama,
where neither Viagra nor masturbation are against the law,
was fixed at a maximum $10,000 fine and up to a year of hard
labour. Well, it's a little better than in those countries
where they stone women to death for adultery.
The American
Civil Liberties Union (http://www.aclu.org/ ) challenged
the ban's constitutionality.
A District court ruled in their favour, saying, among other
reasons, that people would be "denied therapy, for, among
other things, sexual dysfunction." That ruling was overturned
in the merry-go-round of a higher court.
Pepper Schwartz, a University of Washington sociologist had
no doubts about the issue. "The only thing immoral or obscene
about purchasing a vibrator," he said, " is that someone might
arrest you for it." He added, " Sex therapists tell women
to use vibrators, books tell women how to use them, and couples
use them because many women are not orgasmic during intercourse."
To that wisdom of modern thinking on sexual health was finally
added the wisdom of the American Constitution. At the end
of last year a Federal judge ruled that "..a right to sexual
privacy.." was "..inherent among our constitutional protections.."
