It caught my eye GOOP, Gwyneth Paltrow’s welfare propaganda emporium, has branched out into the wild, woolly world of sexual “well-being”, which goes beyond the or vagina and into more frank territory: sex toys that look like objects of art and bear no resemblance to what is supposed to be.
The GOOP vibrator, which it currently is sold, costs $ 95 and looks like a stylized ice cream cone. According to the description of the place, it has a double aspect: the seductive ball of ice cream at the tip is a “wonderful ball rod,” providing vibrations for external stimulation, while the other end is the part that goes up there, to use the clinical term. The thing it looks like a Hitachi magic wand, but it also looks like something they would sell The wing, which is the first red flag. The second flag, larger and more vibrant, is that, according to Ms. Goop, the vibrator must be “intellectual.”
Paltrow said this in an interview with New York News around the release of this item. The reason he launched a vibrator is now partly due to the pandemic, and also because sex toys are always sold and since not everyone has or wants to spend $ 15,000 on a solid gold dildo, the price of this thing to the consumer may be in their favor. Since the article has sold out, I guess so! Here is the old gallon with an explanation:
Why a vibrator now?
For many people, not for you or for me, a vibrator is still considered quite a stylish thing. Obviously, this has changed a lot over the last decade. But even so, people are provoked by sexual content or triggered by their own sexuality. Women are not taught a particular vernacular language and to express what we want. We are not good at being vulnerable about our own sexuality.
I think unlike “Why a vibrator now?” it’s kind of like, “How can we make a vibrator that helps keep stigma going around these things?”
Talk about your design.
So many vibrators seem hypersexualized. Either they’re really phallic or they look like something you’d buy at a sex shop. I was very intrigued by the idea that this would be something that looked very pretty and fun and that you could leave it on your night without embarrassing anyone or anyone. There is something very possessive about this.
Explain?
I think we were trying to do something … maybe a little more intellectual.
The rest of this interview is the same kind of pap you might expect from a vibrator that looks like your mom will grab it and ask you what it is like if you left it on the kitchen table as part of a interior design picture. you were doing work. Because the vibrator looks like one decorating instead of using something to fuck you before bed, this means it’s a “destigmatizing” masturbation. He has also set aside sex shop associations that, for example, have the rabbit, because its curved edges and brass accents call it “West Elm” instead of “crotchless panty emporium on Central Ave, in White Plains, near the Burger King “. Sex toys that look like things you would be “proud” to show off in your shop window or on the Lucite waterfall service table or whatever they are not novelty: is that Paltrow is not able to break the way he is believed to be.
Other companies like Lelo a minute ago they produced vibrators and sex toys that don’t look like favors for bachelorette parties, so this point is neither here nor there. My biggest problem with sex toys Goop is my problem with all sex toys that look like tiny little bubbles are silly. A sex toy it should it looks like it came from a sex shop, because that’s half the fun. The Rabbit vibrator is good because it’s good, but it’s also good because it looks like a purple alien with “pearls” on its axis and it’s the kind of thing you might laugh at when you look at it and it’s okay to put it out in the drawer of underwear when you’re done. I want what you use to self-dare to look “handsome” in case it comes out on the table when someone comes, but why do you want it to look? tan is it okay for someone to grab it and touch it with their hands? I don’t care if anyone knows I’m masturbating, but I don’t want other people to touch my shit unless they do it REDACTED and we already agree on what REDACTED is.

A sex toy is intrinsically stupid. It is literally a tool. There is nothing particularly intellectual about a toy being attached to the clitoris and sucks it like a small lollipop. There’s nothing intellectual in Goop’s knockoff either. Does the sex toy read Proust? Are you forced to hold a lecture on Marxism while trying to scrub one and eat some sun chips? Let sex toys be what they are supposed to be and, for God’s sake, leave the intellect out at once.
