11 cm Sex Toy Left Inside Woman For Ten Years!

I was reading an insightful post on SexToys twitter feed (don’t ask me how I got there) when I accidentally clicked through to their womens range of vibrators (over 500+ toys!) and I realised just how mainstream sex toys are, and how their use is undervalued, unappreciated and certainly stigmatised – surely it’s sex positive position nowadays to embrace toys that make us happy?

Every emergency room doctor has a few good stories and we love to hear them, especially when it comes to weird objects that they’ve found lodged inside patients. With a myriad of excuses

At the dawn of Life’s inception, America was slowly waking from the long national nightmare of Prohibition. During the magazine’s lifespan, American GIs
