I am a 27-year-old Kansas City transplant from Michigan. I am in no way a dating expert. In fact, I often have a love-hate relationship with dating. But when it comes to talking about dating, it's all love.

I just saw a commercial for a Trojan Her Pleasure Vibrating Touch "personal massager." Give me a break. Why not call it what it is? It's like one episode of "Sex and the City when Samantha tries to make an exchange.

Samantha: "I'd like to return this vibrator."

Store Clerk: "We don't sell vibrators."

Samantha: "Yes you do, I bought this here six months ago." (She holds up the vibrator.)

Clerk: "That's not a vibrator, that's a neck massager."

Samantha: "No, it's a vibrator."

Clerk: "Sharper Image doesn't sell vibrators. It's a neck massager."

Me: It's a vibrator! Why does it have to be a "massager"?

Call it a battery-operated boyfriend, call it a sex toy, but ... massager? Why?

Another thing that made me mad was that the Trojan commercial said something like "Finally a 'personal massager' women don't have to be afraid (or embarassed, I don't remember) to own."

Well, why would a woman be afraid or embarassed to own one anyway? And what is it about this one that would make you unafraid to own it? Because it looks like a toothbrush? Because it comes with a condom? Yeesh.

speaking of SATC, did you know they are making a special Mr. Big rabbit vibrator in honor of the movie? I saw some press release about it and some lovehoney special where people who see the movie can get half off a vibe. Can you imagine bringing your ticket to a sex toy store, like here's a coupon for a vibe! AHAHAHHAHAHAHA!

I just saw a commercial for KY His and Hers. Same problem, different product. Always tip-toeing around the issue in case someone gets offended. A little honesty would probably help this country get out of the dark ages when it comes to talking about sex. And, really, who is the KY commercial aimed at 2 a.m.? Couples? What couple is up at 2 a.m. watching reruns of Drawn Together?

My idea of that is maybe there is a small chance that children might be awake and sneaking into the living room late at night and turning on the tv and maybe they're trying to use some decorum. I did just that many times at slumber parties, in my older sisters bedroom, when my parents were out/away and we were being watched by an absent babysitter. Saw too much HBO and slasher movies etc... If I had kids I wouldn't want them exposed or have too much of a knowledge of adult things... Girls-gone-wild, infomercials advertising a whole table full of vibrators etc. I'm an adult, and I know these things are out there and very accessible to me. Must be old-fashioned I guess. The whole idea is kinda comical to me.
