That's what I call chickening out
Okay, compared to vaginal steaming* and the jade egg business, which we observe she still defends, I boggle forever, this looks, on the face of it, positively sane and none-woowooish?
Gwyneth Paltrow Is Selling Vibrators
Okay, I'm pretty sure that the model she is selling is not entirely unlike any other model on the market? (without actually having done extensive research in the matter).
Anyway, Ms P says (plz to have sick-bags at the ready) Goop has definitely been a partner in forging that path and in creating a culture around female health, sexual health and sexuality. That’s why we made a vagina candle. Let’s dispel all this stuff. Get your projections off me. Let me experience myself, my body and my pleasure in my own way.
But then - this is, let us point out, someone who has made her genitalia her USP, right? Have you tested the vibrator yourself?
I’ve never been asked that question before. I think you’ve made me blush. I’ll just leave it at that.
What? You have not personally tested it to ensure that it will procure super-Tantric orgasms, and you blush like a Victorian maiden accused of flashing an ankle at the suggestion that you might have deployed it, when you are selling candles called This Smells Like My Vagina and This Smells Like My Orgasm?
Well, we do observe that the late guru of sex pleasure, Betty Dodson, also made Ms P blush when describing her workshops. She was from an era that was more about getting in touch with pleasure than purveying provocatively named perfumed candles (yay 70s).
