Beware: Sex Toy Piracy Is Menacing Your Genitals
LatestBad news, everyone: not all sex piracy is the good kind. While some it involves a ragtag band of sailors enjoying one another carnally, unfortunately, a far more common practice is pirating counterfeited sex toys. This is decidedly Not Good because, if there is one place an unregulated knock-off doesn’t belong, it’s wobbling around inside a human sex organ (please feel free to steal this line and use it in your next break-up email).
In an XBiz News report, co-founder of anti-piracy group Porn Guardian Peter Phinney says that there’s been a troubling rise in “toys whose brands we knew that appeared to be knocked off and offered as genuine brand name merchandise but at drastically reduced price points,” which are typically “made offshore with inferior components and packaging, but sold as first quality.”
