New Sex Shop Will Cast Your...

There's a newish sex toy shop in Williamsburg called Shag, and the Brooklyn Paper has the scoop. The proprietors, artists from the neighborhood, say it's not your typical sex shop storefront. There are vibrating necklaces, hand-made lingerie, and yadda yadda yadda "workers will happily make a silicone dildo that’s an exact replica of a customer’s penis." They say "it may sound like a gag gift" (hey that's not what they're used for!) "but when a husband has to leave town on business there’s no reason why a wife can’t still have a little pleasure." What is this the '50s... what about when women leave on a business trip? According to this gallery of photos from the store, all they can leave behind is a doorknob cast from a stranger's vagina.

They say "it may sound like a gag gift"...

Depending on how big it is, it could make you gag.

I actually went to this store the other day and it's pretty cool! Don't knock it till you've tried it...

I suddenly have a hankering for an Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich. Who's with me?

There's a Yelp vendor that will make necklaces of a woman's privates! All one has to do is send a photo or a description of their area.

The vagina doorknobs were cast from absolutely disgusting looking vaginas, and only a filthy "open" woman would "pose" for that piece of shit anyway. Ugh tey look like they were ripped up by a meat grinder. Not a big deal for a couple, diversity is fine but - why would you cast them all from that? Sickening.

It's ideal for women who want to return to those fond memories of "tight jeunesse".

What do you expect? You gotta be a real slutto to want your beef curtains bronzed as door handles.

How do you explain that one when the parents come for a visit *ewwww*

Just what we need, hipsters with vibrating replicas of their junk as necklaces. The guys already try to look like pederasts, I guess this fits with the gross cokehead swinger lifestyle.

...I just realized that I've been confusing the word "Pederast" with "Pedagogue" for longer than I care to admit. luckily, neither often comes up in casual conversation.

I thought I saw a kit for doing this in a sex shop years ago. I bet they use the same thing. Though I've never understood it - if you're going to use a dildo, why would you want it to be exactly the same as your man's junk? I mean if you're going to be sticking inanimate objects inside yourself you might as well get some variety going on.
