Frankly, I think that if they had gone with a different name (why mask the flavor?) and had approached their target markets differently, there wouldn’t be all this kerfluffle over it. But the way that they initially promoted their product left me with an unfortunate taste in my mouth.

If Masque is sex-negative, then why aren’t sex toys like vibrators or dildos considered sex negative? Why isn’t lube sex negative? Why isn’t pornography or erotica sex negative? (Note, I don’t think they are – but follow my logic for a moment if you will…) You could make the argument that if you need these “extras” in order to enjoy sex, then you’re negative about sex. Now, in reality most people would admit that these “extras” make sex more enjoyable for them and therefore make sex more positive. That’s how I feel about Masque.

It doesn’t make you sex-negative if you don’t like the taste of semen (or do, but acknowledge the fact that many people don’t). If you don’t like to perform oral sex, then that’s okay. But if the only thing keeping you from enjoying it, is the taste… then Masque is a really easy way to make sex more positive and enjoyable. That’s sex positivity if I ever saw it.

Quiet is good. Alone is good.

I would have felt much better if she had written entirely from her own perspective, rather than lumping every woman into her POV.

Granted, sometimes I think cocks look silly. But then, I often think women’s goody bits look just bizarre in some of the photos I’ve seen.

Thanks for the fascinating read. *smiles*
